When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead: A story about a girl's life changing in ways she never imagined. Mostly realistic fiction set in the city, with family, friendships, minor romance, and a little bit of time travel.

Anton and Cecil, Cats At Sea by Lisa and Valerie Martin: A historical fiction about two cats, brothers, who get separated and must find their way back to each other. Talking animals, sailing, and more family and friendship.

A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan: The first book in a series that blurs the lines between fantasy and science fiction, with a clear influence from history as well. Kind of an alternate universe English noblewoman from around the equivalent of the late or post-Victorian era who becomes a dragon naturalist. Touches of steampunk and feminism emerge from the series of illustrated memoirs, and I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Oh, and there's also some romance. But yeah.

Thanks guys! I love When You Reach Me! That's probably my favourite, if not one of my favourite, books.

I tried to go on the less popular side of children's literature so you wouldn't know all of them, so we'll see how it goes. Happy reading! (Starred are ones that I think are more adventure books, but I'm never completely sure what that genre is so I might be wrong.)
