Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 1-4
by Yamamori Mika

Daytime Shooting Star is about a girl named Suzuki who moves from the countryside to Tokyo to live with her uncle while her parents are away for work. She meets new friends and is in constant drama with two guys named Shishio and Mamura and a girl named Yuyuka. I like this manga because Suzume isn’t a typical protagonist. She can be oblivious, but it adds to her character as someone who was raised in a very different environment from Tokyo. I would recommend this manga to anyone who likes the shoujo genre.
 
 

My Family And Other Animals
by Gerald Durrell

During summer reading I have only read 15 pages of this book but total I've read 170, more than half, and it is very good! It is the story of the Durrells, a family from England that moves to the small Greek Island, Corfu. In Corfu they have many adventures, the book is mostly about Gerry, a young boy at the time, who loves to study animals. Gerry, or Gerald, Durrell wrote My Family And Other Animals as an adult, when he grew up he started an animal conservation zoo, breeding endangered species. The book is very good and I highly recommend it!
 
 

Wing of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy (audiobook)
by Tui T. Sutherland

I highly reccomend this series. Granted, there is good but if violence in there which leads me to believe you should probably be a teen before you sit down to read it. I really enjoyed this book. The reader of the audio version did a very good job with voices and pacing. I highly reccomend to lovers of fantasy and dragons. This is one of few dragon series I have read and found well done.
 
 

The Summer Deal
by Jill Shalvis

This is a very great book, of a girl named Brynn Turner who wants to have her life together and decides to move back into her home tome, living with her two mothers. She ends up meeting an old summer campmate Eli in a hospital waiting room and eventually, she ends up rooming with an old bully of hers, who turns out to be her half-sister. This book is a very good read and I recommend this book to older teens to young adults.
 
 

Terminal (audio)
by Kathy Reichs

This is the best ending I could have thought out for a book. I ADORE this series, a lot. Kathy and Brandon spin a tale about being hunted by men in black for the finale of their series. I really adored these books and the way they rewrite the definition of a werewolf and how they can represent. This series is for anyone that loves mystery and fantasy and even a bit of romance! I wish the library did have ALL the books though- they're missing a few but each novel can be a stand alone as is.
 
 

Exposure
by Kathy Reichs

I highly reccomend the Virals series. The authors (the Reichs) are such good authors. Virals is about a group of friends that live in Charleston, SC. They are infected with a virus, which tracks their bodies and leaves them with a surprise. In a twisty turned around way, the group of teens constantly get into trouble. From kidnappings to ambushes, it's a wonderful strange series full of mysteries.
 
 

Stamped Racism Antiracism And You
by Jason Reynolds

I'll admit it--I read the YA version of the book by Ibram X. Kendi.
 
 

Dread Nation
by Justina Ireland

A friend recommended this book, and I did not think I would like it. I was wrong. The author takes an alternate history with zombies and weaves it into a tale that is at once fantastical and a sharp unflinching look at race relations. I am looking forward to reading the sequel, and I hope someone is making the movie!
 
 

Code (audio)
by Kathy Reichs

I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the Virals series. The stakes are higher than before. This time, the mystery was more intense. The character building was great in this one and the conclusion had me shook. I was not expecting such a delightful book!
 
 

Tiger Lily
by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Tiger Lily is the story of a girl in Neverland, in love with Peter Pan. Tiger Lily is a brave and strong girl and the book is amazing! The story is filled with adventure, romance, and humor. You don't have to know about (or even like) Peter Pan to love this wonderfully written story. This is a truly magnificent story, and I recommend it to anyone who loves an adventure, because it is one in a book!
