Kingdom Keepers is a great read for kids wondered what Disneyland was like at night when it was closed. I had my librarian buy it and put it in the library so I could read it because I read about it online once. Kingdom Keepers is, as you've probably guessed, about Disney after dark. The twist is that Some of the villains are trying to take over the park. Can just a few kids save the Magic Kingdom?
Read this. It's okay to me, but you may find it more interesting.

Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz
The Alex Rider series is a thriller. I've been reading it ever since fourth grade. I'd read the first two books, stopped, then I just started continuing this year. Alex Rider was chosen to replace his uncle after he'd died in an incident. (The police said it was a car crash, but Alex saw the bullet holes in the car.) Now he's Alex Rider, teenage super spy, saving the world from disaster nine times in one school year. He'd given so many doctor's excuses to the school that the school had gotten suspicious. From pop stars with hi-tech video games to assassination groups that encounter Alex three times, Alex has done the unimaginable.
For the reader who likes pure action with suspense buildup, Alex Rider is for you.since I'm that type of person, I rate this nine book series five stars. Alex Rider should only be read if you aren't disturbed by gore and things like that. Warning: Extreme action. Don't complain if your socks are blown off. Buy Stormbreaker (the first mission) on Amazon!

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
The Mysterious Benedict Society is a great book for Upper Grade students (4th grade to 6th grade.) This book probably has the most original idea ever. To try out for a secret mission, four kids must be able to pass some tests. Mr. Benedict needs the most resourceful kids out there to help him. Someone is trying to take over the world by secretly "brainsweeping" people. He can come out of the shadows and say, " Look at me! I can fix your problem!" After he gains trust, he will become a very respected person. The Mysterious Benedict Society comes to the rescue so that the world can remain in good hands.
The Mysterious Benedict Society series is so good but so short. I'll rate it five stars for being so original, secretive, and mysterious and four stars for the series being so short. Buy the trilogy on Amazon!

The Hunger Games
I'm sorry if I disappoint you, but I don't think of the Hunger Games very highly.
Here are the pros first: The Hunger Games are a very exciting event. It brings fun, excitement, and imagination into the reader's lives. It's a great page turner, and the reader is always wondering what the next page will be like.
Here are the cons: If you like the lovey dovey Twilight type books, this book isn't for you. Sorry to say, but my mom almost didn't let me read it because her friends said it was too graphic. Sadly, this book may appear somewhat scary for kids in the primary grades.
Here is my summary of the book. The Hunger Games is a yearly event where two representatives from each district are chosen (one boy and one girl) to go to the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games aren't a game about eating; instead the kids almost go hungry. They are put in a giant area with tons of hidden cameras to make sure each participant is seen. They are to fight to the death. Some kids are bloodthirsty and are the ones that kill. The others defend themselves and only focus on staying alive. In District 12, Katniss is chosen to fight in the games, but maybe she is in love with the other representative from District 12, Peeta?

Savvy by Ingrid Law
I first read Savvy in third grade and I have loved it ever since. Savvy is about Mibs, a twelve year old girl in what you might call an abnormal family. In her family, the Beaumonts, children will get their own superpower at thirteen years old. Mibs is excited for birthday thirteen until disaster strikes. Mib's awesome father (he doesn't really have a savvy, but Mibs insists it's being awesome) gets in a horrible car crash and might not live.Now, all that Mibs wants is to save her dad.
Savvy is a great read for all ages. Its cousin, Scumble, is also great, but I would prefer reading Savvy. Even though Maximum Ride beat this, this is still a great book. Buy Savvy on Amazon
P.S. I don't work for Amazon, I just trust it the most.

Maximum Ride: The series
Maximum Ride is an amazing book series. It stars a group of kids, and all of them don't know their parents. All they remember about their early life is that they were raised in the School, and while they were just babies they had avian DNA inserted in them. They grew wings and had other non-human properties about them. A scientist at the School named Jeb let them run free to live a free life, but the School sent Erasers (half human, half wolf creatures that run ten times faster than the average Joe) after the flock. They run, well, actually fly away, and find so much on their way to freedom.
I really love Maximum Ride because I learned that there really is something special in flying. I used to just think that flying was not a big deal, but after I read this, I wondered if it was possible to make a way for humans to fly like birds.This action-packed book is a must read for kids aged nine to ninety nine.
