Ghost by Jason Reynolds is a fiction book. It is about the main character, Ghost (his real name is Castle), and his life as a runner. When he joins the track team, Ghost makes many new friends, but he must make many sacrifices to fit in and control his anger. I think that this book is very entertaining and I would definitely recommend it. It makes you want to keep on reading until you finish the book. This is the first book in Track series by Jason Reynolds and I am planning to read the others too!

Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass is a very intimate book, it is about a girl named Mia, who has a condition called synesthesia, and nobody, not even her own mother belives her and this results in a series of very interesting events. This book teaches you a very good lesson about life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction or just wants a fun sort of relatable book to read.

I like this book because it showed how bonds can change but everything will still be alright. It was a little easy for me to read.

Starfish by Lisa Fipps is a fiction poem book. The book is about the main character, Ellie, getting bullied by her friends, strangers, and even her own family just because of her weight. Ellie just wantes people to see her inside self, not just her looks. She must fight and gain courage to stand up for herself. Luckily, she isn't alone. Even though this book was a poem book (and I usually don't like poem books) I really enjoyed reading it. I think that many people who get bullied or don't get seen as their true selves would gain courage that they are not alone after reading the book.

The Burning Maze is a book where Lester / Apollo journeys on a adventure across the third emperors fifty yachts to find the emperors Shoes that will guide them down into the labyrinth to try to find another oracle. Sadly Jason dies in that book . In my opinion the book was good, it had lots of mystery’s and when ever you stoped reading you would want to find out more.

"Beyond The Kingdoms" by Chris Colfer is the fourth book in the "Land Of Stories" series. When Alex and Conner Baliey realize that the Masked Man is their terrible Uncle Lloyd, he starts recruiting literary characters like the Wicked Witch Of The West, Captain Hook, and the Queen Of Hearts to form an army.

The Mysterious Benedict Society is a mystery and adventure fiction book. The book was about 4 children on a dangerous mission to save the world. The 4 children are all orphans with many talents. Their goal is to go to a certain boarding school and find out how and why Mr. Curtain (the antagonist of the story) is planning to control people's minds. This book was a fairly long book with approximately 500 pages and it was a little hard to understand in some parts. However, if you like mystery, then this book is so much fun and interesting.

It is very fun. Karen has a big fight with Nancy but then because of her enemy Pamela, she makes up with Nancy.

I love how in each escape room, there is a problem or conflict that the characters face to struggle. It is either with their friendship or just trying to get out of the room itself.
