Warriors Super Edition: Bluestar's Prophecy
By Erin Hunter
This is the best book ever in the Warriors series! It’s so sad, but also heartwarming! I loved Bluestar, because she’s such a brave and headstrong cat. She faces her fears in a way that I can only call exemplary, and I think she’s a great role model for all readers. The story starts with her as a kitten named Bluekit. She has always been peaceful and safe with her sister, Snowfur, and her mother, Moonflower. But when she becomes an apprentice, receiving the name Bluepaw, and begins her training to hunt and fight like the wild cat she is, Moonflower dies in a terrible battle. Angry and grieving, Bluepaw feels like she can never become a true warrior. And when a cat named Goosefeather gives her a prophecy—“You will blaze through the forest like fire. Only water can destroy you”—she gets even more frustrated. What are these cryptic words supposed to mean? No one knows...except for Goosefeather, of course. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Bluepaw, (now a warrior named Bluefur) and her sister, Snowfur. When Snowfur gets hit by a monster—a strange object that the two-legged creatures near their territory drive around in—Bluefur’s heart is torn in half. The only thing that makes her happy is seeing Oakheart, a tom. But their relationship is forbidden...and if any cat finds out, they might be banished from their homes, and everything they have ever known. Can Bluefur make the right decision? Read this book to find out!
Warriors Super Edition: Crookedstar's Promise
By Erin Hunter
Stormkit has always wanted to be the leader of Riverclan, maybe even more than his brother Oakkit. But one day, while sneaking out of camp and onto the stepping stones, Stormkit and Oakkit are chased by Goosefeather, the Thunderclan medicine cat. Stormkit falls on the edger of a stone and breaks his jaw. All of a sudden, almost every cat in camp hates him. Even his mother Rainflower tells Hailstar to change his name to Crookedkit. Will Crookedkit ever achieve great things? Then, Crookedkit meets Mapleshade, a Starclan cat. She explains to him that to become a great warrior, he must be loyal to his clan above all other things. Crookedkit soon finds out how this promise can impact his life, and not just in positive ways. I was instantly persuaded to love cats after reading this book!

Charlotte's Web (50th Anniversary Retrospective Edition)
By E. B. White
Fern has saved Wilbur’s life. He was smaller than the other pigs, and Fern’s father was going to turn him into bacon, but Fern took him as her pet. Now, after Fern has cared for him a while, they have sold him to Fern’s uncle; Mr. Homer Zuckerman. Fern goes to her uncle’s farm every day to see Wilbur, and talk to the animals. But then, the sheep brings them to the attention that the Zuckermans are going to turn Wilbur into bacon and ham at Christmas! Charlotte, a new spider friend of Wilbur’s, promises to help save him, and weaves words that are “a miracle”. Wilbur soon becomes famous, and people from all over come to see the words in Charlotte’s web. In a story of true friendship and helping others, E.B. White writes another classic that will never be forgotten. My thoughts: I love E.B. White! I was introduced to that author when I read Stuart Little with my mom as a youngster. I thought that was a great story, and when my mom told me to read Charlotte’s Web, I did not decline. I am pretty positive I have seen this movie, but I do not remember it. I really enjoyed reading this book; I love the bond between Fern and the other animals. Her mother is always saying “Animals don’t talk. Stop making things up.”, but Fern has a really deep connection withWilbur. Animals are a big part in our lives, whether we realize it or not. Also, the illustrations complemented the text very well, and I like how Rosemary Wells spruced them up by adding some color to them. So, a great book for fans of Stuart Little and E.B. White. Overall: 8.5 out of 10 Stars

Allegiant (Divergent)
By Veronica Roth
In the groundbreaking last installment of the bestselling Divergent trilogy, Tris and Tobias' fates balance on the point of a knife. Evelyn Johnson, Tobias' mother, now rules Chicago along with the rebels, but life is the same as when the factions thrived - possibly worse. Even after Tris risked her life to reveal the truth about the creation of the factions, Evelyn refuses to do anything about it, continuing to lock everyone inside the city at the hands of the rebels. In the midst of riots and confusion, Tris and Tobias join the group of people ready to break out of Chicago called the Allegiant. But they meet several casualties along the way, including immobilization and deaths. And even when the Allegiant cross Chicago's borders, the truth about the world is uglier than they ever imagined. Chicago's factions were simply an experiment by the American government; Divergents are pure-blooded, and everyone else is considered "genetically damaged"; and every single thing the city of Chicago went through was orchestrated, including the Abnegation massacre. From there on, it all begins to deteriorate. Secrets, rumors, and betrayals fly as bonds of love are tested. The Allegiant rises against the all-powerful US government. Friends are imprisoned and die. But in the end, all it takes is one choice. And though Tris is a genetically-pure Divergent, she is far from invincible. A gorgeous, shattered, heartbreaking story, Veronica Roth weaves the last Divergent book with lost kisses and the salt of tears.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)
By J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter starts another year at Hogwarts, knowing it will never be the same. Voldemort's reign of terror is in full force. Dumbledore has been mysteriously leaving Hogwarts for personal business. And we have yet another Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. This time it's... SNAPE! Dumbledore has held Snape from teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for a long time, but there is no other choice. Meanwhile, Dumbledore has recruited a new Potions teacher. Professor Horace Slughorn. Harry finds the old potions book of The Half-Blood Prince. With the new tips and tricks The Prince provides, he quickly becomes a potions whiz. The potions book not only holds tips for potions, but also made-up spells. Harry is brought with Dumbledore on a mission. A mission to find Horcruxes. Harry and Dumbledore come back, only to find Death Eaters in Hogwarts! What will happen next? You'll have to read the book to find out. I cried while reading this book. I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!! This book was absolutely stunning! This is my fourth time reading it, but my first time reviewing it. I love how J.K. Rowling is able to convey a story line that makes you think without getting you frustrated or confused. If the Harry Potter universe somehow came to life, I know Hermione and I would become instant BFF's. This book is great. Everyone should read it, especially if they like fantasy, but even if they don't they should give it a try!
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (Book 4)
By J.K. Rowling
It is the summer holidays and soon Harry Potter will be starting his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is counting down the days; there are new spells to be learnt, more Quidditch to be played and the Hogwarts castle to continue exploring. But Harry needs to be careful – there are unexpected dangers lurking… I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and out of the seven I'd probably say that The Goblet of Fire is my favourite, and this is mostly down to the creatures and other wizarding students we meet in the novel. As a lover of Hogwarts it's interesting to know what other wizarding schools are like in the world of Harry Potter, and to explore further the seemingly endless list of creatures. I can never find a boring or uninteresting moment in The Goblet of Fire and I never get sick of reading it again and again as it's so easy to lose myself in Harry Potter with the astounding events and distinctive characters. I really like how Hermione Granger strives through in this book as not just a clever girl, but as a girl with passion and determination. I like her complex personality; normally she is typecasted into just being 'intelligent', but Hermione is shown with a more girly and emotive side in this book, giving her more depth than just being Harry's clever friend. She is well-rounded and is more accessible as a regular person (though a witch) with feelings and a personality. In this book we regularly come across Cedric Diggory, a Hufflepuff, who allows us to see the Hufflepuff house in more depth rather than just briefly touching upon it as it has been in other books. I like how we can see the fairness Cedric strives to uphold throughout this book, showing us the value of Hufflepuffs. Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should definitely re-think that decision as this is the book where it all changes and it's then impossible to not continue reading the rest of the books. The Goblet of Fire definitely deserves a 5/5 in my opinion.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
By J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third instalment in the Harry Potter series, and is by the incomparable JK Rowling. The Harry Potter series are described as 'children books', however, in my opinion, whether you're twelve or twenty two, I highly recommend them!! Now after a long summer (and some aunt abusing antics), Harry is back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with his trusty best friends: Ron and Hermione. Yet, secret and mysterious things are happening in the wizarding world, and Harry is not safe from the dark and dangerous people at large. Who is the infamous Sirius Black, who escaped from the notorious wizard prison: Azkaban? And what could the fugitive Black possibly want with Harry? Harry, Ron and Hermione, spend another magical year at Hogwarts, where Harry learns far more about his past then he could have expected. As always with Rowling's books, I loved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! JK Rowling's words have a curious habit of coming to life, and her characters are funny, and realistic. One of the greatest things about Harry Potter, is that they improve with each book, and you can clearly glimpse the clever, intricate plot Rowling has wove, with cleverly placed foreshadowing and seemingly innocent hints. This book is undoubtedly darker than the previous ones, as Harry learns more and more about the sinister forces that threaten the wizarding world. The characters begin to get more developed and more complex, and an awful lot more interesting. I must warn you though, that once you begin, you'll find it almost impossible to stop! Once you finish, you'll be skimming through it again, finding seemingly obvious clues, thinking 'How did I miss that?!'. If that wasn't enough to get you interested, the Harry Potter covers have recently been redesigned, and they are even more stunning than ever! The Prisoner of Azkaban cover is by far my favourite: Harry heroically brandishing a wand, from which a silver stag has erupted! To no one's surprise, I give Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 5/5 stars!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
By J. K. Rowling
I haven't read this series in... forever... I read the whole series when I was in third grade... (PRESENT) but I was looking at my mini library... and I saw the thick hardcover book(I even blew out the dust on the cover :P)... and it brought back so many memories :)... I remembered watching the awesome movies (Emma Watson and the twins lol), and going to Orlando to go the World of Harry Potter... NOTE: YOU HAVE TO DRINK THE BUTTERBEER... IT'S AMAZING...I really wished they have something like this in Cali... but I heard they are going to make a Harry Potter World in Universal *squeal* and I am soooooooooooooooooo excited :-D... but now I'm kinda getting off topic... so back to the subject... I blew the dust... and I started reading it over... and this is a *a kind of a SPOILER* So Dumbledore passed away *sobbing* from Snape; and now there are so many sacrifices to protect Harry from the evil Voldemort... Like Mad Eye had passed away *tears* and one of the twins (Fred and George [my fave/hilarious characters] ) got really hurt... by using a potion to look like Harry...but they do arrive at the Burrow.... Anyways they are looking for the Hocruxes to officially get rid of Voldemort for good... Later on a wizard tell Harry, Ron, and Hermoine about the Deathly Hallows... So honestly I really do not want to spoil anything... but here it goes... a lot happens... so most of it there's a lot of action where some people (SPOILER) gets tortured... SPOILER: Also Snape was actually one of the good guys (my suspicion was actually correct... Some of my friends who read these series thought I was crazy :D) *yay...* Anyways they are still looking for the remaining Hocruxes...
