Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
If you like reading adventure or survival fiction, this is the book for you! If you despise intense word visualizations, you can ignore this. Although I really enjoyed this book, it actually is super intense.

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Westing Game is a weirdly captivating cozy mystery/page turner.
This book is so clever, with bombs, bookies, burglars, 16 heirs, and most of all: dead(or is he?) Samuel W. Westing and his will. This is so fun because of the action!
5 out of 5 stars.
