Shannon's Book Recamendations

1) We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han is a realistic fiction book about Isabel Conklin that has been proposed to by her boyfriend and she says yes. She then realizes she still has feelings for Conrad, her fiance, Jeremiahs, brother, and Isabels first love. She pushes the feelings away and continues on with wedding plans. Isabel fights through hard, difficult emotions that will confuse her from one of the biggest decisions of her life. This book may sound directed to girls, and it probably is, but it is a good book for anyone who is willing to read it.

2) The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall by Mary Downing Hahn is the story of Florence, a 12 year old girl who is sent to live with her great uncle and aunt in a large, old manor on the English country side. She isn't excited, but anything has to be better than the orphanage in which she has lived in since her parents death. But Florence couldn't begin to imagine what lurks in the shadows. Her late cousin, Sophia, who looks exactly like a hateful Florence, has murderous plans to avenge her death, and Florence is a part of it.

3) The House of Dead Maids by Clare B. Dunkle. This titel pretty much explains this creepy, creepy book. Tabby Aykroid is sent to a house with, lets just say, a history. She doesn't know this though. She is to be a nursemaid to a foundling boy, which in this place, just means to be with him until...until... well, just read the book... er... something. No, really, READ THIS BOOK!

4) The Narnia series by C.S. Lewis is, yes, famous, but by far, UNDERRATED! These books are some of the best I have ever read. The imagination is so creative that I feel like I'm there, and then, when I finish, I feel like i was ripped away like all who visit, but the portal for me, unlike all else, is just on my bookshelf, and I can visit whenever i like! You should to! + (!)

5) The Sister of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares is an amazing book that is full of character difference and and an excellent plot that will have you feeling sad, mad, happy, and shocked! Read all of them though, there are three others, The Second Summer of the Sisterhood, Girls in Pants, and Forever in Blue.
