May’s Top Books

  1. The Last Fallen Star by Graci Kim
    This is the newest book is the Rick Riordan Presents series. It focuses on Korean mythology and a girl’s profound love for her adopted sister. I love Riley and her hilarious antics, but also how caring and kind she is. Her imaginative way of solving problems is so creative and I love how she is ready to do anything it takes to get Hattie (her sister) back. The plot twists are also super cool and I can’t wait to read the next book.
  2. The Ivory Key by Akshaya Raman
    This was definitely one of my favorite books of this year. It is a fictional novel set in India, told in the point of views of 4 siblings, all very different. Vira is the maharani trying to live up to her mother, Riya is a Raven, going against her own sister, Ronak makes a deal to get him out of the nation, and Kaleb is in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. I love the way that these 4 stories merge together and form one. They are all such brave characters who carry big burdens. The plot twists are also great, and I can’t wait for the next book.
  3. Princess in Practice by Connie Glynn
    I loved the second book in the series. Ellie, Lottie, and Jamie are back to stop another plan by the Leviathan. This time, new friends are introduced an old friends are back at it again. More people come to know of the scheme and they gain many close allies. I really enjoyed this book and how everyone interacted (especially Lottie and Ellie). It’s such a fun book and I t0tally recommend this series to you!
  4. A Whole New World by Liz Braswell
    This is one of the books in the “Twisted Tales” series. This book is a spin on Aladdin, asking this question. What if Aladdin had never found the lamp? I loved the way Aladdin and Jasmine were developed and how we got to see more of the story from this point of view. They are both so caring and kind, which we can see when they interact with others. I enjoyed this book so much and I can’t wait to read the next ones!
  5. The Unmapped Sea and The Long-Lost Home by Maryrose Wood
    These were the last two books in this 6 book long series. Penelope and her pupils are so bright and kind. The story is so beautiful and I love the way that Penelope takes care of them. Both books are so adventurous and the way that Penelope has fun with the Incorrigibles is heartwarming. I especially loved the last book for all the secrets that are revealed and how everything starts to fit into place.
