Beyond the Grave (39 Clues Series) by Jude Watson

Betrayed and abandoned, Amy and Dan rush off to Egypt with a small clue. But when they arrive, they get something completely unexpected- a message from their dead grandmother, Grace. Is that help or betrayal? I think this was a good book. It is appropriate for all ages.

The Wizard of Rondo by Emily Rodda

In Mimi and Leo's second adventure into the mysterious musical box and the magical world, Rondo, they immediately encounter problems with a wizards apprentice and meet with some old friends. The five go on a journey to find out about a missing wizard. Obstacles along the way include a disobedient carpet, a too loyal pot, and the "S-word" which is a monster too fierce and old to imagine. I would advise 5th to 8th graders to read this!

Closer by Roderick Gordon

The book is about a boy named Will Burrows who finds an underground city called the Colony. Will would lose family members to the terrible Styx and the tortured. I recommend people who love top secret missions to read this book. The book should appeal to ages 11 and up.

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.

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.
