This book is about a girl whose mother dies while her father is writing a book named The Universe of the Four Gods. She goes inside the book and needs to find the seven warriors. I like this book because it is a manga and you should read it because it is amazing.

Vampire Knight by Matsuri Hino
Review by B-liz
This book is about vampires. It's very funny. Lots of blood. I like this book because all the guys are ugly. You should read this book because the sound effects are weird.

A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz
Review by Hannah
Hansel and Gretel embark on several journeys to prove that they don't need parents. This fairy tale ties into other not-very-well known fairy tales. I like this book because the author keeps interrupting the story to make the story more interesting or to warn the reader of (what he thinks) really scary parts. You should read this book because this book is very funny. You should't be intimidated by the cover because it isn't scary, just funny.

In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz
Review by Hannah
Jack and Jill travel through scenarios only to find that they like themselves despite the fact that they're rejected by the people they want to impress. After the quest, the kids realize that they shouldn't care what other people think of them, and they end up finally feeling at home.

Cages by Dave McKean
Review by Tori
This book is about how the author interprets God, life, and death. A wonderful story...but it's no easy read. It's and in depth story. I like this book because it is so soothing to read. It has such a great theme. You should read this book because the pictures are great! It gives you a different view on the world.

Swallow Me Whole by Nate Powell
Review by Paige
This book is about a girl who sees things. And her grandmother is really sick and sees things too. Her brother has a pen with a wizard on top of it that talks. I like this book because it is a graphic novel and you should read this book. It's a great book. The title goes with the book.
