Been reading this summer and have some books I recommend reading! 1. Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, This is an amazing series that is full of adventure! 2. DragonWatch (also by Brandon Mull), This is the next series to Fablehaven! 3. Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. 4. The Doll People by Ann. M Martin and Laura Godwin, This book is the story of what would happen if dolls could come to life. 5. The 39 Clues by Rick Riordian and many other authors is a great series about a clue hunt that is full of suspense and adventure on every page! 6. And finally is The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordian! Let me know if you have suggestions for books to read as well!!!

Thank you very much for the suggestions! I luv Ann M. Martin's Babysitter's Club, so I'll check out number 4. I would strongly suggest Disney's Twisted Tale series!!
