Meanwhile in Protectorate there is a boy prepared to be a elder, leader of the town, but he has too much questions so the elders decide they will have to “do away with him”. But the oldest elder has a heart for this boy...Now because of fake stories about the “witch” or Xan, the kind boy plans on killing Xan for supposedly “stealing” babies when she is only protecting them from sorrow.

Meanwhile Luna’s magic evolves making her having sudden outbursts of magic.

She feels the need to protect Xan so she followers her dear Grandmama on a journey without her knowing and her two friends Gerth and Fydrian on her heels in search of her. Her “mad” mother is also searching for her lost, sacrificed daughter, Luna. She know the real witch and is out about to stop her from feeding on people’s sorrow. An epic story where paths cross defining truth from lie.
The Hate U Give
By Angie Thomas
Josiah McGhee Laura Cook Writing 1-5 11, May 2022 The praise I give The hate u give is a book written by Angie Thomas. The genre of this book is realistic fiction. The main characters are Starr and Khalil. During this book Starr has to face the grand jury against a police officer, and the decision of the jury shocks everyone. Some topics here are racial discrimination and racism and general. A quote from this book is “ what’s the point of having a voice if you’re gonna be silent when you shouldn’t have” This shows how Starr was really broken by this case and had no words. I would give this book a 5/5 because I loved every second I was reading it.
The Call of the Wild
By Jack London
I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+
The Pepper Party Picks the Perfect Pet (The Pepper Party #1)
By Jay Cooper
This is another amazing book from the Pepper Party series that readers will love. In this book, pets are not allowed in their home, but one daughter convinces them to get a pet after she falls in love with an animal from the pet adoption center. One setback is that she does not get to pick the pet she wants, the rest of the family gets to. So with so many arguments, will everybody be happy with the pet one person chooses, or will the argument continue forever?
The Puppy Place #22: Bella
By Ellen Miles

A Good Horse: Book Two of the Horses of Oak Valley Ranch
By Jane Smiley
I'm done with the book. At the beginning it was pretty good but if your looking for a really good mystery, this is not the book you want to get. Abby’s father had bought a stolen horse without knowing. Later a Secret Agency comes requesting it. Yet she has died already, but she did produce a colt that they named Jake. They may have to give up Jake, who is the horse that pulls at Abby’s heart. Yet, I think a lot of it is about Black George. He is a horse that is famous for doing jumping courses with Abbey. Not really the kind of mystery I was looking for but overall it was a good book.
