Warriors: The New Prophecy #1: Midnight by Erin Hunter

Fantasy
"It's a fish!" Feathertail exclaimed. "A golden fish!" "What? Fish aren't golden!" This is from Warriors (which is a series about wild cats). My favorite part is when they find out that it's not being poetic or anything when it says, "Listen to what Midnight tells you." Midnight turns out to be a badger! If you like the Warriors series, you will probably like this book (you probably should start the series at the beginning, though).

Old Man's Cave by Jeff Smith

Graphic Novel/Comic
Have you ever seen a Bone family before? My favorite part is when the Bone family is in the tree with Thorn, and Ted says that they need to go to the old man's cave where it is safe. They refuse to go. Then Thorn is getting ready to go to old man's cave while Bone and Smiley are talking. Bone and Smiley run away and the rat creatures are surounding them. Then Thorn runs and stops the rat creatures. The lord of the Locusts wants Thorn and Phoney to release it. The hooded one agrees and finally gets Thorn. Then Phoney brings them to the hooded one and Phoney and Thorn survive. I like this book because I like cartoons. I recommend this book for people that like Bone books.

Something Under the Bed Is Drooling by Bill Watterson

I like the part where Calvin is invisible and he removed his clothes. He was naked. I like the Calvin and Hobbes books.
