The Best Books of 2014 (So Far)

Bri’s Top 5:

5. Cress by Melissa Myer

The third book in one of the most original adventure series I’ve read, Cress starts with an attempted rescue gone awry and ends with the realization that our favorite ragtag team of heroes is going to have to save the world.

4. The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler

A dark, slightly eerie middle grade story about a girl and an arrogant boy who can enter books and must defeat the creatures within to escape.

3. The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski

This is how you worldbuild, my friends. Kestral and Arin’s world is one of war and deadly games, where deciding who to trust can cost you everything.

2. Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson

Matson captures best friendship and how it can change you perfectly in this summery contemporary.

1. Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith

Coming of age. History of the end of the world. Giant bugs. Andrew Smith’s latest is one of the most bizarre and fantastic books I’ve ever read.
