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.

Crying is Like the Rain: A Story of Mindfulness and Feelings
By Heather Feinberg
It's pretty sweet, but if you're a sixth grader hoping for a chapter book, then it's not amazing, but I will admit it's perfect for little kids. I flew through it so fast, Sora said I spent zero minutes on it!
Scrawl: A Novel
By Mark Shulman
DogLover
I really liked this book. It is funny and its like a true story. The writer uses the idea of a journal to make Todd tell his story and he tears out the pages and staples them in other places so you can see it in the order that you're supposed to read it adn not in the order it was written. That was really clever. I'm in 8th grade. I think it's okay for 6th grade but I don't get why they say 2nd t0 5th grade.
The Wolf Wilder
By Katherine Rundell
THE WOLF WILDER is an exciting and mysterious account of how friends can help you overcome CHALLENGES. It tells the story of 12-year-old Feo, who lives in the 1910s in snowy Russia. She lives in the woods with her mother Marina, and they rewild pet WOLVES. Which is a very nice occupation. The book begins with some soldiers barging into the hut and demanding 3 trillion dollars because one of their wilded wolves killed an elk. They confiscate Feo's golden necklace and issue a stern warning: If they ever find out that they have been wilding wolves again, there will be SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. But they do it anyway, because why not? Then they get caught and Marina is sent to jail. So, Feo and her wolf friends, along with a human named Ilya, set out to rescue her mother and fight General Rakov, the cruel commander of the Russian Army who is EVIL. This book was very funny, especially about wolves eating toes. And it had a lot of action in it too! It also teaches about the importance of bravery and WOLVES. I recommend it to people who like fast-paced stories with animals in them.
My Life in Pink & Green: Pink & Green Book One
By Lisa Greenwald
Have you ever wanted life to be like it was a couple years ago? Lucy did from My life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald. This book takes place in Lucy’s family’s pharmacy and at Lucy’s school in modern days. The protagonist in this book is Lucy because even though she is only 12 she tries to fix all of the problems that are going on with her family’s pharmacy and her life. The antagonist in this book is Lucy’s family’s pharmacy because nobody shops at her pharmacy anymore and it might have to get shut down because there is almost no business anymore. One conflict in this story is that there is not a lot of business at the pharmacy anymore. Another conflict in this story is that Lucy’s mom and grandma don't have a lot of money so they might have to sell the pharmacy and get another job. The turning point is in the middle to the end of the book. Lucy finds something that could help her pharmacy and everything starts to go better for Lucy. I liked this book and I recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books and people who like girly books.

Lillie has lived as a slave with her mama and papa and her younger brother Plato, at Greenfog Plantation her whole life. When the Confederate Army promised freedom for the family of any slave who serves in the War Between the States, Lillie's papa decides to serve in the army to give him and his family freedom. But Lillie and her family receives news that papa had been killed in the war, they aren't freed. The Confederate Army claims that he was a thief and stole a pouch of Yankee gold, so they broke the promise. Lillie knew that her papa wouldn't steal anything. Could she prove that her papa is innocent and free her mama and Plato? I really liked the story and Lillie's determination to help prove that her father is not a thief. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to read about what life was like to a slave.
