2. Smile
by Raina Telgemeier (Graphic Novel)
Raina wants to have a easy, calm sixth grade. But when she
knocks her two front teeth out in a accident, what follows is
her crazy sixth grade year. Filled with fake friends,
headgear, braces, crushes, embarrassment and Raina trying

my favorite part was when she stood up to her “friends”.

3. Undercover
by Beth Kephart (Romance)

sort of like her job. But when a guy named Theo asks her for

she does something that sabotages Elisa’s ice skating dreams

5. Ender’s Game (cont.)
This book really screwed with my mind and my feelings. I
hated the government people who were controlling Ender
and I hated how Ender didn’t know what was happening
until the end. My favorite part was when he was a
commander and he whooped everyone else (I also really
enjoyed Ender’s Shadow, the same story but from Bean’s
point of view).
