We Are Hunted by Tomi Oyemakinde 

We Are Hunted is about Femi and his brother who go with their father on a business trip to a top secret island hoping to rebuild their rocky relationship. At the island they discover strange and beautiful animals but Femi also discovers a deadly secret hidden under the island’s sparkling facade. When bodies start to fall, Femi and his family need to decide how far they are willing to go to survive.

I’m already halfway through this book and I love it, I can’t wait to keep reading and learning more about the mysterious island Femi and his family are stuck on.

Shadow Creatures by Chris Vick

Shadow Creatures is about Tove and Lila, whose village has been invaded by Germans. Their island is turned into a prisoner of war camp. Tove and Lila’s brother join the resistance, who operate secretly like the shadow creatures in Norwegian myths, and wayward Agna courts danger when she decides to help a prisoner. 

I’m really excited to read Shadow Creatures. Because I really enjoy historical fiction and I have heard that this book is really good.

How It All Ends by Emma Hunsinger

How It All Ends is about Tara who skipped eighth grade and went straight to high school. She’s scared that she’ll get lost in a never ending hallway or get paired with one of the rowdy boys for a group project. Maybe everyone will think she’s a baby. But she might make new friends, she can have pizza for lunch everyday and her group project partner makes her least favorite class something she looks forward to.

I really love graphic novels and How It All Ends looks really good. While writing this I ended getting distracted by reading this book and I really like it so far.
