Colonial America: An Interactive History Adventure (You Choose: Historical Eras)
By Allison Lassieur
This book was fine, and the first story path I chose was the life of an indentured slave. My favorite one of the series (I read the entire series) is probably the ninja one.

Escape to Gold Mountain: A Graphic History of the Chinese in North America
By David H.T. Wong
I didn't know all this happened in the past. A scary history told in a cool graphic novel. I finished the book in a day but had to read it over again to understand it more. Good way to learn history.
The Diviners
By Libba Bray
The Diviners is a very good story set in 1926 New York. A girl named Evie is sent to New York City after an unfortunate altercation in her hometown of Zenith, Ohio. She is a big fan of cities, and is ecstatic to get there. However, she is sent to live with her uncle who has an obsession with anything paranormal. Evie herself has an unnatural gift which she must hide. During this, a murderer called the Pentacle Killer is ravaging New York, killing citizens in gruesome ways. Evie finds out that her gift may be the very thing that can save her new home. I loved this story. It is very well-written and identical to what it would be like to live in 1926 New York. The overall plot is mature, so I would give it 7th grade and up. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this, and I am engrossed in Lair of Dreams (the second book in the series).
Soldier Bear
By Bibi Dumon Tak
Really good book about the true story of Voytek, a Soldier Bear in World War 2. He is also Private Voytek. He really knows how to hide from Kaska the monkey! ( Hides face behind hands) It is really sad when Kaska's baby dies and she leaves.
