The Mysterious Benedict Society

If you're ready for some adventure, dive right into this incredible book! From a girl with a bucket, to a boy who remembers almost everything, this book is a must read, with secrets, codes, tests, newspaper ads, and more, this is a book that seems long, but the adventure keeps you waiting to read more! It goes fast, you won't be able to resist reading it all! I loved it, and I hope you do to, because The Mysterious Benedict Society is waiting...

His Dark Materials by Phillip Pulman. The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spy Glass. A short time ago, a girl and her demon (a shape shifting part of herself) face obstacles and eventually work together with a boy to go through worlds. I highly recommend these books but I find it difficult to explain in a short summary.

For Young Adults

The Protecter of the Small Quartet by Tamora Pierce. A girl wants to become a knight but she must be on probation for a year. It's really cool because it has knights, squires, and pages. Check it out!
For Young Adults

The Inheritance Series. Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr by Christoper Paolini. A boy becomes a dragon rider when the egg hatches out of a stone/egg that appears in front of him. Filled with action, suspense, and magic. Loved it! (A high school boy wrote the series.)
