A fabulously scary read, and a great addition to the Miss Peregrine books.

Turtles All the Way Down

Turtles All the Way Down

By John Green

Aza Holmes has never been in or sought out the limelight. She lives in an ordinary world in ordinary Indiana in ordinary modern-day America. The only thing hindering her is her thoughts: her germaphobia, her constant mental battles, her desperation. Other than that, she has never been of public interest. But when best friend Daisy urges Aza to visit Davis Pickett, a childhood friend, after a scandal about his billionaire fugitive father Russell Pickett, Aza's life is about to be changed forever. After years in the shadows, her life is suddenly thrust into insanity between juggling a reinforced friendship and maybe more with Davis, accused negligence from Daisy, trying to find her morales, anti-socialness caving in on her, and her ever-spiraling fears. A heartbreaking story about change, fear, and love, "Turtles All the Way Down" by the brilliant John Green cannot be prevented from being in the limelight of fans for generations.

Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March

Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March

By Lynda Blackmon Lowery

I chose this book because it teaches others how it was when it was in the 1960. , u didn't know how it was back then. I would recommend this book for kids 3rd grade and higher due to the language they used to colored people and some chapters that are not good for kids 3rd grade and up.

Anne of Avonlea (Second Book in the Anne of Green Gables Series.)

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.

I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 (I Survived #17)

By Lauren Tarshis

This book is about a girl who goes with her grandpa and brother to a cabin in Glacier National Park. She was going to put their campfire out and go in after her grandpa and brother. She put the fire out and was about to head in when she heard a low growl. She turned and saw a tall, skinny grizzly. She backed away slowly until she got into the cabin. She got in and relaxed; she looked out the door and saw the grizzly there on the porch. (I won’t give anymore details on that to keep it a surprise) Later, she finds herself face-to-face with another angry grizzly.

The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg (Newbery Honor Book)

The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg (Newbery Honor Book)

By Rodman Philbrick

I liked how I could picture the characters in my head. The author was able to give great details to the reader and it helped my imagination. The story was action-packed and very enjoyable. I listened to the audiobook while following the story in my paperback book. This made the book more exciting because the audiobook used different voices.
