Breanna recommended the award winning book, Doll Bones by Holly Black. This story is about three friends, Alice, Poppy, and Zach. They enjoy playing a game with pirates, thieves, mermaids, and warriors. Ruling over the game is the Great Queen. She is a doll made of China that curses those who displease her. Once they enter middle school, Zach decides it is time to give up the childish game, but Poppy begins to have nightmares about the Great Queen. The Queen demands to be buried or she will make their lives miserable. The three friends set off on a journey to lay the Queen to rest, but nothing on the journey goes quite as planned. Breanna said, "I like this book because it is full of adventure. It is funny and scary! If you like adventure, you will like this book!" You can find this book at the RSMS library or in Mrs. Baker's classroom library.
Several students have written recommendations for The Maze Runner by James Dashner. In this book, Thomas can't remember anything but his name as he wakes up in an elevator that is going up. Once the elevator stops, Thomas enters the Glade, a community of boys surviving completely on their own. The boys are constantly being threatened by Grievers in the Maze that surrounds the Glade. The boys are about to give up hope of ever finding their way home when an unconscious girl unexpectedly arrives. Her arrival changes everything. Jackson said, "This book was really good! The story was so interesting. I like the dystopian genre. If you like dystopian novels, then you will like this one, too!" Olivia said, "The book had lots of action. It also has a movie you can watch after you finish reading the book. Both the book and the movie were really good!" This book can be found in Mrs. Baker's classroom library.
