Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson
Just like Max told me, I will tell you. Ax is a girl who, okay, has wings. Her five friends live with her. But, when one of them gets kidnapped, Max has to save the day. She leaves two friends at home, but they blow up the house. Max got shot in the wing and went to a girl named Ella’s house. Max recovered, they found Angel, and guess what, I am not finished yet! They go to the Big Apple to learn about their past. Max kills her brother, who is an Eraser (not part of the flock), and Jeb says Max has to save the world. Then the book ends when the flock go out to find their folks. To learn more, you have to read the rest of the series. And that ends my report (sponsored by Toyota). I would recommend this book to anyone because it is awesome! My cousin told me about it and I loved it. He told me and I liked it, and hopefully you will like it, too.

Each Little Bird that Sings by Deborah Wiles
This book is about a girl named Comfort Snowberger. She is quite an explorer, a recipe tester, and a funeral reporter. Writing about dead people is a strange thing for a young girl, but Comfort grew up in a funeral home, so she’s used to death. At least she thinks she is, until her great aunty dies and then everything comes crashing down for Comfort. Her best friend she thought she could always trust turns on her. All Comfort wants to do is sit in a closet and hide. I would recommend this book to people who really like stories with meaning. It can be really difficult to shine at times.

Zorgamazoo by Robert Paul Weston
The Zorgles are missing from Zorgamazoo and Morty was chosen to find them. When Morty starts his journey, he meets a girl named Katrina Katrill, who ran away from her mean auntie who was trying to operate on her brain. Morty decides to take Katrina to help him on his quest. Together, they find Zorgamazoo when. . . Sorry, I can’t tell. You will just have to read the book! I would recommend this book to another student because it is a really good book. It is really easy to read this book. It’s full of rhymes and silly looking words which make it really fun to read.
