The His Dark Materials Series by Pillip Pullman
The Trilogy of His Dark Materials consists of the three books: The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. This amazing series is an epic account of Lyra and Will, two ordinary kids on a huge adventure.
The first book is in Lyra's world, a world exactly like Earth, except everyone has a dæmon, a separate part of them in the form of an animal. Lyra starts out as a girl of battle, often in battle with other groups of children. This all changes when she saves her uncle, Lord Asriel from poison, and mysterious "Gobblers" are stealing children.
The second book begins with Will, in our world, who takes care of his mother, as she seems slightly insane and Will's father is missing. When Will discovers a window to another world, he meets Lyra.
The third book is jumping between multiple worlds as an inter-dimensional war breaks out between Lord Asriel and The Authority. Lyra is captured and Will meets two angels who help him get Lyra back. Polar bears, witches, and troops of rebel angels all participate in this epic story of great truths and discoveries.
Any fan of the Hunger Games will love this classic fantasy series. This trilogy tells an engaging story while going over themes of human essence and nature.

The fourth stall
The Fourth Stall may sound interesting with offices in bathrooms at a middle school but it was so boring that I couldn't even finish the book. I didn't feel connected to the characters. It didn't describe why they even wanted to run a business to help friends.It didn't talk about the school they go to. The book was recommended by a Scholastic book store worker but I don't recommend it.
42 Jackie robinson (Ronan)
42 is about the first African American baseball player. It talks about how Jackie Robinson started in an all African American baseball league and goes all the way to the Brooklyn Dodgers. It also shows what Robinson had to deal with from the media and his teammates. The book also describes how he had to overcome challenges such as getting kicked off a plane so someone of another race could sit there. I would recommend this book if you are a baseball fan and enjoy a deep book.
Ronan, Vanishing Acts
In the book Vanishing Acts, the main character Madison has too figure out 2 mysteries. The first one her best friend Ann is missing and is nowhere to be found at school. Ann even didn't show up at soccer practice. The second mystery is trying to solve a murder trial that her dad is trying to solve. How do you think she can do all that work and focus on soccer? I would recommend this book because it's about overcoming challenges and that just because you're a kid doesn't mean you can't do big things.

the cabinet of wonders
The cabinet of wonders, by Marie Rutkoski, is a fascinating magical adventure about a young girl named Petra who's father has a magical talent. He can move metal with his eyes! This enables him to make amazing mechanical devices. Because of his talent, a prince orders Petra's father to construct a clock that can control the weather. But when Petra's father is almost done, the prince steals his eyes. Petra goes to the castle in hopes of getting back her fathers eyes and destroying the clock before the prince did anybody any harm with it.
I loved this book and I think anyone who appreciates a good book will as well. I recommend it to anyone who likes to read adventure stories with a twist of magic.
