Daniel X: Game Over is the last book of the Daniel X series. Daniel X is about a boy who is an alien hunter. Daniel has a special list that tells him which aliens are super bad or not as much. Daniel has to fight two of the strangest aliens on the planet. I recommend this book for 10 to 13 year olds.

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech
Thirteen-year-old Salamanca was traveling from Ohio to Idaho with her grandparents because her mother left but did not return. During the trip, she told her grandparents a story about her friend "Phoebe's" mother" missing and the "lunatic" she met. During the trip to Idaho wither her grandparents, Salamanca felt an urgency to make it to Idaho on time for her mother's birthday. This superb novel has a wonderful plot with mysterious sad, and hilarious scenes.

Will they be able to manage it? The chances are unlikely even though Otto is a genius, Laura is an extraordinary hacker, Wing knows Karate and Shelby is the best thief in the world.

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
I could honestly say that this book is one of the best I have ever read. New technology has made up something horrible, the Iron Fey. It is destroying Nevernever, the homeland to the faeries. Only Meghan Chase half human daughter of the Summer King, can stop them. I recommend this book to 6th graders plus. It's a must read book. :)
