The Glass Swallow is a great, exciting book that’s different from other books I’ve read. It’s about friendship, change, and people of different classes coming together as a more equal city. Overall I enjoyed reading The Glass Swallow, even though the ending was a bit predictable. I recommend this book to anyone who likes well written, interesting books with believable characters.
A YearWithout Autumn is definitely a page-turner and I highly recommend it! This book starts where twelve-year-old best friends, Jenni and Autumn, are at a summer time-share where they go during the last week of August with their families every year.

When she’s in the future, she sees that there is a tragic accident that has happened to Autumn’s family. Will she be able to go back to the present and keep the accident from happening, or is the accident fate that is bound to happen? Read this book to find out!
Around the World is a thrilling graphic novel about three daring adventures by people with one goal, to go around the world using everything from boats to bicycles. People who like graphic novels and exploring will certainly enjoy this book.
After reading the first two books in the Maze Runner Trilogy, I was looking forward to The Death Cure, the final book of series. Starting right where it left off in the previous book, Thomas is in a room being held there by WICKED. WICKED has collected all the data possible from the trials and are going to use the remaining Gladers for the ultimate test: to create the cure for the Flare. They will restore the Gladers' memories and have agreed not to lie anymore. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action, adventure, or books about dystopian societies.
The Apothecary is about a girl named Janie who moves to London from Los Angeles in 1952 because of her parents’ beliefs. There she meets Benjamin Burrows, an apothecary’s son. Later, Benjamin and Janie witness Benjamin’s dad get kidnapped. They then try to track him down using a special apothecary book and the help of friends. The book allows them to become invisible and turn into birds. When Benjamin and Janie do find the apothecary, they get involved in a plot that the apothecary is trying to stop. I would recommend this book to all my friends.
When Danny moves to Colorado he is expecting to go snowboarding and chill, maybe mope a little about leaving all of his friends. What he is not expecting is to be caught up in a terrible race of time, trying to find a serial killer before it starts killing humans. But sometimes people don’t like to be found, and in Danny’s search he finds that almost everybody has a skeleton in their closet. Very fast-paced and fun, I enjoyed Deviant greatly and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
