The Thief Lord
By Cornelia Funke
I think this is a awesome and very interesting book. The character are special and how they interact with each others, also the relationships between them make me feel alive. When I was reading the story, I feel nervous when Victor almost got them, I feel funny when they joke and get angry at each other, I feel differently. The story is very cool and as I was reading it, I feel like the characters are coming alive. After reading this story, it really reminds me of me and my best friends. When I was small, I always imagine and wanted to have a group of friends that forms a team that is very famous and powerful.
Say Something
By Peter H. Reynolds
This is a nice book that inspires all ages to speak up for themselves. No matter what you want to do to change the world, you can say something and voice your opinion. Overall, I love this book and after reading it I hope it will inspire you.
The River (A Hatchet Adventure)
By Gary Paulsen
SavannaMoore
I would read Hatchet first, it would make more sense. He is not alone this time. He has a man named Derek Holtzer with him. But on a stormy night Derek reaches for his briefcase and gets struck by lightning and in a coma. Brian had to build a raft and travel the river to a trading post where they are saved. I totally recommend it! 🙂

This Totally Bites! (Poison Apple #2)
By Ruth Ames
I love this book soo much, it's very good, and in a lot of ways I'm like Emma-Rose (And just because my pic has pink and stuff, don't let that fool you. I'm just trying to look like my fave singer)
Heat
By Mike Lupica
The “No-Neck”, fire hydrant-shaped yet graceful, loyal, chatterbox, (drum roll), Manny, is by far my most favorite character in the book. He’s been sent by the angels to help Michael in Michael’s dark times of distress. Michael knows that a world without Manny is like pizza without the cheese. If Manny weren’t there for Michael, what would become of him? They do everything together, and Manny is willing to do anything for Michael. What more could a friend want than Manny? He’s a very relatable character; you’ve probably got one of these Manny’s in your life. One reason specifically why I like Manny so much is because he’s a lot like me. We’re both huge chatterboxes and crack jokes in unnecessary situations. He’s the finishing masala to the book, which of course would never be complete with Manny. “Heat” without Manny would be a heart-wrenching tragedy story, with Michael constantly under clouds. The comedy factor combined with the drama is what makes “Heat” so special, and Manny is the definition of comedy, of course. He’ll lift his head up in the darkest of situations and is always by Michael’s side. Neither of them knows it, but deep down they are as close as brothers, Manny only being second to baseball for Michael.
Mr. Terupt Falls Again
By Rob Buyea
I thought this was a decent book, but the first book: "Because of Mr. Terupt" is much better. So Peter, Lexie, Danielle, Jeffrey, Jessica, Anna, and Luke are back with Mr. Terupt for 6th grade. Peter: His mom and dad are "forcing" him to go "Riverway" a private school where his dad, grandpa, and brother went to, but Peter doesn't want go go. Lexie: Starts hanging out with some bad high schoolers who make her do some wrong choices. She also wants to be older and impress boys. Danielle: Knows her family is not telling her something important that is worrying them. Jeffrey: Finds a baby when walking to school one day. Jessica: finds important information about Mr. Terupt's past. Anna: Learns about her dad she never knew. Luke: becomes a "detective"...makes a lot of observations and asks a lot of questions.
