Staff Picks

1. I Survived by Lauren Tarshis
I Survived by Lauren Tarshis was probably one of the best series a kid like me could read. This series always taught me something new and historically accurate while making it suspenseful and exciting to read. It’s definitely a top choice for kids getting into chapter books. 

2. The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer
The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer was one of my favorite series as a middle schooler. It brought back all of the classic childhood fairytales and continued them with help from the grandchildren of the class fairy godmother. The details were so vivid I was entranced up until the last page. 

3. The Maze Runner by James Dashner
This series was an amazing page turner. It’s highly recommended for anyone looking for a suspenseful and action packed read. A group of teenagers are put to the test to solve several different challenges whilst the rest of the world is starting to crumble. 

4. Twilight by Stephenie Mayer
This series should be read by all teenagers at some point. It’s a complete classic and written well. The movies aren’t comedic but will for sure make you laugh in some way. If you like romance, action, and vampires this is the series for you.
