Recs if you like The False Prince (Ascendance, #1)...

Books where one of the main character(s) pretends to be someone they’re not—literally. Always open to suggestions!

These books contain little to no spice🩷 Double checked by me, fellow reviewers, & romance.io, but if there's still a mistake, please do correct! Only 1 book per author

that are actually incredible and completely slept on

also I use fantasy lightly, there's some dystopian and sci-fi in here too :)

yeah these are just books i really liked okay (the thrashers is like an honorable mention..not on the same level of peak as the rest but good enough to make it)

my middle school reads were basically all dystopian. everyone was reading them (if you were cool) and I was obsessed with them (and I still am). all of the books included in this list are the first book in the series. also, all of these book were published in the 2010s, even if they were not popular during those times

series + standalones that i personally vouch for, all written by women

Sam and my booktalk books

fantasy i loved as a kid/teen and i still love now, aka good kids fantasy that doesn't include Harry Potter and Percy Jackson hahaha

Use to be a middle school library para, so here’s some books I’ve read that are appropriate for middle school :)

(I am only gonna put the first one since there's a lot of series that are longer. I have removed those who are sequels)
