Phantom Tollbooth
By Norton Juster
The Phantom Tollbooth is about a kid named Milo who is always bored. This book uses play on words and teaches you about words and numbers while having fun. This book is in my favorites because it teaches and entertains at the same time! I would recommend this book to kids in grades four to five because it contains some complicated words. This book has everything I love, humor, fun learning and most importantly a captivating story line.

Harry Potter, a regular 11 years old boy or at least he thought he was. His famous appearance was a scar which was shaped as a lighting bolt. For past whole of his life, he lived with Muggles (regular people without any magic, also means mortals); Uncle Veron and Aunt Petunia along with their son, Dudley Dursely but they made Harry's life miserable. Until Harry received a letter from a witch and wizardry school, Hogwarts and quickly discovered about his parents and their deaths and how he gotten his scar. He met and made friends for first time and made enemies (no surprise!). This is really amazing book and I truly loved it so much! - Happy Reading!

Warriors: Into the Wild
By Erin Hunter
In Warriors, the main character initially goes by the name "Rusty," a house cat who later joins ThunderClan and receives the name "Firepaw." As he grows, he eventually becomes "Fireheart," ultimately becoming a warrior of the clan. Transitioning from a house cat to a clan warrior is incredibly challenging for him, as he often faces criticism for being a pet and living with "twolegs" (humans). Warriors showcases the character's growth and adventures. Rusty's journey highlights the importance of courage. The clan cats’ harmonious way of living with nature makes me reflect on how humans are currently harming the natural environment, leading to climate change and various forms of pollution, reminding us not to destroy nature. In to the wild is also one of my favorite stories. I watched how Fireheart and his friends overcame challenges together and how loyalty and courage tested their friendships. My favorite scene is when Firepaw helps Yellowfang wholeheartedly, causing others to think he has betrayed ThunderClan, only for them to later realize that Yellowfang is actually kind-hearted and genuinely cares about ThunderClan.
