I would recommend the book The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen.
It’s a realistic fiction book about a girl named Jessica who is a runner. When a bus hits their team’s car, she loses one of her legs. Jessica thinks her life is over. Then she hears about prosthetics legs. Will Jessica ever be able to run again?
I recommend the book, The Name of This Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. It is a mysterious adventure. It is VERY mysterious, but it is an adventure. It is written in a very interesting way. The book is about a girl supposedly named “ass” and her partner “Max-Ernest.” The author says that those are not their real names, and he must keep them secret for “safety reasons.” Cass and Max-Ernest are normal kids who go to school. They somehow get involved into a war between two secret societies! The Midnight Sun and the Terces Society are fighting to the finish to find out “The Secret.” Read the book to find out what happens!
The name of this book is called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I recommend this book because I think it is funny and very interesting its one of those books that you think, I want to know what happens next. I read this book in 4th grade for a book report I decided to do it because I loved the movie I think you should read this book and watch the movie two.
I recommend you to read Rainforest by Andrew Langley. Rainforests is an awesome guide of the rainforests around the world. The book will take you on a journey through the layers of the forest, and you will meet unusual creatures. Colorful plants and rainforest people.
I recommend the whole Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Its magical!
I recommend the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J K Rowling. The genre is fantasy. It is about the adventures of Harry Potter at his school of magic.
I would recommend this book to read to everyone! The book is The Thief Lord By: Cornelia Funke. If you like a good fiction book you should read this book.
The book is about a couple of kids under the protection of the thief lord. Two of the kids Prosper and Bo are runaways so their Aunt Esther sends a detective after them Victor Getz, in which he finds their hideout. The kids have to steal an angel wing.

I recommend… A Dog’s Life

If you are a girl, I recommend the series, "Dear Dumb Diary,". The genre is Realistic Fiction. The author is Jim Benton. This series is mainly about Jamie, Isabella, and the "perfect" Angeline. At first, Isabella and Jamie both abhor Angeline because of her perfection, but they grow to be friends as the series goes on. It is a VERY VERY VERY hilarious and eventful series, and i really hope you read it! :D

This story is about a girl named Sophie who gets kidnapped by a friendly giant named the BFG(big friendly giant). The other giants are all big, hairy, mean, human –eating brutes. Sophie and the BFG work together to stop the other giants.

I reccomend the book, Candymakers, to everyone. It is about 4 kids entering a candy making contest. The first contestant is the candymakers son. The second contestant is a boy that is very secretive and is too serious about winning. The third is a girl pretending to be a cheery, bright, sunny person but is actually a spy. The fourth contestant is just a regular boy who is obsessed with the afterlife. They all come clean and become friends at the end. Everything worked out because someone mentioned somethijng about coffee.
I would reccomend the Series of Unfortunate Events. I think it is a well written series filled with excitement, adventure, mystery, and suspense. The only bad part about it is that when you start it, you want to finish it so much that you forget to do your homework and your parents get mad at you. The Series of Unfortunate Events will make you sit on the edge of your chair.
