Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary

Brandon Mull has done it again. Fablehaven #4 is even better than the last one!  Craig devoured the book in a few days and then I read the whole thing one day while he took the kids to Disneyland.... 

Book 5 will be the last one and comes out next year.  I'll try to stand the wait.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This book is absolutely page turning. Think of it as the show Survivor, but lethal. Instead of getting voted off the show, you die. I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day. Downside is the sequel isn't due to be released till September 2009.

Also, Suzanne Collins' series Underland Chronicles are pretty good. The first one is called Gregor the Overlander.

Absolutely loved it!
