Here are my top books of March!
- Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf
I really enjoyed this book! The last time Najwa went to a Scrabble tournament, her best friend, Trina died. Now, she’s finally worked up the courage to go again. But when Trina’s Instagram starts loading with new posts and someone pretending to be Trina messages Najwa, she knows she has to solve the mystery of who killed Trina. This was such an amazing book and I really enjoyed it. The plot was amazing and the mystery was well-written. - Just Roll With It by Veronica Agarwal and Lee Durfey-Lavoie
This book was so amazing. Maggie is starting middle school this year. She’s so nervous about the school year and it doesn’t help that there’s a monster in the lawn that none of the adults seem to see. She’s also had a hard time making decisions, but her lucky dice helps with that. I loved Maggie’s journey and the illustrations were so cute. There’s also a ton of diversity, which makes this book a great read. - Twelfth by Janet Key
I loved this book so much. Maren is sure she won’t enjoy theater camp, or anything connected to her sister again. But as she goes through the camp and meets new people, she gets drawn up into the search of a diamond ring. With her friends by her side, she goes through a scavenger hunt-like puzzle, with clues alluding to the camp’s play-Twelfth Night. I really enjoyed the story and the mystery that was told along with it. It’s such a diverse and beautiful story and I enjoyed it a lot. - One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus
This is a really amazing book. Simon, the owner of the biggest gossip blog in their school, died in detention because of peanut oil coating his cup. There were only four people who could have done it- Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, or Cooper. All of them were in detention for something they didn’t do and Simon planned to publish an entry about all of them the next day. So, it had to be one of them. But as they tell their stories, it becomes clear. There’s another part to this mystery. This book was so well-written and I can’t wait to continue the series. - The Bookshop of Dust and Dreams by Mindy Thompson
This book was absolutely amazing. Poppy’s family owns one of the many magical bookstores, created to keep the Light in favor and the Dark out. But when her brother’s best friend dies in war, it creates an open door for the Dark to come in. Soon, he’s corrupted, changing everything in Poppy’s life as she discovers secrets and new stories. This was such a great book and I totally loved the plot and the characters.
