Wonder Woman: Warbringer, by Leigh Bardugo
I loved this Wonder Woman: Warbringer, by Leigh Bardugo, so much, it surprised me. I honestly did not think I would really enjoy it, but I was wrong. I did not know about the DC icons series, so I was very excited to hear about. My mind was blown! I definitely recommend this book to Superhero/Adventure lovers. Amazing book, 100%. There were so many different aspects and relations to the real world that makes the storyline even more perfect.

The Restribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin
The Restribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin, was the perfect conclusion to the Mara Dyer trilogy. I'm super sad that it's over, but I'm looking forward to checking out the Noah Shaw series. I was really excited when I found out about it. Honestly, I feel as if the books in the series all tied together perfectly, and the plot was spot on intriguing. I highly encourage those who read the other books to finish off the series with this last book. 'Till the Noah Shaw series! Reviewed by Anisa, Grade 8 Casa Verdugo Library |

The Witch Hunter, by Virginia Boecker
The Witch Hunter, by Virginia Boecker, is about 362 pages, which includes 31 chapters. It's a pretty long book to read and takes some hours. In overall, it is a fine book. Its audience is mostly teenagers and young adults, the main character is exactly like today's teenagers even though the story takes place in old times. I liked the book. It shows you how someone can be change by only seeing the other side of view. It teaches you that sometimes something might be so true and real to you, but only by taking a look out of how it is, you'd understand of how it does not seem right at all. In conclusion, I recommend this book to teenagers and young adults who are interested in adventure, magic, witches, power and a little bit of romance.

I think Endure, by Sara Larson, made an amazing end to this trilogy. Though I loved this book, there were many events I was upset about. But in all, I'm sure the lovers of the previous two books in the series will want to check out this final story. This book is an adventure/fantasy book for teens. I honestly think this book is the same story line (or similar) to the books by Sarah Mass, Victoria Aveyard, etc. Any lovers of those books should definitely read this series.

The Assassin's Curse, by Kevin Sands
In 17th century London, apothecaries apprentice Christopher Rowe gets invited to the King of England's party when an assassin puts poison in drinks and makes an assassin anion attempt on the King and multiple other nobles. Now Christopher, and his loyal friends Tom and Sally venture to France to get to the bottom of this mystery. While there they discover new friends and enemies and also find a path of clues that leads them to one of the most valuable treasures found yet. The Assassin's Curse, by Kevin Sands, is an exciting mystery novel and the third in the Christopher Rowe's adventures. I would recommend this book to anybody who loves mysteries and action books. Also anybody who has read the other books in the series should definitely read this one. What I liked about this book is that it combines real history with fiction and makes it seem like a true story at the same time. It also has many unexpected twists and turns and dead ends. But the clues mean that you can guess along and figure out the clues too. Reviewed by TJ, Grade 8 Montrose |

Prospero's Children, by Jan Siegel
This book at first was pretty interesting. At the very beginning, the story was written so well and strongly. However, it wasn't like this when I continued reading it. For me, events happened so slowly and I almost got so bored and tired while reading it. The problem is, it takes a long time for an exciting scene to happen and surprise the reader. However, some may have other opinions and find this book interesting. Prosper's Children is suitable for teenagers and maybe young adults, but mostly for teenagers since the main characters are about 15 and 16 years old. At the beginning, it made me so excited and interested in what will happen at the end, but as I read more and more, I got really tired and bored and I even stopped reading the rest of it! However, this does not make this book to be a bad and boring one. Reviewed by Orkideh, Grade 12 Downtown Central Library |

Not only are the new characters wonderful, they prove to be very surprising. In the book Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse, by Rick Riordan, especially, we get some great character moments where we find out truly shocking facts about them-things that you only realize were obvious after they happen. I do wish Bianca and Zoe, along with the other hunters, got more character development. They definitely don’t get enough time for us to appreciate them; just long enough so you become emotionally attached.

The story is actually very interesting, it takes the real world beard game Go, and implements real life strategies, rules, and trivia on the game which has sparked global interest in it. This manga is a great story if you want to relax and read while learning something new, even if you don't put that much effort into learning it you will still passively learn through the events of the story. It is a semi realistic manga with the only real fantasy related element being the ghost of Sai guiding Hikaru, that sheds some light on a game not many know about in the US while giving us likable characters as you watch them grow and excel.

Prince of Persia: The Graphic Novel, by A.B. Sina is about 190 pages, but that does not mean it is boring. This one is so interesting instead. Each event has been illustrated with details. However, it might get confusing sometimes if you don't really pay attention to what's happening. The story itself, is such a unique one and is really different from other stories we've ever known. New culture, names and places are what you have to expect from it. However, it doesn't mean that it would be confusing for you to understand because how everything is arranged would make sense to you, as the reader. For me, I liked everything about this graphic novel, but sometimes when I wasn't really paying attention, it got confusing and I was really lost. But, that didn't stop me from reading the rest of it because the story gets you to read more and more without getting bored or exhausted. I believe this would be amazing for young adults and teenagers who are in love with old times stories, it is one of the bests to read if you are looking for something different.

The six book in the “Brotherband Chronicles” follows the Herons on
a journey to a whole new land. Hal, Stig, Thorn, and the rest of the herons get
swept far away from Scandia and into the Endless Ocean by a freak storm while
on a routine trip. Tossed around the rolling waves, a leak in one of the two
water barrels makes a bad situation worse. The brotherband reaches land, but
it’s nation or land that they know of. After saving two native children from a
fearsome bear, Hal and his crew make friends with the tribe whose children they
had protected. They then learn of the Ghostfaces, a fearsome tribe of raiders
who haven’t been seen for years, are on the move again, and the Herons’ friends
are a target. The clock is ticking, and group prepares to defend their new
friends.
I think that The Ghostfaces, by John Flanagan, is a solid read, and a great addition to
the series. There are a lot of twists and turns, with danger always around the
corner. One aspect of the book is the emotional roller coaster that is Stig’s
personal adventure with a young native woman who captures his heart. This is a
view that hasn’t really been fleshed out in a Brotherband book, and it brings a
lot of depth to the characters. The Ghostfaces is one of my favorite novels in
the Brotherband saga to date, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has
enjoyed any of the other of John Flanagan’s books.
