Mockingbird is a story about a young girl who has Aspergers, a type of autism. Her brother just died in a school shooting that devastated the small town. The story is about her having to fight through these two challenges. I felt like this book goes deep into everyone who reads it's emotions because it makes you realize how lucky you are. I recommend this book to people 3rd grade and up. This book will blow you away because it comes from a point of view you would never expect .

Max by James Patterson A-
Max is an action-packed adventure about kids who have . . . wings! Maximum Ride (also known as Max) is the leader, followed by Fang, Angel, Total (a flying dog) and the rest of the flock. Of course this seems straight-forward, but would you believe me if I said there was chaos in every chapter, enemies on each page and romance throughout the book? I think Max is a little bit of everything. It's like a never-ending ride of adventure: a star in the morning. I recommend this book for fifth-grade through high school aged kids. But remember to read the four books that begin the flock's adventures: The Angel Experiment, Schools's Out Forever, Saving the World, and The Final Warning.

Forest Born A+
by Shannon Hale
Forest Born is an amazing story. Shannon Hale's words are magical. I found myself relating to feelings I had never felt before. It made me feel in the story with the characters.
Warning:Read the the other books in the series before Forest Born(The Goose Girl, Enna Burning,and River Secrets.)
Synopsis
Rinna grew up with seven brothers. She learned from all of them, but especially Razo. Once she decided to go to the city with him. When she goes, she gets a job as the queen's lady-in-waiting and gets used to watching the little prince, Tusken. When the king gets burned by fire speakers, Dasha, Ani, and Enna go to find them. Rin follows.
In this book it is important to understand emotions. You must know why they feel pain and why they feel relief. I recommend this for kids 10-16 years old. It will leave a powerful impression on everyone who reads it.

One Crazy Summer
One Crazy Summer
By: Rita Williams-Garcia. B+
One Crazy summer is about three girls who find their mother who had abandoned them at a young age. It is a heartwarming book about sisterhood and motherhood. This book takes place in a time where colored men and women were not completely accepted. In this generation, most events in the book would not have happened. This book by Rita Williams-Garcia is a story you will not forget. This book is great for mostly girls in grades 3rd-6th but some boys might like it, too. You can easily find this book at a library near you. I love how much inspiration this book leaves.
