The Goose Girl by Shannon HaleI know I have already recommended this book before but it is such an amazing book that I would like to recommend it once more. It is originally a fairytale from the Brothers of Grimm but Shannon Hale has written it into a breathtaking book about a foreign princess who was betrayed and hid as the goose girl. It may sound "princessy" and childish but trust me, it is an excellent book.
Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie BrinkThis is another exceptional book. Caddie Woodlawn is a very special and unique character. She is a playful tomboy who is troublesome and dispair of how ladylike her mother and sister is. She loves to play with her two brothers and that would always mean trouble. It is very fun reading Caddie Woodlawn.
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
This is my absolute favorite book. It runs over the line of imagination and is so breath-taking. It tells about a heartless, vain wizard named Howl and a pretty, young girl named Sophie. When an evil witch turned her into an old lady, she went to Howl to see if he can lift her spell. Rumors says that he eats young, pretty ladies, read to find out what happens to Sophie when she enters Howl's moving castle.
Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary
This simple books tells about a boy named Leigh Botts who writes letters to his favorite author almost everyday asking him for help or telling him about his day. If he wants the author to answer his letter ASAP, he would say:
De Liver, De Letter, De Sooner, De Better, De Later, De Letter, the Madder, I Getter!
