Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Spells & Sleeping Bags
by

Every little girl, or boy, wishes to be have magic powers, otherwise known as being a witch. Now, imagine that coming true. Rachel, the main character of this book, is going to camp and finally grows into her powers of being a witch. Her little sister and mom grew into their powers a while ago. Now is her time to shine and show off (well, to only wizards and witches) her new powers. This book is the part of a series called Manhattan Magic, it is the third one in the series. I have never read the other two before, but I assume they are very good, considering how good this book was. There is also a book after this called Parties and Potions. Anyway, Rachel, while at camp, falls head-over-heals in love with this guy named Raf. He is her dream guy. The only problem is that any time he asks her out she has "witch studying" with her sister. This book has so many themes that you will love. Spells and Sleeping Bags has me in a spell whenever I read it!

Within this book, Flipped, a girl finds her "true love" and a boy meets his match in the weirdest way. Bryce, a boy who moved into Juli's neighborhood in 2nd grade, is trying his hardest to STAY AWAY FROM JULI BAKER. This "motto" plays in Bryce's head all day long, but never quite works. Juli Baker. In love since 2nd grade with Bryce Loski. Her dream guy, but something she does not know about him is, well him! She knows he has big, beautiful eyes but what else? Flipped is a story that describes a journey of two kids growing up together. When one of them falls head-over-heals for the other, there is always something to break that up. Flipped really is flipped!

Chronicles of Prydain 01 Book Of Three
by

Adventure, suspense, cliff-hangers, and my favorite, comedy. The Book of Three has all of these characteristics, and more. With themes so true that you can use them for yourself. But my favorite theme in this book is about friendship. You need to trust your friends to get to where you are now. I also believe that, in yourself, there is a little part of your friends. So without them, you wouldn't be who you are today. On the other hand, this book also brought me sorrow from one of the characters we lose during the journey. But how about some positives? The main character in this book is a young teenager named, Taran. He wants to be a hero, but instead, he becomes an Assistant-Pig-Keeper. Sounds boring and grotesque, right? Well, not when you get to take care of an oracular pig named Hen Wen. After the pig runs off, he chases after it and bumps into the evil Horned King, another character. Shortly after this, Gwydion, the prince of Caer Dathyl, helps him because the Horned King slashed him. Taran and Gwydion find out that they are both going after Hen Wen and decide to look for her together. Now is when Taran's journey starts. The adventure starts, the suspense starts, the whole book starts. I'm not saying this is the best book I've ever read, but it is an entertaining book, especially because of the comedy Lloyd Alexander dashes in there. To me, this is a great mix of adventure, suspense, and comedy all in one exciting book.
