Mister Max: The Book of Secrets: Mister Max 2
By Cynthia Voigt
WOW, this book was really good... I wasn't surprised how Cynthia Voigt started out all mysterious... but it was a fun easy relaxing book... the plot was on point and "Mister Max" was very mature and a problem solver.. I really enjoyed this book and even my brother liked the book too, so I guess this easy read was a win-win. :-)... and plus you have all these questions forming in your head wanting to read more and more... I hope you guys will enjoy this book too!

Amelia's Notebook
By Marissa Moss
Alright, alright. Some people may say that the Amelia's Notebook series is a way lower grade book for me, but it really is not. I mean, the book level is low, but if you just have the spark of a child's mind, just like Amelia's, you would definitely agree that this book can just let you go with the flow. The Amelia's Notebook series is really breathtaking because this is like the Dork Diaries series (Except with less dialogue) and everyone (especially girls :3) should be able to know that reading another person's words about their life is pretty cool. This is when I will stop here because I want YOU to experience the fun & issues that Amelia is going through!! Please enjoy this (note)book and think of the child's mind!! 4 stars!!

Lost in the River of Grass (Carolrhoda Ya)
By Ginny Rorby
Could you imagine being stuck in the Florida everglades. For 5 days. In the book Lost in The River of grass by Ginny Rorby the main character Sarah and a boy she met while on this field trip get lost in the Florida everglades. The antagonist is the treacherous waters and the blazing hot sun. The protagonist Sarah and Andy. A problem Sarah and Andy face is not having enough to eat or drink. Another problem they experience is having to trudge through knee deep water which what they're stepping in is mud and limestone which has holes in it. I would say the turning point is when they start to hear planes and helicopters flying around them. I would recommend this book to 6th grade and up this is a YAC book so it has some advanced stuff. But if you can handle that kind of stuff this is a great book about survival and perseverance. Will they make it out or will they die unknown.

Audacity
By Melanie Crowder
star student
The author (Melanie Crowder) makes me feel like I'm in the story because Melanie Crowder uses awesome words and makes the story so intense. For example, in the story its says "We travel half way the world and still my dreams are impossible." and she's one of my favorite authors and in every single part i could feel her same pain and happiness. It's a really good book I love it.
