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. 

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

Walk Two Moons is an unbearably sad but extremely inspiring story of a 13-year-old girl named Salamanca Tree Hiddle. She goes on a journey, from moving to a small Ohio town, meeting the most peculiar Phoebe Winterbottom, discovering who the real lunatic is, going on a road trip on time, and discovering where her mother actually is.

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.

Theodore Boone: Kid Laywer

Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer” is about 13 year old Theo who wants to become what his parents are, lawyers, and he accidently ends up in the middle of one of the most important murder trial cases of all time. He also helps out kids at school who have problems that contain the law for free.

This Savage Song by V.E. Schwab

This Savage Song” by V.E. Schwab is a dystopian fantasy book set in a world run by two factions who each control different species of monsters. The story focuses on their children, August and Kate, and their desires to prove themselves to their fathers. While tasked to kidnap Kate, August befriends her and has to keep his nature as a monster a secret.

Heartstopper #1 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper is a beautiful story of gay panic and romance. The main story, of course, is the romance of the two main characters: Nick and Charlie. The multiple side character romantic subplots and reflections on the difficulties of high school and the prevalence of homophobia tie it all together.

Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs

Ink Blood Sister Scribe is about magical books, and those who can write magical books. Filled with minute twists and turns, this page turner leaves the reader on the edge of their seat. However, the romantic subplots in this story are forced and mechanical, this is definitely not a book to read for the romance or character development.

Restart by Gordon Korman

A boy named Chase ends up in the hospital after falling off his roof. He has to learn his whole life over again starting with his own name. He even forgot that he used to be a bully. Chase learned his lesson to not be a bully because he saw how it hurt people. For example, he noticed that this one kid was always afraid of him. 

I really liked the action in Chase’s life. Also, I liked the characters.

A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab

A Conjuring of Light” is the final book in V.E. Schwab’s fantasy trilogy. It takes place immediately after the last book ended and goes back to the normal fantasy plot with a strong and compelling villain. This book puts more focus on Holland than the other books did, but Schwab still keeps all the great characters and their histories.

A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

A Gathering of Shadows'' is the second book in V.E. Schwab’s fantasy trilogy. It takes place a short time after the first book ends and focuses on the upcoming Elemental Games. It is a spectacular view into the thorough world that Schwab set up in the first part without all the action that would distract the reader from the finer details.
