Book recommendations
Since I am an avid book nerd, (and extremely bored), I have decided to grace you with my recommendations for books to read. :) I will organize it by genre since idk.. I'll put how hard I think it is for people who want to read easy stuff or are learning english. (Easy : elementary school, medium : middle school, hard : high school) (wow it's alliterative) :)
Fantasy
- Harry Potter, by JK Rowling. Sure hope you've heard of it. Go read it. It's famous for a reason. (Medium)
- Percy Jackson, by Rick Riordan. This series too, is rather famous. All famous books are famous for a reason. (Medium)
- The Snow Spider by Jenny Nimmo. This is the first in a trilogy, about a boy, Gwyn, who learns he is a magician. It's really good. Also, short. (Easy)
- Middleworld, by Voelkel. It's basically a rip off of Percy Jackson but with Mayan mythology. It's not bad though. (bonus: very little romance !) (Medium)
Sci-fi
- Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. It's the first book in a super huge universe, but it can be read alone. It's about a war between humans and aliens. The government is training kids to lead the army. Ender is one of the kids, and he is the best. It's really, really good, and totally worth the billion pages that it is. (Hard)
- HIVE, by Mark Walden. It's another series. It's about a group of teens who go to a school, the Higher Institute of Villainous Education (HIVE). It's really good and funny. It's a lot like Harry Potter. (Medium)
- Alex Rider, by Anthony Horowitz. This is yet another series (I like series, can you tell?), about Alex Rider, a 14 year old who becomes a spy, and his pretty terrifying adventures. (Medium)
- TimeRiders, by Alex Scarrow. A series about three teens with a time machine whose job it is to stop people from changing the past. It's actually really good, although sometimes kinda boring. (Hard)
Some easy books :)
- Wayside School, by Louis Sachar. These were my favorite books in elementary school, and are still some of my favorite today. They are about Wayside School, a school which instead of having 30 rooms on one floor, instead was built with thirty floors of one room. It's completely hilarious. (Easy)
- Floors by Patrick Carman. Another of my favorites in elementary school. It's a story about the Whippet Hotel, a super wacky hotel with lots of cool gadgets and rooms and things and man it's just so fun :) (Easy).
- Encyclopedia Brown. These books are just collections of short stories about Encyclopedia Brown as he solves mysteries. It's cool because it puts all the answers at the back of the book, so you can try to solve them yourself before checking the answer. (Or, be like me and give up immediately.. :/) (Easy)
- Boxcar Children. These books are about these five kids as they go on adventures and solve mysteries. They are really short and easy. (bonus: don't have to be read in order at all. And there's like 150 of them so you could spend your entire life reading 100 page mystery stories.) (Easy)
