Anyone who knows me should know that I usually carry a book with me during the school day. It is not uncommon for me to read a different book each day. I am going to go over the books in my collection that would be appropriate for young readers, a few of which may not actually be on the market yet. Through my years of reading I have gotten some benefits, one of such is that my opinion of the books that I read is taken into account when a bookstore by the name of Square Books Jr. decides which books to have in stock.
      These books that are not yet out will have a star beside them *  I will give a basic rundown on what each book is about, unless they are relatively well know.

      I hope that you find these books as enjoyable as i did.

        1. The Snow Spider Trilogy-{The Snow Spider, Emlyn's Moon, The Chestnut Soldier} In this trilogy a young boy named Gwyned gets several gifts on his birthday, each one is strange in its own way, a scarf, a brooch, and several other things. One gift, however must never be used, a strange toy horse with a grim history. However it gets into the wrong hands and sends everything into chaos, the person who used it? Himself.

       2. Daemon Hall*- This book is a contest and a collection of odd horror-like stories. The book takes a person in by a simple rhyme that is akin to the Agatha Christie novel "And Then There Were None" but in a much more childish form. Each contestant has written and submitted a horror story and are to spend the night, with consent from there parents of course, in Daemon Hall a manor owned by a universally known horror book writer. As the night goes on the last one standing after all the stories have been told wins. The only problem is, the last tale is their own.

        4. The Mysterious Benedict Society-{The Mysterious Benedict Society, The Perilous Journey, The Prisoner's Dilemma.} Four children must face a plot to rule the world. Each of these children have very unique personalities and are very intelligent in various ways. The book must be read.
