Check out some of the suggested authors below! If you like SCARY books by Mary Downing Hahn, try a book by Jonathan Stroud, Holly Black, or Roland Smith If you LOVE Hatchet, try another adventure by Will Hobbs or Gordon Korman If you enjoy SPORTS, try fiction by Tim Green or Mike Lupica. If you enjoy humor by Jeff Kinney or Rene Russell, try books by Tom Angleberger or James Patterson’s Middle School series.
