What to Read in March

By Sophia Fu, 8th Grade

The best book to read in March! Or anytime, really!

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

This is an exciting and poignant young adult fantasy novel, about a heist. This is one of my favorites! Just a disclaimer, some topics of death are mentioned, so be aware of your reading level and maturity, but I really recommend this one! The characters are beautifully written, and their banter is so heartwarming, it can make you laugh out loud!

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is a poignant and heart-wrenching narrative, chronicling the experience led by Kaz Brekker and his comrades as they journey deep into the center of Fierda, into the impenetrable Ice Court for an impossible heist. Kaz, a convict, aged only 17, is cold and ruthless, cunning and conniving, yet would do anything for money. And in a dangerous quest of outrageous proportions offering 30 million kruge, he could do nothing but accept. Jurda parem, a powerful stimulant when used on the magical Grisha, is a drug poised perfectly to be a tool of extreme destruction to the Grishaverse. And Kaz has been sent to capture Bo Yul-Bayur - the Shu scientist responsible for creating the jurda - to prevent others from using it for their greed. The drug has proven its capabilities in overwhelming the recipients, which allows them to perform with otherworldly power just for another dose of the captivating stimulant. With imminent danger lurking around every corner, the six unlikely companions must find a way to collaborate for their greater good.

By the way, the Six of Crows duology and Grisha trilogy are being adapted into a Netflix series!
