The Hidden Kingdom (Wings of Fire, Book 3)
By Tui T. Sutherland
This is the 3rd book in the series, and this is my second favorite book in the wings of fire series. Read 1 and 2 before reading this book because if you start at this book, you will not understand anything in the book. I recommend this book because it is a good shocker. The twist in this book is crazy and it also tells the story from glorys perspective. You could also call this book thrilling or a real page turner. It always keeps you on edge and wanting to know what is gonna happen next. I hope this book will be your next read and I also hope you will have a fun time reading this book as much as I did!

I love the book Frindle because it is just a funny short book about a not thinks that he can name a pen frindle because they had a lesson on how names don't have a definition on everything. So the boy decided to make "pen" frindle instead. The author ( Andrew Clements) make very relatable children books! (You should DEFINITELY read at least one of his books!)
