The Lost Hero By Rick Riordan
This novel is my all-time favorite book. It invokes my favorite sub-genre Fantasy. The main character's name in this book is Jason. This book is about trying to takedown the Earth goddess Gaea or make go back to sleep for another thousand years. This book got recommended to me in 5th grade.
I was automatically glued to it. I would read 200 pages of the book in 1 session at night. It influenced me because I thought that there were't that many good genres out there for me, until I stumbled upon this. This book is the reason fantasy is my favorite genre.

The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
This trilogy sets place in the future. The main character in this book is Katniss Everdeen. Katniss's sister gets chosen for this fight to the death battle, she volunteers for her sister and she has to participate in it. This book didn't influence me as much as my first pick but still it hooked me in and that is why it is my second favorite book

The Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
This novel takes place in the Holocaust. The main character is Helmuth. He is a german who doesn't believe that killing Jews or deporting them back to their country is a good thing. This book influenced me because I never knew that their were dictators as bad as them. It also made me believe that speaking your word isn't a bad thing, it is a good thing.
4.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
If I didn't read the lost hero, this would be my favorite book of all time. The main character is Ender. He is sent to space to fight in a intergalactic battle between teenage kids and aliens. He commands every single ship because he is the smartest. This book hooked me in. This book always has surprises. It didn't really influence me that much, but it was still a really good book to read.

The Eleventh Plague by
Jeff Hirsch
This book is about how I would their were to be an eleventh plague, this is how it would be. The main character is Steven. He is with his dad trying not to catch a virus while at the same time trying to forge food to survive. It hits very close to home in a disturbing way. It was still a very interesting book. I am waiting for the next book in the series to come out.

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
This series by all means is probably the best series of books of all time. Probably the most famous too. These series of books are awesome. It is that one book that you can't keep your eyes of of. The main character is Harry Potter. He was adopted because both of his parents died. He was recruited by Hogwarts, a magic school, which is just like any other school. But when he gets older he has to fight evil with his powers. If you haven't read this series I suggest it to any kind of reader.

This is overall a great series. This is a great series about 3 siblings who are unfortunate orphans. They get adopted by a creepy old man. Than bad things start to happen. He starts to put them in bad schools and abuses them. But he dies in the end. This is a great book for anybody the age 11 and over. I suggest to many people.

The Perks of being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky
The main character is Charlie. He is the new kid in school. He surprisingly becomes popular. He is one of those, shy, intelligent popular guys. He is trying to figure out if he should live with his life, or runs away from it. This is a really good book. I know it doesn't seem for my age but still, it talks about life in the teenage years. It is a really good book. I would suggest it to anyone.
10.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
This is one of those action packed books. I cannot put a book down if something is constantly happening. This book is about a boy named Thomas. He was put in a maze. They brainwashed him so he doesn't remember anything of what happened in his passed life. The maze is huge and is constantly changing. So he and his other friends have to find there way out. I suggest it to any reader who can't put a good book down.
