The graphic novel Cardboard, by Doug TenNapel, is very captivating and inspiring, and it is by far my favorite book. Why? Because of its interesting plot, and its moral. The book is about a boy who gets a cardboard box for his birthday, but it's not just any cardboard box. When something is made from the cardboard, it comes to life! When the boy's neighbor, Marcus, gets ahold of the cardboard, many different things happen. The book is so interesting, and no matter what page you are on, you always want to know what happens next. This is also my favorite book, because the characters are very humorous, and easy to get attached to. Especially the cardboard boxer, Bill. You might have read this book already, but it is still one of my favorites.

My favorite book is called “Wonder” by Raquel J. Palacio. This book is a page turner! It just touched my heart when I read it. This novel is about a boy named Auggie Pullman who was born with a facial deformity. It was hard for him to make friends who he could trust, but he somehow got through the school year. Some people didn’t even bother to say hi to him in the hallways. He suffered a lot in school but he had someone called Will, a true friend that made him feel like he belonged. Auggie was a target for bullies, but he didn’t let that change who he was. This is such a heart-touching book, that no one could even describe what Auggie had to suffer. I loved all the parts of this novel and I wouldn’t change a thing. Remember, "Beautiful has nothing to do with looks. It's how you are as a person and how you make others feel about themselves." - Torin Rush.

My favorite book is The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone. I enjoy this book because it is very inspiring and meaningful. The main character, Maddie had plans to spend the summer alongside her best friends, Lizzie, Remy and Abby. However Maddie's grandmother, Astrid O’Neil drops two bombshells. One of these two problems is that her grandmother is dying of Pancreatic cancer.  The other problem is that grandmother is taking the whole family on the Wishwell, an eight-week, world wide cruise. However through all of this, Maddie knows she is on the edge to losing her grandmother. Her grandmother has taught her many life lessons, these she would never forget. Also these lessons teach the reader a very strong lesson that can apply to everyone.

Wonder by R.J. Palacio is the best book ever written. It is a very well written and heartwarming story. The novel is about a young boy named Auggie Pullman. When Auggie was born he had facial deformity. Because of the way he looked it prevented him from going to public school with the other kids in his neighborhood. By the time Auggie reached the fifth grade, his parents decided it was time for him to go to school. If being the new kid wasn’t already hard enough, Auggie had to deal with a school schedule, bullies and trustworthy and untrustworthy friends. It was very difficult for Auggie to feel like he had a place in this world. The book teaches an amazing lesson to people, about how you should judge a book by its cover or in this case, a boy by his face. The book takes you on the adventures of Auggie Pullman and follow him as he conquers the obstacles coming his way. Since the release of Wonder there has been two more books written, 365 Days of Wonder and Auggie and Me . Also, th...

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is my all time favorite book.  It is creative, interesting, and it makes you think.  The book is all about about 16 nieces and nephews of the late Sam Westing who were all living in the same building.  Throughout the story there are a series of strange events that always leave you on a cliffhanger.  From the beginning of the book, you need to piece together what the story line is about and follow each character for the big reveal at the end of the story.  I like this book because the ending was unpredictable.  For most stories I am able to predict the way it is going to end which is really boring, but the Westing Game is different.  The ending was perfect and unpredictable.  If you are looking for an amazing mystery book, The Westing Game is just right.

My favorite book is “Wonder” by Raquel J. Palacio. If you have never heard of this book, it is about a boy named Auggie who has had numerous surgeries on his face because he has a facial deformity. This book was written so well, you are seeing the perspective of a kid who doesn't have many friends and was home schooled all his life. Now, at 10 years old Aggie is taking his first steps into the real world and going to public school. This book takes you through all of the laughs, tears, smiles, and bad times this boy faces thought out the fifth grade. They have made a sequel to this book called “Auggie And Me” which is just “ Wonder” continued. On November 17, 2017, they are coming out with Wonder The Movie because the book was so popular. It teaches a lesson, don't judge a book by its cover because what’s inside is beautiful.

The book Wonder by R.J. Palacio is one of my favorite books because it shows the readers what it’s like to be different and to also to never judge someone by what they look like or if they’re different or not. The author also tells the readers to judge someone by what’s on the inside. Wonder also has a lot of exciting twists and turns and always leaves you on cliffhanger. This book is fun to read, but also has some sad parts to it, but overall it is a really great book. If you’re looking for a fiction book that’s really interesting, then Wonder is the book for you.

Holes is my favorite book. It's about a kid named Stanley Yelnats, and he gets "arrested" for stealing something from a charity, but really when he goes to his "jail" which is a camp where you are forced to find treasure for someone. I like the book because it has many genres in one book, action, nervousness (It makes you nervous), and more. Holes is a great book.

I love the book QB1 by Mike Lupica, it's a page turner. It shows how the main character Jake Cullen is just as equal as everyone else. He needs to fight for what he wants he can’t just get it because of his father Troy Cullen NFL quarterback and his brother Wyatt Cullen who led his team to the state championship. Jake isn’t what we call so popular or a winner. He doesn’t believe that he can be as good as his father and his brother. This book taught me opportunities don’t get handed on a silver platter you have to put in the work, follow your dreams, and never give up.

If I to choose one book that was my favorite book it would be Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I chose this book because it is funny, an adventure, a cliffhanger, and it sucks you in making you want to read more and more. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover really connect on a second level and they make you want to read more and more. There are also a lot of cliffhangers and action like when they were in the underworld and they had to save Percy's mother. There is also a lot of comedy that is mixed into the book. Overall with the comedy, the adventure, and the cliffhangers The Lightning Thief is a really amazing book.

My favorite book is Beast's With No Nation. The book about a kid in Africa who is in the middle of the civil war there and has to fight in war. I liked the book because i like learning about different places and learning how it is different from where I life. It's very interesting because in America we don't have kids fighting in the street and then houses blowing up. So it is interesting to see their lifestyle and the way they live.

One book I really liked was Wonder by R.J. Palacio .  It is about a boy who has a facial deformity who struggles to make and keep friends. I liked the book because it tells you to not judge the book you its cover. If I where you I would read it. 

Star in the Forest is about an eleven year-old girl named Zitally who's dad got deported back to Mexico because they were illegal immigrants.

But then, something tragic happens and the girls need to take action, fast!  I truly adore this book because it reminds me of the bond I had with my dog that was also named Star. This book is also special to me because a close friend gave it to me, knowing that my dog's name is St...

 My favorite book is Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics by Chris Grabenstein. This book is a puzzle and mystery solving book. This book teaches you all about different types of puzzles and even about different types of books. Kyle and his friends a created a group in the last book and now they have to compete again for another prize. The Library Olympics is basically a book Olympics and the more medals you get the more of a chance you have to win. Another thing is this Olympics is not just local there are people that are coming all around the United States to compete in the puzzle solving competition. This book was a very good book and it also taught me things about puzzle solving and different book genres. Overall this book was an amazing book.

My favorite book is the Hunger Games. It's about Katniss Everdeen and her journey to the Hunger Games. It has many twists and turns and has many unexpected parts. This is my favorite book because it has a lot of action and it made you want to keep reading

Escape from Mr Lemencello's library by Chris Grabenstein is my favorite book because it makes me want to keep reading. This book is a page turner. I really like the book because it's funny and it's so interesting. It's about 12 kids who have never had a library in the town Alexandersville, Ohio then they go to the library for a library lock in but it seems to turn into an escape room at a library. I would rate it 5/5. In october there's gonna be the third book of the series. I'm so excited.

In my opinion, I think the Amulet book series is the best. The books are about mythical things like talking animals and elves. It's also about a girl and her brother moving into their great grandpas old house. In the house they find special amulet. From then on they have 8 books worth of journeys. Action, drama and mystery. The three elements to make a perfect book. Yes, it might sound weird but I highly recommend this book and the series.  (P.S it's a graphic novel.)

If I had to pick the favorite book it would be Wonder. Wonder is a book that sucks you in to it and leaves you wanting to read more and more and more. The book really conects to your feelings and teaches you lessons such as dont judge a book by its cover and not to treat someone by the way they look. Parts of the book can be funny, sad and happy but overall Wonder is an unreal read.

It is one of my favorite because it has so many changes of emotion and can catch you off guard. I love the book and I recommend it to you. It is about a kid named Auggie that gets made fun of at school because of the way he looks.

Cardboard was my favorite book so far because there were no words.

My favorite book is A Monster Calls because I liked the movie and the book. I guess it was pretty good.
