Lord of the Flies is about a group of boys that get stuck on an island. They try to make rules and pick leaders, but they can't seem to maintain that structure. They start turning on each other and turning into savages. It shows how kids act when there's no grown-ups around and how people change when they are away from civilization.

Winds of Change is a graphic novel, an extra that is part of the Warriors book series. This book explains the reason why Mudclaw, Deputy of Windclan, when everyone first reached the lake, tried to make himself the leader of Windclan after Tallstar died. It starts out with the Clans reaching the Lake, causing Tallstar, the leader of Windclan, who was getting old, to get tired. He died shortly afterward, and Firestar, leader of Thunderclan, said he was with him when he died.

Defy the Night is a very intriguing novel that is about a world that is grappling with a very deadly disease. This book follows the story of Tessa, a brave girl who is trying to help her townspeople. During this journey, Tessa must steal from the crown to get the disease cure and while doing this she discovers many secrets about the crown that completely change her view of the world that she is living in. I loved this story because the plot keeps you on your toes the entire time.

This book is the 3rd edition to the Max and the Midknights series, and has not left me disappointed! This book has new characters, more humor and lots of action! Another reason why I love this book is because it answered a lot of my questions from the previous books, and I felt very satisfied after finishing the book. I would definitely recommend this book to people who are just looking for a good action or thriller book!

Max and the Midknights: Battle of the Bodkins is the second book in the series, this time with evil doppelgangers, even more magic, and tons of humor. This book is definitely one of my favorite books, because this book checks off all the good qualities a good book should have- action, humor, friendships, romance, and mystery! Another reason that I love this book so much is that it also incorporates little illustrations throughout the book, and even changes to a comic sometimes!
