I recommend this series that begins with Fallen. The author is Lauren Kate.

The book is about the forbidden love between a human girl and a fallen angel. Lucinda is a teenager sent to a school where all of the students have some kind of dark future. And there she meets Daniel... Some of you may decide that the story is a lot similar to Twilight, but they don't have anything in common. For me, Fallen had a deeper meaning and the romance was not presented in such an obvious way, making it sound like a soap opera.

The book catches the reader's interest and is interesting to read. A hint of gothic scent could be felt...

If you like fantasy stories that capture your attention so much that you don't want to stop reading, then this is the book for you. It is about a young girl named Tally who is about to get what she has always wanted. However, she realizes that there are more important things than being perfect - friendship, loyalty, happiness. What choice will she make? Will she follow her heart and what will it tell her? This book is the first one in a trilogy, so you might also enjoy Pretties and Specials by Scott Westerfield.

This is the best Harry Potter of the entire series. Harry faces tons of challenges including fighting with Death Eaters and leading a secret brotherhood. He even gets involved with a girl. There are many sudden turns and unexpected deaths. If you like fantasy, action and adventure - this book is for you!

An interesting book that I've read this quarter is The Night of the Dragon. It's fiction, a very nice book filled with adventures. It's the second part of the series, the first is called The Day of the Dragon. So it's full of swords, might and magic and dragons, of course. It's a nice book, and I think you'll like it.

This is a book from the author Andrzej Sapkowski. It discusses the sotry of an assassin with special talents and his specialty is in killing creatures that threaten humans. If you like fiction, you'll definitely like The Witcher.

The Hobbit is a very popular book written by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a very interesting and easy-to-read story, of a hobbit called Bilbo. Bilbo is an ordinary hobbit - he just stays at home, doing his work and drinking tea. Everything is perfectly normal, until one day he is included in an adventure and his life is changed forever.

Everbody who likes adventure books will love this one. It is very well written and it makes you part of the story. If you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, you would like it as well, because The Hobbit is some kind of a prologue to the trilogy.

If you like this book you would probably like: Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, The Children of Hurin

Lord of the Rings is an epic book in the genre of adventure fiction. It is one of a kind and it is the beginning of an era in which people compare books from the same genre to Lord of the Rings. Movies, action figures, toys, play cards... all these things keep the flames going in the readers' hearts.

Just give it a go and by the end of the first chapter, you will be enchanted by Tolkien's writing style.

This book is about an extraordinary love triangle. We have a witch, a spirit God, and a boy. However, the story's weirdness doesn't end here. There are many other creatures that will make you laugh throughout the book. If you want to dive into the fiction world, this is the right book for you.

I am only halfway through but this book has already become the best book I've read in this year's outside reading. This is a book written by a sixteen-year-old boy and is already an international bestseller. Eragon is a story of a boy who discovers a dragon egg and becomes a dragon rider. This fantasy book tells the reader a lot about dragons and magic creatures. Also, the adventure is non-stop and breath-taking. If you liked The Hobbit you will probably like this book too. It is a book for true adventurers.

My favorite book this quarter was Eragon by Christopher Paolini. This book is a story about one lazy boy whose life suddenly changes when he finds a dragon egg in a fossil. Eragon becomes a dragon rider and is the chosen one who must defeat the evil lord Galbatorix. I liked this book very much because it's a mixture of adventures, fantasy and a lot of battles. It is a very dynamic book and every single moment is very exciting and interesting. The book is suitable for people of every age. I recommend it to everyone.

Recommended by Ms. Potash: The Hobbit


Like dragons, dwarves, elves, and gold? Enjoy Scifi? Though The Hobbit didn't hit the silver screen when the world went wild for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it was the book that started it all. Follow along on the adventure of Bilbo Baggins as he enters an incredible world he never thought he'd see.
