Grades 9-12 Book 1 of The Folk of the Air series Love this series so much I'm rereading it. Jude is a prickly heroine who has decided to stop playing nice and go after what she wants, and it's so fun to tag along on her journey. The whole series is full of suspense and plot twists. If you like Game of Thrones-style twisted politics and betrayal, swordplay, romance, spying, and family drama, then I bet you won't be able to put this one down.

This book has it all -- nonstop action; a great plot; brutal, bloody fights; a cooler than cool main character; and lots of twists and turns. Kind of like The Hunger Games (spectator sports! battles! revolution!) but about a million times better -- and it's in outer space! Book 1 of the Red Rising Saga
Grades 9-12
Amazing characters and a plot full of action that does not stop, this one is a must read. If you like adventure stories with a dash of fantasy/supernatural (but completely grounded in a very realistic world) and a plot with more twists and turns than a mountain road, give this one a look. Grades 7-12
Book 1 of the Six of Crows duology
I adored Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, and if it's even possible, I loved this book more. It's a gorgeous fantasy novel set in a richly developed world with characters you will love, admire, and root for. It takes a little while for Taylor to set the stage and for the story to get off the ground, but you'll be rewarded for sticking with it. Grades 9-12
Book 1 of the Strange the Dreamer duology
The author describes her book as "Little Women meets American Ninja Warrior in a setting inspired by Greco-Roman Egypt" while her publisher has pitched it as "Little Women meets Game of Thrones meets The Hunger Games" -- but I would just say it's a great adventure fantasy story set in a unique world. Grades 7-12
Book 1 of Court of Fives Series
This book is an interesting blend of historical fiction and fantasy, and it makes you think about how restricted women were not so very long ago. Grades 7-12
A mesmerizing blend of fantasy, magic, and mystery. Each character is so real and unique - I just want to live inside this book. Book 1 of the Raven Cycle Quartet
