My New Favorite Book


I just finished a book called Kiki Strike: Inside the Shadow City, and now I am on the 2nd one in the series, The Empress's Tomb. It is now one of my favorite books! I would totally recommend it to anyone that is about 11 and up because there are some things that are hard to understand. Here's the whole description that is on the book:

Life will never be the same for Ananka Fishbein after she ventures into and enormous sinkhole near her New York City apartment. Climbing down a filthy rope ladder deeper and deeper into the ground to find a mysterious underground room, Ananka knows she has stumbled upon a big secret, but she has no idea exactly how big. Not only does she discover the long-forgotten Shadow City beneath Manhattan's bustling streets, she meets the mysterious Kiki Strike, a black-clad, Vespa-riding, cafe-au-lait- drinking girl who seems to appear and vanish like magic. A million rats, five delinquent Girl Scouts out for revenge, and a secret city below the streets of Manhattan combine in this remarkable novel about a darker side of New York City you have just begun to know about...

There's a lot more to it though. But it is SO good! It's by Kirsten Miller so maybe you could check it out! Because it is one of the best books I have ever read!
