I would totally reccomend it to anyone who longs for the ocean and adventures beyond imagination.
Gaia Girls: Enter The Earth

Gaia Girls: Enter the Earth is the first book is the Gaia Girls Series and is so fantastic and wondering. It is about a girl's fight to make sure that her farm isn't torn apart by machines to become a mall. This book inspires environmental stewardship, but overall it just inspires everything: bravery, kindness, perseverance and friendship. I would totally reccomend this book.
Stella by Starlight
By Sharon M. Draper
Stella by Starlight by Sharon M. Draper is about a girl named Stella and her journey as a young black girl in town inhabited by the KKK. She has to always be wary, on edge, and faces many hardships and unjust events. Throughout she remains strong and helps support her family through the tough times. I really liked reading this book even though it made me sad to think that this rascism still happens today. It made me wish that everyone could just accept each other and hold each other up like they do in this book. I would reccomend it to lovers of great historical fiction.

This book, based on a true story, takes place during the civil war, when a bunch of mill workers, young and old, are taken from a southern mill, and shipped of to Georgia. The main character, Hannalee, promised her mother she would return. And so we follow Hannalee on an amazing journey as she gets bound as a servant, escapes and flees to find her brother, Jem. together, Hannalee and Jem travel back to their home. This story was touching, and showed the unfair treatment of the mill workers taken from their homes, I found it very memorable.
Dumbo Live Action Novelization
By Kari Sutherland
I just watched this movie again recently. This book is based on the movies. It is very saddening but also joyful. The cartoon is sadly less known or talked about along with Pinocchio. This is the same thing for the live action and Cinderella live action .
West
By Edith Pattou
West by Edith Pattou is the second book that comes after the amazing East book. I really enjoyed both of these books and this one especially was just so untterly incredible! I loved the adventure, the courage that the main character, Rose, showed, the excitement, the love and the beauty of the whole story all together. I would totally recommend it to anyone who loves amazing stories about journies into the unknown!
West of the Moon
By Margi Preus
West of the Moon by Margi Preus is a really good book that is sort of a play on the folktale "East of the Sun, West of the Moon." It is about two girls who try to run away from their evil goatman master. It's really amazing and I really liked reading it. "I want to do what's right. But how can I, when I am faced with only impossible choices?” ― Margi Preus, West of the Moon
