The Land of Stories- Beyond the Kingdoms by Chris Colfer

The main idea of this book is mostly about Alex and Connor and all of their friends trying to stop the Masked-Man, their uncle, from creating an army of villains to defeat the Land of Stories! The negative parts of this book is when Alex can't control her emotions due to an evil spell. But, she manages to control her emotions and break free from the spell. I would recommend this book for 3rd graders and up, and for people who like the genre fantasy.

Space Case by Stuart Gibbs

This book is about Dash-Dash and his family (his sister Violet and parents who are both scientists), after they were convinced by NASA and the government that living on the moon base Alpha would be great. After a few months on the moon, he knew he had been tricked. The food was terrible (I mean who eats liver and onions? Bleh!) and they had to reuse everyday water by repurifying it. Dash-Dash couldn't think it would become worse, until it did. There was a murder and Dash-Dash needed to find out soon. I think this book would be great for grades 4-6.

Forest Born by Shannon Hale

I think the theme is to keep control of ourselves. This book says about some girls who can speak with fire, wind, and water. And they could control them too. The main character of this book, Rin, has an ability to talk with trees. But she cannot control them. Instead, the trees make her feel calm and quiet. Rin also has people-speaking, which lets whomever has that power to see through people's faces and see what they really think. And to command people and get what they want. Rin commanded when she was young and always got what she wanted, but the tree-speaking powers changed her. I recommend this book to someone who likes fantasy books. I recommend this book to everyone.

Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them by J. K. Rowling

A book related to the "Harry Potter" story. There's some information and facts about 'beasts.' And this book lists all the beasts known with its facts and where to find them. I recommend this book to someone who likes Harry Potter books, and who is in 6th grade and older.
