Rangers Apprentice: The Battle for Skandia


This book is the finale of the mini series. This was my favorite book so far in the series, probably because Erek and Halt are the two main characters instead of Will. Erek and Halt banter back and forth and there is lots of action in this book.

Ranger's Apprentice: Icebound Land


Book 2,3, and 4 of the Ranger's Apprentice series are one continuous story. If you start book 2, you've got to read 3 and 4 to find out what happens. This is a book that I really enjoyed. There is lots of action and adventure. One of my favorite characters in the series, Erek, is introduced in this book.

Ranger's Apprentice: The Burning Bridge


This was a better book than the first one in the series. It made me a fan of this series. I thought the character development was better. It introduces some new characters as well.

Sent


This book is the second book of this series from one of my favorite authors, Margaret Peterson Haddix. It is a fascinating book about time travel. It is very thought provoking and interesting read. I would recommend it for older readers (4th grade and up).

Crucial Conversations


As a part of the Principal's Academy I am attending, we are studying this book. I've read it before and it's a fabulous book. It's about how to get along with others and work through potentially tricky confrontations. It's helping me to become a better leader. I'd recommend it to everyone!

The Last Lecture


If you were one of the millions of people who have seen the last lecture and you liked it, you should read the book. The book gives commentary regarding the last lecture and just makes it that much more meaningful.

If you haven't seen the last lecture, you ought to watch it and then read this book.

The Magic Thief


This book was very creative with a different way to look at magic. I wasn't thrilled with the way it ended and so I wasn't super excited in reading the second book. But now that a little time has passed, my curiosity is getting the best of me and I want to read the second one to find out what happened.
