Warriors: A Vision of Shadows #5: River of Fire

By Erin Hunter

Deep in the forest, a gang of strange mysterious feral cats dwells. In ENGLAND. That fact was established in the first book. After 28 books a lot of stuff has happened. Most importantly, Fierestar, the main character in the first arc thingy, has DIED. Now the books focus on three new cats: Violetshine, Twigpaw, and Alderheart. Anyway, this is book 5. So Shadowclan, one of the main groups of cats, has disbanded due to not having enough cats and OTHER REASONS. Now there are only three clans because RiverClan, another group, is closing its borders due to rebuilding. And Alderheart is very apoplectic. Google it. He thinks StarClan does not want that and they don't. Meanwhile, Twigpaw decided to leave SkyClan in the last book and recently went to ThunderClan, which is Alderheart's clan. And her sister Violetshine is doing stuff in SkyClan with her friend Tree. So one day Twigpaw goes to the Moonpool, which is where all the medicine cats, who are sort of like Shamans, go to, and sees that a camp has burned down! DISASTER IS COMING. Oh no. Every clan needs to work together, but how is that possible with just three clans? The book was a very enjoyable read, and it was really interesting, but the plot was strange. I could not keep track of IT. But overall, nice book.

Lea Dives In (American Girl Today)

By Lisa Yee

Lea Clark is looking forward to seeing her brother after 3 years- Zac had been to college in Brazil! But the reunion isn't picture perfect. Zac is still treating Lea like a little kid, and they aren't getting along very well. Lea goes to the beach with her family-- nothing to be scared about, right? But after a bad incident with a big, salty wave, Lea is scared of swimming in the ocean. She finds she enjoys taking pictures of the water more than actually being in it! She meets a great new friend named Camila who attempts to help Lea get over her fear of the ocean. One day Lea goes hiking with Zac and her dad, and trouble strikes. Can Lea get over her fear of the ocean and prove to Zac she's more mature? I loved this book!! Even though it was more aimed at younger kids than 12-year-olds like me, I still loved the descriptive nature of this book as I took a trip with Lea to Brazil, a country of culture and fun!

Wednesdays in the Tower (Tuesdays at the Castle)

By Jessica Day George

It has a great cliffhanger at the end. I loved the griffen that they raised and named him Rufus. The characters are set up really well. They are adventurous, funny, loyal. You should read Tuesdays in the Castle first. It good series.

Hilo Book 6: All the Pieces Fit

Hilo Book 6: All the Pieces Fit

By Judd Winick

This book is interesting. It is interesting because of how it ends. I won't tell you how it ends, because then I would spoil the book, but let's just say that D.J. (the main character who is not really good at anything except being a good friend) learns that not everything will be the way you want it to, even after you achieve your goal. Also, I really liked this book even though it is a graphic novel and I usually prefer regular books because the action was sort of spread out through the book. You should like this book if you like graphic novels, but if you read the other books for humor then you probably won't like this very much because this book is more serious. Also, this book is WAY more intense than the other ones, so I would not suggest it to the average 1st grader, even though they might be able to read it because of all the pictures.
