21. The Tower Room by Adele Geras: The last (or rather, first, as I read the series out of order) book in the Egerton Hall Trilogy, making about as much sense as the other two.
22. Peter Duck by Arthur Ransome: One of the sequels to Swallows and Amazons; a bit hard to get into and full of technical language referring to boats, but very exciting when you get used to it.
23. PS I Loathe You by Lisi Harrison: The latest Clique book, sounding a little too much like Gossip Girl, but Harrison uses some new points of view, which was refreshing from the normal narrators.
24. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson: The classic tale of pirates, mutiny, and buried treasure, an exciting book that I highly recommend.
25. The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit: A story for younger children, which explains why I didn’t particularly like it.
26. Theater Shoes by Noel Streatfield: I was shocked at the huge similarities between this and Streatfield’s previous novel, Ballet Shoes. It really acts as a sequel to the story of the Fossils, and I would only recommend it if you were looking for a bit of closure on that book.
27. Inkspell by Cornelia Funke: The sequel to Inkheart, a bit more mature and overall pretty good.
28. Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella: I loved this book! It’s very British and it’s written in a modern style, and I couldn’t put it down!
29: Blackthorn Winter by Kathryn Weiss: A murder mystery set in present day England. It’s a bit long winded, but some parts are pretty intense, well worth the read to discover who the villain is!
30: Pretties by Scott Westerfeld: The sequel to Uglies, and horribly repetitive, but if you read the first book you ought to read this.
