The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger

Tommy and his classmates make a case file with adventures all about Origami Yoda and his creator Dwight. Yoda gives amazing advice to most of the sixth grade.  This book is an exciting, funny, and amazing book. One of my favorite parts of this book / case file is there are little comments by Harvey and Tommy.  I recommend this book to ages eight and up.

Kiki Strike: Inside the Shadow City by Kirsten Miller

This book is one of my favorites.  One of the themes is friendship and bands.  The six Irregulars: Kiki, Ananka, Oona, Betty, Luz, and Deedee, share a bond as friends that is not easily broken.  The girls are all incredibly different, but they form an indestructible team when joined.  I really liked this book because of the clever uses of humor and the amazing storyline.  I would recommend this book to kids 4th grade and up, preferably girls, but also boys.

Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix

This book is sort of a mystery theme, as well as sci-fi. The main characters are in constant danger, making this action-packed story a very interesting read. There are currently four books in the Missing series. I recommend this book and its series of books to anyone who loves mystery and time travel and who is from 10 to 15 years old.
