Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
This book in my opinion is on e of the best books ever. The thing that is intriguing about this book is that the author makes everything sound so real. Sometimes, I get mixed up with the book and reality. I would recommend this book to everyone if I could.

School! Adventures at the Harvey N. Middle School by Kat eMcMullen
At Ron Faster's School everyone ha a funny name. His classmates are Viola Fuzz, Dewey Haveto, Ivanna Snack, Izzy Normal, Gladys Friday, AbbyBirthday, Anita Dawg, and Sid Down. The teachers are Miss Ingashoe, Mrs Roxanne Pebbles, Mr. Hughes Da Mann, Mrs. Petzgalore, and they all stay true to their names at Harvey N. Trouble School. I would recommend this book to 2nd through 4th graders.
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
Just Listen is a terrific book about a girl named Annabel Green. When she models, she looks like she has friends and a perfect life but actually, she lost her friends in an event that she tries to hide and her sister has an eating disorder that brings conflict to her family. Meeting a boy named Owen who is harshly truthful helps bring her life back on track. I recommend this book to teens who like a happy ending.

Ruby Holler by Sharon Creech
Dallas and Florida are orphans that live in the Boxton Creek Home for children, an orphanage run by the terrible couple. One day, they are adopted by an odd older couple who want to take Dallas and Florida with them on adventures. Dallas and Florida have learned to expect the worst from foster families, but they find that the older couple isn't so bad. This book is great because a lot of unexpected things happen. This book is a book everyone will enjoy, especially kids!

The Loser List by Holly Kowitt
The Loser List is about a kid named Danny who gets his name on the "Loser List". Girls start to tease him and he will do anything to get his name off the list. The Loser List is a funny, enjoyable book to read about a boy, school, and friends. I would recommend this book to kids from 3rd grade through middle school.
