Title: the Chaos Walking
Author: Patrick Ness
This sci-fi, action series sucked me in immediately. In the New World, a planet where people have settled and where streams of thoughts can be seen as images or words known as Noise, Todd Hewitt finds a place where there seems to be no Noise, and is immediately made to leave his town. Finding the source of the silence, he journeys away from Prentisstown to warn others about the Mayor’s treacherous plans.
Books in the series:
The Knife of Never Letting Go
The Ask and the Answer
Monsters of Men

Title: Harry Potter
Author: J.K. Rowling
If you haven't read this series yet, then you absolutely must! It's the most famous and most amazing book series in the world!!
Harry Potter is not just a famous book series. It has so many cunning and genius subplots, it makes you wonder how J.K. Rowling planned all this in the beginning or if she even made them up on the spot. It is written for readers of all ages.
This fantasy adventure series is set in Britain, following a young boy named Harry Potter who lives with his horrible cousin's family as his parents had died. When he turned 11, he learned that he was really a wizard, and should attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets many new friends and learns things about his past and his family which he never knew. However, the dark lord Lord Voldemort is after him: seeking to kill him to prevent a prophecy from coming true.

Title: Ranger’s Apprentice
Author: John Flanagan
If you love history, with tales of knights and mysterious sorcerers, you’ll love this series. Ranger’s Apprentice doesn’t have anything to do with magic, though, but plenty of adventures!
In a world similar to ours, set in a period similar to the Middle Ages, Will, an orphan, has trouble on Choosing Day as none of the Craftsmasters wish to accept him for an apprentice… Except for a man shrouded in mystery with his dark, mottled cloak named Halt. Will finds himself drilled to join the mysterious society of the King’s Rangers, of which not many people know about…
Personally, this is my MOST FAVOURITE BOOK SERIES EVER (besides Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and Divergent)!! Its wording seems simpler, but the adventures are gripping and exciting!
Books in the series:
The Ruins of Gorlan
The Burning Bridge
The Icebound Land
Oakleaf Bearers (A.K.A. The Battle for Skandia in the U.S.)
The Sorcerer in the North
The Siege of Macindaw
Erak’s Ransom
The Kings of Clonmel
Halt’s Peril
The Emperor of Nihon-Ja
The Lost Stories
The Royal Ranger (upcoming in November)
