The Terrible Two / Jury John and Mac Barnett

I would recommend this book to someone because if you like pranking/ pranksters/pranks then this book is for you. It talks about different kinds of pranks and how to do them and it’s exciting to see when the next prank will come in the book. Also there was never a part when I got bored to read, so it was a good book to read.

Dangerous Lies/Becca Fitzpatrick

Yes, I would recommend this book. Becca Fitzpatrick is my favourite author, and this is just another amazing book of hers. Again there is a female lead, so I would recommend for girls, who is fighting for herself and her life. It is a very dramatic book, but has lots of funny moments too. The main character, Estella, is in witness protection after she witnesses a murder. She is forced to move far away, and take on a new identity. I would recommend for anyone who likes drama, action and comedy.
