Natalie recommends The Selection Series by Kiera Cass. In this book, thirty-five girls have been selected to live at the palace and compete to become the wife of Prince Maxon. America Singer is less than thrilled when she is among the selected girls. She loves her boyfriend, Aspen, and doesn’t want to leave him to pursue this better life without him. However, when she meets Prince Maxon, she begins to question her best laid plans. Natalie said, “I love The Selection Series! It is action-packed through all three books, and it had the perfect amount of romance.” This book is available at Mrs. Baker’s classroom library.
Jackson recommends Ender’s Game by Orsen Scott Card. Andrew “Ender” Wiggin is taken from his family to attend an elite military training school. The planet is being threatened by alien forces and the military seeks a general to lead their forces in the attack. Ender quickly becomes a leader in his school and in his training, but is he able to be the general that Earth so desperately needs? Jackson said, “ I like the book because it kept my attention the entire time. I also like that the main character is a boy. Sometimes it is hard to find a book where a boy is the main character. The battle school was really cool! Also, I like to read books that have a movie so I can watch the movie when I finish the book.” River Springs students can find this book at the school library.
