What books have you read that it seems like no one has heard of them?

Icefall by Matthew J. Kirby.

Obscure….could ya tell me about it?

Yeah.
Trapped in a hidden fortress tucked between towering mountains and a frozen sea, Solveig, along with her brother the crown prince, their older sister, and an army of restless warriors, anxiously awaits news of her father's victory at battle. But as winter stretches on, and the unending ice refuses to break, terrible acts of treachery soon make it clear that a traitor lurks in their midst. A malevolent air begins to seep through the fortress walls, and a smothering claustrophobia slowly turns these prisoners of winter against one another. Those charged with protecting the king's children are all suspect, and the siblings must choose their allies wisely. But who can be trusted so far from their father's watchful eye? Can Solveig and her siblings survive the long winter months and expose the traitor before he succeeds in destroying a kingdom?

It has Norse elements in it. It's very enjoyable.

WHOA THAT SOUNDS GOOD!!!!!!!

Here's my list:

-The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
-All of Anne Ursu's books
-The Inkheart Trilogy (It's a little tough to get into) by Cornelia Funke
-Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke
-Beast by Shawna Shroeder
-The Mouseheart trilogy by Lisa Fielder
-The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly (I think that's how you spell it)
-Wondla by Tony DiTerlizi

That's just a few I can name off the top of my head…

-Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi
-Emmy and the Rat trilogy Lynne Jonell
-Roverandom by J. R. R. Tolkein
-A Nest for Celeste by Henry Cole
-The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry
-The Green Ember S. D. Smith
-The Mistmantle Chronicles by M. I. McAllister

I have literally read half of these.

OH YEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

I am not a loner, I especially liked Roverandom, and Dragon Rider

Ah yes…Dragon Rider…the book that was read to me multiple times on audio book….by Brendan Fraiser. (Or however you spell it…)

I hate listening to audio books. I can't stand not having it in my hands and not looking at the words.

I know I'm talkin WAAAAAAAAAYYYY back…

Well not so way back for me…

Yeah…I used to listen to it a lot cus I wasn't a very big reader.

I was and still am a super huge reader. I read the entire Percy Jackson series in a week back in 6th grade.

That was one of my biggest accomplishments…

Nice…I read it in three cus of the library wait…

I had full reign over our library because no wants to go there…

I’ve read Futhermore, it was good!

Some of mine are:

• The False Prince trilogy
• Mark of the Thief trilogy
• Scythe
• Turtle in Paradise
• Penny from Heaven
• The True Meaning of Smekday (it inspired the movie Home)
• there’s this really good series of mysteries for younger kids, but I can’t remeber what it’s called. I just know it’s about two kids named Grant and Christina.

I love the False Prince trilogy, and Turtle in Paradise!

Did you see there’s a prequel to Turtle in Paradise? It’s called Full of Beans, and it’s about Beans and the Diaper Club

Yes. I've also read that one.
