What You Should Be Reading Right Now- 4th & 5th Grade Book Picks

      You may be wondering what to read, or don't have an idea what books you could be interested in. (believe me, I have been there too!) Well I can give you a pretty good  idea. I've read some different types of books this year, so here's a list that might be helpful.



Fantasy:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 
(the Harry Potter series is written by J.K. Rowling)
I recommend this series because almost every second, suspense is somewhere in the air.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters
Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse
Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth
Percy Jackson and the The Last Olympian
(All written Rick Riordan)
This series is a great way to learn about Greek Mythology, while you're interested in a great book.
The Bad Beginning
The Reptile Room
The Wide Window
The Miserable Mill
The Austere Academy
The Ersatz Elevator
The Vile Village 
The Hostile Hospital
The Carnivorous Carnival
The Slippery Slope
The Grim Grotto
The Penultimate Peril
The End
(by Lemony Snicket)
These books are hilarious, but very suspenseful!

Realistic Fiction:
The Penderwicks: A summer Tale About 4 Sisters, 2 Rabbits, And a Very Interesting Boy
(by Jeanne Birdsall)
This may sound like a rather boring book, but believe me, it's the opposite of boring!
Hatchet
(by Gary Paulson)
Definitely not what would happen every day!
Running Out of Time
(by Margaret Peterson Haddix)
You've got to listen to me, this is one of the best books I've ever read!

Science Fiction
Among The Hidden
Among The Impostors
Among The Betrayed
Among The Barons
Among The Brave
Among The Enemy
Among The Free
(by Margaret Peterson Haddix)
About kids our age who go through almost their whole childhood, fighting for freedom.
