Legend of the Ghost Dog

I couldn't put down Legend of the Ghost Dog. The cover looks a bit scary, but it will not give you nightmares. It is about a family who go to Nome, and the girl meets another girl who lives in Nome. They see a ghost dog, and try to find out about it. They succeed! I love this book and can't wait to read more from the author.

The Cup and the Crown

I was so lucky to find The Cup and the Crown! I had read the first book, The Silver Bowl, last year as an ARC and loved it. This book was just as amazing. I wouldn’t read it if I hadn’t read the first one, though. The book continues the story of Molly, a young girl with mysterious powers, as she and her friends try to find a Loving Cup made by her grandfather. There’s a lot of magic and mystery in this book, so it’s great for it you like fantasy. I would totally recommend it!

Linnea in Monet's Garden

Linnea in Monet's Garden is about Linnea, a girl who went to Paris with her neighbor. She likes pictures by Monet so they went to Paris to see his garden and paintings. If you read this book, you can learn about France and Monet. This book has some French words that kids may have trouble reading or understanding.

Tilly's Moonlight Garden

Tilly's Moonlight Garden is a wonderful book for kids who enjoy quiet and mysterious books. I thought it was interesting to feel how Tilly felt moving house to a place where she had no friends. Tilly somehow makes friends with a pregnant fox. Meanwhile, she worries about whether her mother can have a baby without getting sick. Most of the book was about Tilly playing in the garden, and I wanted to be there with her. The garden was big with lots of life in it, and during the winter it seemed very nice, with hills to sled down.

The Cloak Society

In The Cloak Society, the main character, Alex, must decide what's right. He was born in the Cloak Society, a group of people who have super human powers and use them for evil. Alex starts to question if it's really right to stay in the group that he's in  - with all of his friends, relatives, and his parents - or to join the Rangers, a group of superheroes. He saves the life of a girl in the Rangers and starts secretly meeting her.  

Meanwhile, the Cloak Society is planning to attack the Rangers using a secret weapon. Who's side should he on? He is running out of time. The attack will happen soon! This exciting story really makes you think about the book, the characters, and what's happening.

The Six Crowns: The Ice Gate of Spyre

If you like adventure with a bit of magic, you should try The Ice Gate of Spyre. The whole story takes place in the Sundered Lands, which is basically a bunch of islands floating in the sky. The book starts as the main characters, different animals, are sailing through the Sundered Lands on their way to the 4th crown.  This is the fourth book in the series, so you should read the other three too.
