6th Grade
Prophecy - helpful to read Prophecy before Warrior (Warrior is on order!) enjoyable, little bit gory, little bit scary but hard to put down
Eon and Eona - has Chinese zodiac and other Asian mythology, another girl main character
The Borrowers - a classic, shows two sides to how people think
A Wrinkle in Time - confusing and random at first, but worth the effort by 3/4 of the way. makes a good audio book
The Mortal Instruments (read Infernal Devices - this is the prequel and amazing) Mortal Instruments not quite as good. has demons and magic.
Torn Away - a little tragic, girl's house gets blown away, divorce, etc.
14th Goldfish - not much about the goldfish, more a family drama
The Clique books - mean girls being mean with a lot of money
8th Grade
Prophecy
Red Madness - story about finding out what causes and how to prevent an illness. How does the disease spread? Early 1900's account. This disease impacted public policy. Includes gross pictures and primary accounts.
Champion - student thinks he can predict the ending, but is assured he can't
Code Name Verity - it's an enigma. Nazi occupied France in a German prison. Female British spy caught and imprisoned. While in prison, the spy is telling stories about her friend. If you have only read the beginning of the book you don't know what is happening yet.
James A Michener - he writes epics - often historical
Inheritance Cycle
7th Grade
Prophecy - liked the blend of ancient mythology, small of bits of romance, and action. Good details and descriptions. Liked the main character, Kira - she is different and defiant. Bit of a slow beginning, but book got better and faster pace as it progressed.
Tiger's Curse - romance, mythology, adventure.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - romance, fantasy,
West of the Moon - really good, fairy tale based,
Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy - fantasy, extraordinarily descriptive, main character keeps the mother alive through her thoughts (not literally),
