ACT book (other than PR, Kaplan & the official)

I am planning to take the upcoming ACT and I have already used the Princeton Review, Kaplan and the Official one; is there any other books that you suggest?
also which is the best for science and reading?

McGraw Hill's 10 ACTs is excellent.

Success story: I raised my score six points and my essay two points with that book.

For science and reading, Barron's would be great practice. Due to the fact that Barron's tends to be more difficult, the reading and science questions on the real test will seem easy in comparison.
