Wonder

Wonder

By R. J. Palacio

Wonder by R.J. Palacio is about a boy named August (but they call him "Auggie"). He has a facial deformity which means his face looks deformed and it's his first year going to school because he's always done homeschool. When he started 5th grade he made 2 friends: Summer Dawson and Jack Will. There's another boy who is named Julian but he is very mean to Auggie. In this book, Auggie has to face the tragedies that happen in 5th grade but also has fun and funny moments. I personally love this book because it teaches kids to be kind no matter what the person looks like. I would definitely recommend this book to all 5th-6th graders.

Wish

Wish

By Barbara O'Connor

I read this in 4th grade and I absolutely fell in love with it. The characters, the emotions, and... everything really. It's an amazing book and it teaches so many great lessons. If you are very emotional it'll probably make you cry. Most of what get from the book is love. From the moment when I opened it until the I finished the book made me feel like I wanted to love everybody in the world with all my heart. It made feel so warm that I still rember to this day, as a 7th grader, how good it felt. I recommend this book to any 9–11-year-old and I hope you learn all the lessons you can from it.

The Truth About Stacey: Full-Color Edition (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #2)

The Truth About Stacey: Full-Color Edition (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #2)

By Ann M. Martin

The Truth about Stacey is a change compared to the first book, because now the author mainly focuses about Stacey. Ann talks about how Stacey has to adjust from moving and her diabetes. This book is quite influential to many readers, especially the ones who share the same feelings as Stacey. This book teaches readers to be more independent and believe in yourself. I think that this book is good, and I learned a lot from this. I recommend this book for kids aged 8-13.

Keeper of the Lost Cities

Keeper of the Lost Cities

By Shannon Messenger

Keeper of the Lost Cities was an especially exciting book to read. Shannon Messenger has successfully created a whole new world for the readers to explore. Sophie Foster, the main character is a role model for readers and even when she faces a lot of challenges she never gives up, easily inspiring many readers. This is by far the most interesting series I have ever read. Shannon Messenger has had to make many small details for the whole Elvin world to really fall together, and lots of readers appreciate that. The Elvin world, the adventure, and Sophie and her friends are all incredibly amazing and the whole book overall is nice and easy to read. Yes, there are a lot of plots and it may seem confusing to read at first, but Shannon managed to make everything make sense at the end. I highly recommend this book for readers aged 10-14.
