Book Recommendations

Hey everyone! These are some books that I have read lately that I have enjoyed. Recently, I've been reading a mix of middle grade and young adult books, so I have separated those below so you can understand which books are in which category. I based it off of what the online library I checked them out from said they were. I added a one sentence description for each book so you can see a peek of what it's about, and there are summaries online for all of the books.
