Hide by Kiersten White

Imagine this, if you will, you and thirteen other contestants have been chosen to take part in a week-long game of 'Hide and Seek' in an abandoned amusement park ala Mr. Beast-style. Each day there are two participants that are taken out, the game is active from Dawn until Dusk, and every night you sleep alongside your fellow contestants forging alliances and creating rivalries. The sole winner earns $50,000, AND the game might even become televised so you have the potential to be an internet celeb just by playing. 

A Crane Among Wolves by June Hur

In 1500s Joseon (modern day Korea), Iseul and her sister are living under a brutal tyrant, King Yeonsan. The king has murdered all those he considers political enemies, which included their parents. The King commandeers land from his people and kidnaps young girls across the country. When Iseul's sister becomes one of the kidnapped girls, Iseul embarks on a dangerous journey, determined to bring her home. She believes the key to getting her sister back is to solve a series of murders the King has offered a great reward for.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

If you like reading adventure or survival fiction, this is the book for you! If you despise intense word visualizations, you can ignore this. Although I really enjoyed this book, it actually is super intense. 

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

Walk Two Moons is an unbearably sad but extremely inspiring story of a 13-year-old girl named Salamanca Tree Hiddle. She goes on a journey, from moving to a small Ohio town, meeting the most peculiar Phoebe Winterbottom, discovering who the real lunatic is, going on a road trip on time, and discovering where her mother actually is.

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

The Westing Game is a weirdly captivating cozy mystery/page turner.

This book is so clever, with bombs, bookies, burglars, 16 heirs, and most of all: dead(or is he?) Samuel W. Westing and his will. This is so fun because of the action!

5 out of 5 stars.
