The Stories of Your Life and Others By Ted Chiang

# data[].attributes.body
This book was actually one book full of multiple short stories, in which Ted Chiang wrote. There were stories such as The Story of Your Life which is the book that inspired the movie Arrival. Another story the book includes are  Understand, Hell is the Absence of God, Division By Zero, and more. My favorite short story was Understand, which reminded me of Planet of the Apes but a human that becomes smarter by a large margin

The Fault in our Stars is an amazing book with comedy, sadness, love, anger, and more. It really shows how life is, unlike those impossibly unreal fairytales.
This book is in the perspective of Hazel Grace Lancaster, who has cancer and fluids in her lungs. She thought that no one would love her, until she met Augustus Waters. They were very happy together when a tragedy hit: Augustus had cancer. He hid the secret well away from Hazel and once she found out, he went quickly.
Although it is the #1 Fiction Book for Time Magazine, I consider this as something realistic. Someone in this world has faced a similar problem, and that is what I like about this book.

The Girl I Used To Be is a book about a girl named Ariel Benson who changed her name to Olivia Reinhart because of a dark past. But, that isn't the point of the story.
In this mystery book that I read for the Reading Without Walls challenge, I had chills as I read and tried to analyze who exactly killed Ariel Benson's parents. Once I found out the truth about why Stephen Spaulding, the killer, killed her parents was truly heartwrenching. I love this book because it gives so much adrenalin and build-up as you read it.

Pendragon wasn't my favorite book of all time, but it still was action-packed and enjoyable. This book isn't the first book, but I read it anyway without any background information. I think that I was still able to get the point and I understood it pretty well.
This book is about a boy named Bobby Pendragon and he is on the search for his enemy, Saint Dane. He runs into a territory called Veelox, but there was no damage done yet by Saint Dane. The reason was that Veelox was deserted, and all the citizens have been dreaming this whole time. Literally.

I loved this book so much! I think that it was a bit boring at first, but once Jacob entered the realm of the peculiar, it was much more fun. This book was a bit different from the movie, which I liked. I think that the book was better than the movie, however.

The Outsiders is a class book that we read in ELA, and it was a book like none other. I don't normally read books of this genre, and I think it was great. This is about a friend "gang" called Greasers. Throughout the book they learn a lot from their mistakes and that being different from others doesn't change a thing about their choices.

# data[].attributes.body
I reread this WONDERful book, and it is just so inspiring in many aspects and I am so excited for the new movie for this book. This book is about a boy named August Pullman, who was born with a unique face. It took multiple surgeries to get to his look, and he still isn't normal-looking. Auggie then goes to school for the first time, and he sees the true meaning of friendship, hatred, and love.

This was an autobiography of the author when he was just 12 years old and the time of his life where he had the craziest summer.
Jack was an ordinary kid with somewhat of an ordinary life until he almost shot himself in the head. He was grounded, and his only escape from his prison called his room was to help the next door neighbor, who wrote obituaries and she was a bit insane when it came to her loyalty to Eleanor Roosevelt.
This book was amazing because I think this was a great book to get away from all of those fantasy books I read!

The last book, The Fever Code, made everything make so much more sense to me from the previous books. I learned that Wicked was the one that created the Flare in the first place and pretended to be heroes to get a cure, and that Deedee is actually Teresa, Thomas's friend. Thomas goes through many procedures to become a Wicked member, and then he had to join the Maze with his other friends.

This is the prologue to the book, 13 years before the Maze Trial and the Scorch Trial. This is in Mark's perspective and this is when the sun flares, which caused the whole virus situation, came and melted people like crayons. Then, mysterious people created the mysterious virus: the Flare. People were wiped out fast, and they left these crazed people called the Cranks. Mark meets an immune girl, Deedee, who is immune to the Flare.
This made the whole series take a sharp turn, since I started making inferences about what could be a certain possiblility.

The Little Prince By Antoine De Saint-Exupery

# data[].attributes.body
The Little Prince is a book about a man who told his story of meeting a young boy, nicknamed the Little Prince. I enjoyed the amount of metaphors this book had, and although there were less than 100 pages, I felt like this book was magical and it was very detailed with images to accompany it.

# data[].attributes.body
The third book to the Maze Runner Series shows a journey outside into the outside world. They escaped the phases and Wicked, so they are finally freed from the treacherous Grievers and others. But, Cranks, the infected of the virus, are chasing them all around and they are taking over multiple places. It is their job to stop Wicked from torturing more of the non-infected and time to start working on their own.
I love the series all together so far, and it has a great twist to show how they all go against Wicked, even if he lost his best friend.

The Scorch Trials is a Science Fiction book, the second book to the Maze Runner Series. It really gives a lot of perspective and more life to the book, as if I were actually Thomas, the main character.
The book is about a group of boys and girls in their teen years who had finally finished the first phase: The Maze. Now, they moved onto the second phase: The Scorch. They must escape the world of the infected to get the cure of the virus.

The Maze Runner is the first book to its series, the Maze Runner series, and this is a fun Sci-Fi book with mysteries to be solved by the main character, Thomas.
Thomas is stuck in a Maze with what seems to be no escape. He meets several boys, and starts to live normally. But, the boys are dying left and right from these robotic creatures called the Grievers. As the ending nears and a mysterious girl appears named Teresa, who became his best friend, the Grievers are released into their home, and now they need to find a way to escape before it is too late. There is much , much more to this series but it would take a lot of space to write it!

I think this was my favorite book so far! I loved the amount of humor and adventure he put in the book, along with some sarcasm. I also think that this was my favorite book because it was the view of Magnus. I also love how this connects to Percy Jackson.
The book was about an einherji named Magnus Chase. He and his friends were on a mission to find Thor's lost hammer. But, they fell right into Loki's trap. Loki has escaped his bond, but Thor retrieved his hammer. Their next mission: Find Loki and put him back in his bonds.

Wings of Fire: Talons of Power By Tui T Sutherland

I think all of the Wings of Fire books are great because exploring a different world in a completely different perspective is really cool! I love how in each story there is another adventure, which leads to more and more!
Talons of Power, book 9 in the series, was about a dragon named Turtle, the prince of the SeaWing Kingdom. He was an animus (magic) dragon who didn't want to show his ability to others, for then he couldn't stay hidden. But, when Darkstalker rose from his restless sleep for years, Turtle couldn't hide himself anymore. Not when his friends, family, his teachers of Jade Mountain and classmates, and his kingdom was all in danger.
