   These are the only three books I've finished reading. The first one is a new book, still reading, but I think the plot is okay, and its appeal lies in its subject matter, so I'd give it a 2.5-Star recommendation. The second one has three versions; this one is a combined version. "No Taboos" is undeniably fantastic, a 5-star recommendation. The third one has a very well-written plot. The protagonist and his sister are chosen by two mysterious people and sent to a parallel universe's Earth. After completing the first level, "Peppa Pig," the "Strange Tales of Rules" gives Fanfan to the protagonist, which I didn't expect, a 4-star recommendation.
