The Secret Life of Copernicus H. Stringfellow

Very funny, exciting, and a good plot. My great uncle wrote it, he signed it, and he told me there will be a sequel where the main character battles Bigfoot. Everyone will love this book!
A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird)
By Claudia Gray
This book has a beautiful cover and a cool subject for its plot. I won't go any further into detail as I don't want to spoil anything, but I really liked it! However, I don't think that younger kids (as in 6th grade and younger) should read this book because there is one scene in here that is not appropriate. It's a good read, though!
Merci Suárez Changes Gears
By Meg Medina
A heartwarming story...beautiful, well written, and a great representation of real life. You will immediately fall in love with this book! Merci Suárez doesn’t live in a giant mansion. Neither does she own every latest item or fashion trend. Instead, she lives with her large family in a small house called Las Casitas, and attends a fancy private school only because of her scholarship. Unlike all the other girls at Seaward Pines Academy, Merci isn’t rich...and that’s always made it harder for her to fit in. But sixth grade is more different than she thought it would be...because it could take a turn for the worse at any moment. The most popular girl at Seaward Pines, Edna Santos, is trying to get in between other people’s friendships—and that includes Merci. And that’s not the worst part. Lately, her grandfather has been behaving with a different attitude, being forgetful and vague. She doesn’t know what happened to him...but the answer is scary. Merci’s life comes crashing down, as her world turns into a place of oblivion and strangeness. Her family is struggling more than ever. Can she help them? Read this book to find out!

Taming the Star Runner (Cascades)
By S.E. Hinton
I had high hopes for this book after reading Hinton's The Outsiders, while it didn't meet my expectations, it was still a good read. Taming The Star Runner follows Travis Harris, a hardened, popular city boy from Tulsa- with a soft spot for writing, but when he comes home to find his abusive stepfather cramming his writing in the fireplace, the hot-tempered Travis knows that he has gone too far, and attacks him. Later, when released from Juvie, he is placed in the custody of his Uncle Ken, who lives in the outskirts of rural Tulsa, longing for his home, Travis hates life in the country, laughed at and ignored for his tough attitude and looks, he is alone- his personality that was revered in his home town has become his downfall. When he is introduced to Casey, one of the riding instructors at ken's ranch he is facinated- bolder and braver than any girl he's known and intent on taming the Star Runner, the wildest, meanest, and most striking horse in the barn.

The Shadow Throne (Ascendance Trilogy)
By Jennifer A. Nielsen
A great book with a lot of twists and turns that leads you on a rollercoaster ride where you don't know what's happening half of the time (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). King Jaron is at war. All the surrounding countries want his land and his wealth, but he will give them his life to stop them. An excellent book that feels like it fixes up all the things that felt uncomfortable in the previous book. Though the book is stationary in this genre it still is an excellent book. Though it feels a bit forced at times, still an awesome book.

Letters From The Heart (Beacon Street Girls #3) (Beacon Street Girls (Paperback Unnumbered))
By Annie Bryant
Beacon Street Girls is a series where a group of girls, the newest of their friend group they met on the first day, each facing their own type of personal struggle. These books are definitely good for kids, as they might relate to something each of the characters faces. The illustrations are positively cute , and the cover sparked my interest when I saw it. Overal, this book is definitely a good read and teaches great lessons!
