Emily Windsnap
By: Liz Kessler
I would recommend the book Emily Windsnap. It is about a 12 year old girl in 7th grade named Emily. it was her first day of swim class she was scared because her mom never let her go swimming that day she finds out… she is a MERMAID. Oh by the way she has no dad she finds out her dad is a merman and her mom is human. In the mermaid world there is the king named Neptune. He said that no one can marry humans if they do the will be put to jail. But her parents stayed together later Neptune finds out her dad got put in jail but before he got put in jail… they had Emily so to find out what happens next read the book.
Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder
I would recommend the book Doctor Procter’s Fart Powder. This book is funny and adventurous, outrageous, and full of suspense. If you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid you will like Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder.
Iraine the brave
By Cornella Funke
I would recommend a book called Iraine the Brave because it is mysterious and adventurous at the same time. It is about a girl named Iraine who dreams of becoming a famous knight. But today as usual is boring! Until his greedy cousin Osmund has got a plan to capture the Pimpernel Castle and steal the magical books that belong to Iraine’s mom and dad. The books have spells. Good and bad. There’s one spell that can turn him into king and everyone will have to do what he says! It’s up to Iraine to save the day!
I would recommend Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It is an adventure fantasy book where a boy named Harry potter must defeat the evil lord Voldemort. The only difference from a hand fight is that they are both wizards. This incredible novel by J.K. Rowling is a book worth looking at. If you don’t read it you’ll regret it.
The second book I recommend is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Harry’s time to defeat lord Voldemort is running out. Professor Dumbledore has no choice but to teach Harry himself. Harry must learn about Voldemort’s past to end his future. Will Harry defeat Voldemort in time? Or is he just on an endless road to his loss
I would recommend us reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It is a fantasy book written by J.K Rowling. The book is about a boy named Harry Potter who must defeat the dreaded lord Voldemort. They are both wizards(one good, one bad) with dangerous twin wands. This marvelous last conclusion is one book you’ll never forget.
I would recommend a book called “The Tale of Despereaux” it has action and a bit of suspense. It is written by Kate Dicamillo. The story when a mouse (named Despereaux) get sent to the dungeon in a kings castle meet a rat in the dungeon who what to see light and wants to get revenge on a princess Despereaux is in love with. And now Despereaux is on a quest to save the princess.
Gabe
I would recommend When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead to a friend. It is a great book because the author puts the events in a very interesting way. The book is about a girl that receives notes from an unknown source. The notes make her think that it’s too late to prevent a tragic death. This is a great book because it makes you wonder what is going to happen next.
Dragon Heir
I would recommend The Dragon Heir because it is about wizards. This book is a series. It is about a war between two groups. One team is the red rose the other group is the white rose, and the last big group is the rebels. Dragon Heir is full of excitements. That is why I would recommend Dragon heir.
I recommend that you should read the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. The genre is a fantasy, adventure, and fiction. It is about this orphan who whose mom and dad was killed by a very, very evil wizard. Now the orphan, whose name is Harry potter now has a lightening scar on his forehead, On his adventures, he become a powerful wizard and learned how to play a wizard sport he want to have his revenge on the evil wizard because of what he did to his parents, relative, and friends. In the end after seven years, he defeats the evil wizard that had the most powerful wand in the world. This is why I recommend our class should read the Harry Potter series. (It has seven books. One for each year and adventures.)
Throne of fire by Rick Riordan
Throne of fire is a great book because there is Egyptian mythology and constant action. It urges you to keep on reading the book. I recommend you to read the book if you either like mythology or action books with mild violence. In the last chapter Desjardins the strongest magician in the world faced off with the mighty nemesis of the sun god Ra, Aphophis. Desjardins covered himself with harsh lightning and shot thunderbolts out of his hand at Aphophis and trapped the giant evil snake into a clay shabti. Again, I highly recommend you to read this book!
Eragon
By: Christopher Paolini
Adventure/Fantasy
Eragon is about a boy named Eragon. One day, Eragon finds what he thinks is a rock. Little does he know that this “rock” will lead him on a journey against Raz’ac, dragons, soldiers, mages, and Galbatorix, the evil king. Read Eragon and get started on an amazing series!
This is a great book to read because there is an abundance of action and comedy.
Recommend a Book
I would recommend this book called Shakespeare’s Secret by Elise Broach. It is a fiction mystery that is about a new kid in town and she’s named Hero and she’s named after a character in one of Shakespeare’s plays. There’s supposed to be a diamond hidden in her new house and Danny Cordova, only the most popular kid in school, seems interested in helping Hero figure out the mystery! Read this fantastic novel by Elise Broach to find out!
I recommend the book The Boys Return by Phillys Reynolds Naylor. The genre is mystery and adventure. This story is about three girls and nine boys that try to catch a cougar. If you want to read this book you should first read the books in order. You see, this book is part of a series.

The four boys play a prank on the three girls to get them to move back to Ohio. Instead, the girls play a prank on the boys. Just then the war began.
I would recommend a book called The Wish Stealers. It is by Tracy Trivas. The genre is fiction. It is a good book because it is about wishes and believing yourself.
The story is about a girl named Griffin Penshine. Her mom is pregnant. They walk into their neighbor’s shop to pick up some things he ordered for her mom. The storekeeper’s great-aunt Mariah comes into the shop. She gives Griffin a “lucky” penny. Mariah gives her a box of polishing cloths, but in it is actually a lot more pennies. They were from when she was a worker from an inn. She stole pennies from the water fountain in front of the inn. People wished on those pennies. Griffin finds out that if she returns a wish, one of her wishes comes true. She returns all of them at the end.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
By Jeff Kinney Fiction
I think Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a good book for kids because a lot of people I know and I love it. It’s about a boy named Greg. He wanted a journal but his mom gets him a diary instead of a journal. His brother finds out that he’s writing in a diary and calls him a sissy. Much more happens. Read more to find out! It’s also a bestseller!
