Emiline's Picks for Great Summer reads:

 Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls Series by Meg Cabot

Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls is a great summer series.  Even though Allie's in school she can give you great advise because of all the girl drama she deals with!  You can even learn some of her rules to help you be a good person.  I think of Meg Cabot's books as life lessons.  You'll never get tired of this series because it's packed with surprises.  If you're looking for some guidance and a nice summer series then you should pick up Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls by Meg Cabot.

I picked up my Allie Finkle Rules for Girl's book at my favorite Indie Bookstore, Little Shop of Stories.  One of their employees said Allie Finkle had MOXIE!

You can find these books at your school or local library, or at your favorite bookstore.

Marsh's Picks for Great Summer Series:

     If you have just read The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins and are thirsty for another dystopian book, look no more.  The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth is just what you are looking for.  It has inspiring characters, great adventures, and much more.  You cannot stop reading these books once you start.  So, check them out today!

     This is the series that brought me into the world of reading.  The Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series by Rick Riordan.  It has compelling characters, details descriptions, and lots of humor.  I learned everything I know about Greek Mythology the fun way--  by reading this series.  If you haven't read these books then go buy or borrow them!

     Make sure you check back next week and see what books Emiline has FLIPPED for!

My Marvelous Middle-Grade Monday Book is Forge (Seeds of America #2)

By Laurie Halse Anderson.

     I am currently reading Forge, by Laurie Halse Anderson.  It is based on the battle of Valley Forge.  It is a great book so far and I have really been enjoying it.  I like how courageous Curzon, the main character, is and how he is not afraid to stand up for himself.  I also really enjoy the details.  It makes you feel like you are standing in the boots of an American soldier.

     If you like books about history and war, you will definitely enjoy Forge.  It is set in the Revolutionary war.  The main character is a former slave that joined the army!  I am very eager to finish this book.  Remember to check out the first book in the series, Chains.

        I picked up a paperback copy of Forge at my favorite bookstore, Little Shop of Stories, after seeing in on a display.  It is also recommended reading for Middle-Schoolers. You can find Chains and Forge at you local library or at your favorite bookstore.
