Fifth grade and up!
​Imagine your father is an international jewel thief, and he dies in front of you on one of his biggest heists ever! If you were 13, what would you do?  After being sent to foster care, March (that's the 13 year old) discovers a long lost relative, and puts together his own "gang" of thieves to pull of a major heist that will solve his family mystery!  
Full of action, and even though it's a group of teenagers pulling off some amazing crimes... it is actually really believable.
Find it on OverDrive!

Gone Crazy in Alabama by Rita Williams-Garcia

GREAT book for 4th graders and older.  This is the third book in the stories of the three sisters Delphine, Vonetta and Fern.  One Crazy Summer, P.S. Be Eleven, and Gone Crazy in Alabama follow the sisters on a lot of different adventures.
In Gone Crazy in Alabama they go visit their grandmother who helped raise them.   Crazy things happen when a tornado strikes!  
I could really relate to this book because there are three sisters.  I have two sisters, which makes three of us, and the way Delphine, Vonetta and Fern act around each other is a lot like how my sisters and I act around each other!  
​Highly recommended!!!!

This is a 700 page book for grown ups and adults!  
I can't believe I lasted for the whole book.  I kept going because I really wanted to know how life was going to turn out for the main character.  He kept having really bad things happen to him, and just couldn't catch a break.  This book won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and I can tell why.  The language and way the author wrote was amazing.

Good for most kids third grade and up.
​This is the first book in a series of over 15 books.
A funny-mystery told from the perspective of the family dog.
A rabbit that sucks the juice out of vegetables?  With a patch of black fur that closely resembles Dracula's hairline?  Could it be true?  How will the family dog and cat let the humans know they might be in danger?!
