Orphan Monster Spy

Orphan Monster Spy

By Matt Killeen

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about World War Two and the atomic bombs. Even if someone doesn’t enjoy war books, this is a fantastic book about prejudice and adventure that will leave readers thinking about it long after they’ve closed the book.

Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls: Moving Day

I love this book! Allie does not want to move and then she does because her old friends were really mean to her and then she stands up foe herself and she throws a cupcake in Brittany's face. Then she makes new friends at her new school. Rosemary, a bully who bullys Allie becomes Allie's friend. Then she has lots of other books also with awesome rules for girls to follow and she inspires girls also to make their own rules, I did. I think people should make a movie for this book!

Chalice

Chalice

By Robin McKinley

As the next Chalice, Mirasol SHOULD have been apprenticed to the last one, but it didn't happen. And she doesn't have an experienced Master to help her, either, due to the fire that killed him and his Chalice together. Instead, the new master is a former Priest of Fire, and well.... there are issues. The new master can burn something by the touch of a hand if he isn't careful. The problem is made worse by the fact that nobody except Mirasol trusts the new Master. Mirasol has to take on the difficult task of bringing unity to the demesne. Will she succeed, or will she make the problem worse? Like all of Robin McKinley's books, the world building is excellent. In my opinion, Spindle's End has better worldbuilding, but this book really incorporates it into the plot. I liked this book better than Spindle's end overall, though.
