Book Reading Suggestions for the School Break
The school break is a time when you’d probably have a lot of free time, so it also means you’ll have lots of time to read books. I know that some people don’t like reading much (as I see during DEAR time), but some books are just worth reading in your free time. It can also be a bit hard to choose what you want to read, so we will be recommending some of our favourite books as well as books that we just think are really good!
BOOK 1: Harry Potter Series
First, my all-time favourite is the Harry Potter series. I’m a huge fan of this series and I think a lot of people can relate to that. Harry Potter isn’t just any book series, it’s (in my opinion) the best one ever created. Well, here’s a short teaser of the first book of the series below:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Harry receives a mysterious letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but his aunt and uncle try to prevent him from reading it. But Harry isn’t an ordinary boy. He can make things happen that don’t make sense, he can do the extraordinary without knowing how. Could it be… magic?
BOOK 2: When You Trap a Tiger
When You Trap a Tiger - this book is an amazing story about a girl with Korean culture who comes to live with her grandmother with her older sister and her mother. Now, this girl’s name is Lily, and she can see tigers who aren’t really there, hear the tigers and - she might even have a spiritual connection with them. Her grandmother is becoming sicker and sicker, but she’ll do what she has to.
BOOK 3: The Sweetvalley Twins (Graphic Novel)
The Sweetvalley Twins Graphic Novel is a comic adaptation of the Sweetvalley Twins novel from the 1980s. It’s a book about two girls, Jessica and Elizabeth, who are twins. Though they look the same, they are actually really different and have different interests. While Elizabeth is hard-working and really kind, Jessica can sometimes be a little self-absorbed and prefers popularity.
BOOK 4: The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan- series
This series is about ancient Greek mythology and fantasy. I recommended it because it contains information about Greek mythology, and the story is very interesting to read. The series blends fantasy, science, and romance.
BOOK 5: The Kane Chronicles - Rick Riordan - Series
Why I recommend: This is another Rick Riordan series that I recommend because the story also includes fantasy, science fiction, romance, and it is about ancient Egypt. This book will also not bore you because it makes you want to know the ending.
The Red Pyramid – Introduces the siblings Sadie and Carter Kane. They discovered that they were magicians and descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. Sadie and Carter must learn magic to fight Set, the god of chaos, storms, war, deserts, and violence.
The Throne of Fire – This book follows the siblings Sadie and Carter Kane, who are on a mission to wake the Sun God Ra to stop Aphophis from rising.
The Serpent’s Shadow – The final book of the Kane Chronicles follows Sadie and Carter Kane with their friends stopping the chaos Serpent Apophis from destroying the Gods, the earth, and humanity.
