Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. (Rick Riordan)

Life is going pretty well for Percy Jackson, considering the fact that he's a son of Poseidon, god of the sea, who is constantly being attacked by monsters. He's doing alright at school, despite the fact that he's ADHD and dyslexic, and he even has a friend named Tyson. It's the last day of school, and he's quite excited to go to camp half-blood, the only safe place for demigods. But, as luck would have it, he and Tyson are attacked by some really bad monsters, and Percy's mom doesn't think percy should go to camp half blood. Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth go there anyways, only to find tat the protective barrier is failing and the camp is constantly under attack. Also, Percy's best friend Grover is missing. The three friends depart on a quest to find the only item that can save camp half-blood,  which both Percy and Tyson are related to, and to save Grover. Meanwhile, Kronos is rising, along with an army of monsters and demigods. This is a great second book in the series, and you'll be meeting monsters and Gods left and right. This is most likely my favourite book in the series.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book One: The Lightning Thief. (Rick Riordan)

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I've calmed down. Twelve year old Percy Jackson has been kicked out of his sixth boarding school in six years. He's going to miss the latin teacher and his friend grover during summer holidays.

He never knew his real father, and his mom says he was lost at sea. Not dead, just lost. His stepfather Gabriel (AKA stinky Gabe) is a jerk to him, which is normal, and him and his mother go to the beach, which is also normal. What is not normal is that he killed his pre algebra teacher earlier in the year, and now everyone is acting like she never existed. The other not normal thing is the freak storm that comes in the middle of the night, and the fact that grover is there, but he isn't wearing pants. Where his feet should be are two cloven hooves, and his legs are covered in fur. Turns out Grover is a Satyr, and Percy's world turns upside down. His latin teacher is a centaur, the counsellor at his new camp is the god of wine, and the greek gods are real. This is an amazing book, the first in a series, and the books get better as the series progresses. I liked this book so much that I bought it!

    

Ribblestrop (Andy Mulligan)

Ribblestrop, Ribblestrop, precious unto me, this is what I dream about and where I want to be. That is the school song for Ribblestrop towers, a brand new school in a very old house, with not very many students, only one of them a girl, all of the residents a little bit crazy. Throw in a crazy landlord, soccer, robots, donkeys, monks, secret tunnels, a ghost, and a mad scientist, and you have a perfect recipie for disaster. This book was boring to start off, but last night I couldn't sleep I was so excited. My favourite parts were the ones with the orphans. This has a bit of a gristly side to it, so if you have a weak stomach, stay far away. Life is dangerous!

The Goodfellow Chronicles, Book One: The Sacred Seal (J.C. Mills)

This book was AWESOME! It's all about a 10 year old boy who moves to New England so his parent's can open up an art gallery. On his first night he sees a talking mouse, who is actually - ---- --- ----- Jolly Goodfellow --- -- --- ----- ---. Sorry about the -----ing but if I said anything instead of ----,
 it would be an extreme spoiler. Anyways, Mr. Goodfellow helps Sam (the 10 year old) with a lot and tells him an extremely captivating story about his nephew Edgar. There's also something called the Hawthorne scroll and the Sacred Seal involved. The Sacred Seal isn't the animal kind of seal. It's the keeping things closed kind of seal.

Mister Max and the Book Of Kings (Cynthia Voigt)

Great book. I read the first two in the series before this one came out, and found out I needed to wait until fall, and forgot three weeks later. This was in 2013. I spotted it at chapters and thought "I need to read that." I was not disappointed. Max has discovered where his parents are being held captive. The problem is, he doesn't know how to rescue them. I couldn't believe his plan. I highly recommend this book.

Connect the Stars (Marisa de los Santos and David Teague)

Definitely in my top fifty, which is saying a lot. I loved this book. From two seventh graders perspectives, a boy with a photographic memory and a girl who can tell whenever anyone lies. They both get sent to a wilderness camp as "memory boy" and someone who doesn't trust her fellow human beings, and come out completely different.

Dogsong (Gary Paulsen)

Amazing book, about an inuit boy who goes out into the arctic tundra with a pack of sled dogs to discover his song. I loved this book. The boy, Russel, doesn't like how people are living, so he goes back to living the old way.

Boy (Roald Dahl)

Awsome book! All about Dahls childhood, and lots of him being hit by a cane. It's really fun finding out about the inspiration for his books. Like the mouse incident at the candy store that inspired "Witches" and him testing chocolates for a chocolate factory that inspired "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
