Just because a story makes you crazy and tries to break your heart, doesn’t mean it’s not worth reading. That’s all I’ll say on my end because I don’t want to give too much away. In the end, I wanted to hate this book. But it affected me too much to give it a poor review.
Author: AuthorMeganCox
M. M. (Megan) Cox is a professional writer who published the Teen Mobster Series with Bluewood Publishing. If you’ve ever wanted to try laughing while biting your fingernails, you should read her books.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif
The two Percy Jackson movies didn’t do this series justice. They tried to take a cool, YA approach that defied what made this book (and series) so popular in the first place. The voice! Percy is fun and sarcastic, and the new TV series captures that. But the book captures it even better. 🙂
The Prince and the Apocalypse
This fun twist on a romantic comedy is worth the read. College-bound Wren Wheeler has had a pretty miserable vacation to London, mostly because everything didn’t go according to plan, AND she had a falling out with her best friend. But when a fake kiss with the British heir to the throne and a chaotic chase keep her from making her flight home to Chicago, Wren’s world comes crashing down–with an impending comet.
Scorpio Races
This is a story about a race, a romance, and a resilient girl, but it is so much more. Never has magical realism felt so authentic. Get ready for the ride of your life on horses that are truly fierce and sometimes frightening.
The Chance to Fly
We all need a book that breaks boundaries, and this is one that you will love. When Nat Beacon has a chance to try out for Wicked, she doesn’t let her wheelchair get in her way. Whether you love musical theater or cheering for a character with plenty of resolve, this story will touch your heart.
The Lemonade War
Sibling rivalry takes a heated twist in this classic story about a brother and sister in a battle to make the most from their lemonade sales. Family dynamics, friendship, and fun math—yes, fun math–all drive this story to an intriguing end.
My Lady Jane
Whether you love paranormal or historical fiction, this book will be your jam. It is absolutely mad, but it is also one of my most favorite things I’ve read in a while. I happen to love (be obsessed with) Tudor England, and Lady Jane Gray in particular, so this book was a treat.
City of Ghosts
For middle grade, the balance between scary and not-too-scary is difficult to perfect, and Schwab does a great job giving kids the creeps without completely creeping them out
Tiny Pretty Things
This series interested me because I’m a former competitive figure skater who has a deep knowledge of the fierce atmosphere created by females vying for the top position–a world where you must be both strong and beautiful (and encouraged to take measures to “look” a certain way).
Star Girl
Star Girl is different. And that’s a good thing. Here’s why readers and writers might give it a whirl.
Inheritance Games
The Inheritance Games is a story that goes far beyond a nice girl getting rich. We can only dream what it must be like to inherit billions of dollars from someone we don’t know. But Barnes does a great job showing us just how complicated such a situation might be.
Restart
What happens when a school bully gets a second chance? When Chase Ambrose falls off a roof and gets amnesia, he’ll have to start over. But will he be able to come to terms with the type of person he was before his accident? Will his new friends in the video club ever really accept him?
