Sunny by Jason Reynolds is a realistic fiction. The book is mainly about Sunny and his life on and outside of track. Sunny was one of the best long-distance runners on the track team but didn't enjoy running anymore so he decided to try the discus instead. This book is the third book in the track series and was written as a diary. Personally, I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because it focused more on Sunny's thoughts than what actually happened.

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!

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.

"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 fairy tale world has to survive Lloyd's attack again after being weakend by the Grande Armee! But, Conner has a plan of his own to defeat all the villains.

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.

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.
