See You in the
Cosmos
by Jack Cheng
See You in the
Cosmos is about a
boy named Alex and
his crazy life. Alex
goes to a rocket
festival, finds out
he has a stepsister, loses his dog, gets
seriously injured, and travels around the
country in one story, while recording
his adventures on his iPod to send to
space. This is one of the best books I’ve
ever read, and I seriously recommend it.

The Cricket in Times Square

by George Selden

I like The Cricket

in Times Square

because it sticks

in your heart like

gum stuck to the

f loor. The story

is about a cricket

who got lost and

ended up in Times

Square, New York. He makes friends

there that are kind and loving. The

question is: Does he get back home?

A Year Without Autumn

by Liz Kessler

A girl named Jenni and her family

go on their yearly trip to Riverside

Village. Jenni meets up with her best

friend, Autumn, at Riverside Village.

But when Jenni goes to visit Autumn’s

condo and takes an unfamiliar eleva-

tor, everything looks and feels differ-

ent. It’s up to Jenni

to find what’s been

lost and fix what’s

been done. I know

once you pick up

the book you will

not be able to put it

down!

The Mysterious Benedict

Society (series)

This exciting series is a daring, scary

tale about a group of four kids who are

on a mission to save the world. Each

of them has been

through lonely

times, but they’re

working together

to save their lives.

Nothing is safe,

not even their

homes. They have

to leave their loved

ones behind and

venture into dan-

gerous zones undercover. This is a time

to remember, and it will change their

memories forever.
