The Land of Stories: Beyond the Kingdoms
By Chris Colfer
Alex Bailey might just be going insane! Not only does she think her dead father is the masked man, but she is unconcerned about the kidnap pings of innocent children. She even attacked the Fairy council with raging flames! Or... So they say. The masked man just may be their father's brother who wants to take over the universe and be using a magical potion to make an army of the worst literary villains in existence! Whew! That was a long sentence. When they have to jump into every book to stop this army from forming, again, the fate of the world is in their hands. With the help of their ragtag group of friends, Robin Hood, King Arthur, And Peter Pan, will their luck prevail or will they be stuck in the words of a book... Forever?
Once Upon the End (Half Upon a Time)
By James Riley
If you haven't read Half Upon a Time and Twice upon a time, this story will NOT make any sense. But it is the most epic grande finale I have ever read.
Bad News (The Bad Books)
By Pseudonymous Bosch
I just finished a book called "Bad Luck" by Pseudonymous Bosch. The genre is fantasy because there are fantasy creatures in the book. I rated it " just right" on a scale of 1 to 5 of easy, going up to challenging. I think I would recommend this book for grades 4 to 6. I really liked this book, but it is the third in a series, so you should start with the first two which are really good too.
Anne of Avonlea (Second Book in the Anne of Green Gables Series.)
By L M Montgomery
This book... This book is such a beloved classic for such good reason. It was so full of imagery and brilliant plot that I was sad to reach the end. One thing I will say though, is that Avonlea seems just a little too perfect. Aside from the one disaster and some minor scrapes, everything happens so that life flows idylly. Other than that, the book was written splendidly with lots of care. Even though this book is suitable for readers of all ages, there are many profound quotes and little gems that may not be picked up by a younger crowd. It just refreshes and makes me happy every time I read an "Anne of" book because they're so wholesome and gracefully written. The author, L.M. Montgomery is a literary genius. I can't wait to follow Anne along on her journey.
The Contest Between the Sun and the Wind: An Aesop's Fable (Rise and Shine)

Fairest
By Marissa Meyer
I recently wrote a book review for the third book in the Lunar Chronicles, "Cress", and in that review I said that all the books in the Lunar Chronicles series were just as good, if not better, than the previous ones. I had spoke too soon, that statement does not apply to "Fairest." Just to clarify, "Fairest" is not part of the main Lunar Chronicles series, it is an add-on book/short story and it is read after "Cress" but before "Winter" so technically it is book 3.5. The main series is Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter, but Fairest is a book on the main villain, Lunar Queen Levana, and should be read as book 3.5. Now back to me saying that "Fairest" wasn't as good as the previous books, I would even say it is my least favorite book from this series. Now I know that since this is a book on a villain, I should expect it to be kind of dark and evil and I did, but not as much as it was. (Dun dun dun!) This book was still a wonderful read, and I think maybe I wasn't used to reading books about the evil people in the world, or in this case, the moon. Some people say that they don't want to read this book before the finale of the series, "Winter", because they are worried that they will feel bad for Levana. Let me tell you, even after reading this book, I still think that Levana is super evil and cruel. I guess that after reading her backstory in this book, I could say that some of her "evilness" is due to her childhood, which was pretty horrible, but Levana made some pretty bad decisions and you can't blame all of them on her upbringing. I haven't read "Winter", the last book in the series yet, but I'm pretty sure it is necessary to read Levana's backstory before "Winter" because Levana has a big part to play in the last book. "Fairest" was alright, but it put a big spot light on beauty, and that is because all Lunars have a special power called glamour, which is the ability to manipulate brain waves and make people see you different than you are. Levana uses her glamour all the time to make herself prettier than she is, because of what her sister did to her when they were younger. I didn't think it was possible, but Levana's sister is even more evil than Levana grew up to be. Levana also uses her glamour to make her childhood crush fall in love with her, forcing their marriage and dooming herself to a lifetime of forced and fake love. Being the reader of this book was kind of hard, because I could see all sorts of things that Levana didn't, due to her being figuratively blinded by using her glamour to force power and love on other people and herself. Overall, I would say that this is a pretty dark book since it is based on a villain, but I would still recommend it to teens who like the lunar chronicles, because it is necessary to read if you want to understand the last book of the Lunar Chronicles series. I hope this review was helpful!
