Inkspell By Cornelia Funke


Inkspell is the sequel to Inkheart. I was really impressed with the writing(since it is translated), and even more so with the story. Inkheart pulls characters out of books, while Inkspell pulls characters into books. I am in high suspense waiting to read the third one. One of my new favorites, and a seventh grade reading level, though if looking for a challenge try it in fifth grade.

The Door Within By Wayne Thomas Batson


It's by one of my favorite authors, but not the best book series he's ever written. I love the story of it, but wasn't impressed by the writing. He's definitely become a better writer since then. About a third grade reading level, and still an enjoyable book.

Inkheart By Cornelia Funke


An awesome book full of book characters read directly from books. It was a very long book but worth all of the time that I spent on it. Definitely one of the best books that I have read recently. I recommend it for sixth graders even though it has a higher reading level. I'm very excited to read the second book.

Just So Stories By Rudyard Kipling


Just So Stories is a great book with several small stories in it. It has stories such as How the Elephant Got It's Trunk, or The Beginning of Armadillos. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought that the reason why it was written was very touching. I recommend this book for fourth graders to adult. It is a great book to read to someone else.

King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table By Lancelyn Green


This book has made me even more interested in the era of King Arthur, and I thought that with all of the short stories put together it was one of the most entertaining books I have read. I would recommend King Arthur and His Knights of The Round Table for fifth graders to adult.
