We asked some reporters to read and review some of the season’s best books. Here’s what they had to say.

A Million Views

Brewster Gaines is an energetic child. He wants to be like his favorite YouTube stars and get a million views with one surprising video. But Brewster comes to understand it doesn’t matter how many views your video gets. What matters is the people you team up with to make those videos. Readers who appreciate a story that shows the power of friendship will find themselves unable to put down this fascinating novel by Aaron Starmer. A Million Views focuses on the joy of life beyond the Internet. —By Mason Langer

Odder

Odder is a sea otter who loves to somersault(翻筋斗) and swim in the ocean. After her mother is swept away by a storm, Odder is rescued. Eventually, her caretakers release her back into the wild. Things are going well until Odder meets a great white shark. She’s rescued once more. Will Odder ever see the ocean again? This book, by Newbery Medalist Katherine Applegate, is written in free verse(诗). It’s based on a true story from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in California. Anyone who loves animals and rescue stories should read it. —By Audrey Kim
