Student picks
I really like A Wrinkle in Time because it’s action filled, funny and very amusing. I recommend a wrinkle in time too anyone because it’s and amazing book to just sit down and start reading.
I would definitely recommend The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. It is a tale full of monsters, misfortune, adventure and friendship. The lightning Thief is a relatable story including a lot of Greek mythology and it is definitely worth the read. I highly recommend it to all readers.
