 * Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis**

This book is about a young orphan boy named Bud who takes off on a journey to find his father, who he thinks is a jazz musician. He has a wild imagination and finds himself in all kinds of situations that will lead him to his father. I thought it was a great book and would recommend it.


 * The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan**

I really enjoyed this book. It is about a boy named Percy Jackson who happens to be the son of Poseidon. He goes on a journey across the United States to find the master bolt of Zeus before World War III starts. He and his friends find himself in all kinds of suspenseful situations. This book kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through it. Great book to read if you like Greek mythology.

Peter Nimble is about a young boy who has his eyes pecked out by a raven at a young age. He is an orphan who is picked up by Mr. Seamus, who is a ruthless person that makes Peter go and steal for him giving Peter very little in return. Out on a night of pick pocketing, Peter stumbles across a box that has 3 pair of magical eyes that leads Peter on a new journey with each set. The eyes lead him to a lost kingdom which is being ruled by a brain washing king. There were many twists and turns in the book and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book. There are also clues throughout the book to guide in the journey, and at the end of the book, it all comes together. In the book, there are moments of sadness, laughter, battles, and excitement.
 * Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes by Jonathon Auxier**

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys using their imagination and loves excitement!


 * The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan**

It was an awesome book, and I am addicted to the Percy Jackson books. Percy and Annabeth to a quest to go and save their friend Grover in the Sea of Monsters. Grover was held captive by a Cyclops and through my exciting situations, twists, and turns they finally save him. The ending of the book leaves the reader wanting to read the next one because of the surprise ending!

I would definitely recommend this book!


 * The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan**

I am currently reading this book and will let you know how it is!!


 * Fearless by Eric Blehm**

This book was amazing. It is written about a Navy SEAL named Adam Brown. Adam was a star athlete at Lake Hamilton High School in Arkansas, and after graduation, he veered down the wrong path and found himself surrounded by the wrong people. Adam changes his life and becomes an Elite Navy SEAL. A story about courage and overcoming adversity in life. He went from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs. Highly recommended and will teach valuable life lessons!
