Linking Books
I read a fanfic, He's NOT my dictator!, in which the main character was Alice, who follows a loud noise and finds a plaque that sends her into an anime she's never watched, so she doesn't understand it and is totally confused. After reading that fanfic, I read Alice in Wonderland,
And I couldn't help but think, "I swear I've read this somewhere" And I had. He's NOT my dictator! is based off of Alice in Wonderland, and I thought that was so cool! I Found it In some other books/fanfics, too, like Loki's Wolves and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and the writing style is so similar in all the Spirit Animals books, too, even though each book has a different author.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
L.Frank Baum
Series
It's a really cool book (I wish it was a series but it isn't)
but make sure you get the unmodified classic version cuz the modified ones aren't as awesome. It has a lot of magic and stuff in it, and pretty much is a fairy tale.

A Wrinkle In Time
A Wrinkle in Time
Madeline L' Engle
Meg's father went missing, and she has no idea where he could have possibly gone. If her mom knows, it doesn't look like she is going to tell Meg. It's a pretty neat science fiction, but most of my friends have already read it.

The Neptune Project
The Neptune Project
Polly Holyoke
A little like The Hunger Games, because the Western Collective is evil and Nere has to escape, but pretty original otherwise. It's about a girl and a team of other kids genetically altered to live underwater.

When You Reach Me
When You Reach Me
Rebecca Stead
It's one of those books where at the beginning, it's kinda like a bunch of random string, and at the end the strings go together. It's a really clever approach to the fact that 'Anything can happen'

Jack Plank Tells Tales
Jack Plank Tells Tales
Natalie Babbitt
It's pretty short,but it's super good. It's about a pirate who decides he isn't the right guy to be pirating, so he moves into an inn and tries to find a job, and tells stories about his pirating. It's cooler than it sounds, though (Trust me).
