Leprechaun Event RaT: Read-a-Thon Daily Recommendations: Day 3

Mod
Through this read-a-thon, we're going to recommend books in the hopes of putting a ton more books on our TBR! With recommendations ~
╰⊰✿ Recommendations Thread for Recommendations ONLY! Separate threads will be for Chat/Interactions and so on. Please only make your Recommendations, and nothing else, in the Recommendations Thread!
╰⊰✿ Try to recommend something not extremely popular (no Harry Potter!) We want to get new books and with extremely big series/books, people already know about them. Give us something new to want!
╰⊰✿ REMEMBER: Our group is an ALL AGES group. Please no recommendations of a mature nature. Gore and violence is ok (it's in Hunger Games after all) but nothing too over the top and no erotica please. (Members of the Back Room may make recommendations there, be on the lookout for a mini Back Room version of this read-a-thon!)

I chose to do the Spell-It-Out that would earn me 5 LCs. If any of them have a cover that could be considered yellow, that's just a happy accident. All of these books are from my Favorites shelf; my 4, 4.5., or 5 star shelves; or my favorite author's "shelf." Most of them have reviews, if you're interested in my thoughts. And most of them I want to reread soon, thanks to having looked them up for this Recommendation task. ;-)N

Oh! And I stuck to first-in-series books only for series that I love (and that fit). ;-)

Side notes:
- Not enough people seem to read The Black Stallion despite the fact that it's a classic, plus there's an entire series, so I put it on here.
- Not very many people have actually read the Little House on the Prarie series, so I put the first one on here.
- It's the same with the Anne of Green Gables series - they are not very commonly read classics. That and the fact that most people only read the first few books.
- I added The Nose Book because I recently volunteered in a Kindergarten classroom and thought it was really fun, and everyone likes a little simple fun every now and then.
- I have to say that I only started Navigating Early and The Night Circus and didn't have time to finish them, but I loved them and totally recommend them.
