Matched by Ally Condie

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel which reminded me of Lois Lowry's The Giver. In this "perfect" society everything is decided based on statistics. Initially Cassia is overjoyed to be matched for life with her best friend, Xander, but what happens when she starts falling for another guy and what will happen if she follows her heart? First book in a trilogy.

Bella and Stella Come Home by Anika Denise

This is a great book for anyone experiencing a move to a new home. Bella and her imaginary friend don't like the new house at first because it is nothing like their old one. A new neighbor changes her mind. Great illustrations and lots of fun.

Fire by Kristin Cashore

A prequel to Graceling - but just as good. Fire has the ability to control the minds of the people around her. However, her life is still in danger. A brilliant book.
