Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story

Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story

By Nora Raleigh Baskin

I read this book in my class for read aloud. It is a nine eleven story from different perspectives. One is a muslim girl her name is Naheed, the second is a teenage boy named Will who lives in Pennsylvania, and a african-american kid named Sergio. I think they all had these perspectives to show how everyone was affected by it in a different way. Naheed got affected by it because she wore a hijab and she was Muslim, and the terrorists were Muslim. Will gets affected because a while before the attack his father passed away, and on the attack one plane hit a field close to his neighborhood so he saw that plane. Sergio had problems himself because he could pretty much hear the attack because he lived in NY, and he won some educational award so he got money and his father who never even showed up EVER in his life suddenly came because he wanted part of the money. If you are at the library or a bookstore please pick up this book.

Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere

Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere

By Julie T. Lamana

I recently read this book! It is really good. It pulls at your heartstrings, though! If you don not like sad stories, DON'T read this book. It is good though. I am not a person who cries easily, and even this book made me teary-eyed. I loved Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere!

All Fall Down (Embassy Row, Book 1)

All Fall Down (Embassy Row, Book 1)

By Ally Carter

All Fall Down is an AWESOME novel! It's about 16 year old Grace who has a problem. She vividly remembers her mother's murder. She remembers the Scarred Man, and the flames, and her mother's last words, "Grace, no!" A Grace moves to Embassy Row in Adria, where countries's ambassadors reside, she meets many people. There's Grandpa, her stubborn grandfather who refuses to let Grace think the death is not an accident and pays for her therapists with his ambassador-of-America money. There's Ms. Chancellor, who knows Grace's mother and wants to be Grace's friend. There's Noah, Rosie, and Megan, three Embassy Row kids who have some hidden talents. Then Alexei, the Russian ambassador's kid who keeps tabs on Grace for stupid reasons(according to Grace). And then there's the Scarred Man, who lives on Embassy Row. Grace tells Noah, Rosie, and Megan about her mother's death, and they help her keep tabs on him. But everything in Grace's world falls down once she learns three terrible truths: the Scarred Man is the right man at the night of her mother's death, he didn't kill her mother, and the last one shatters her. When everyone says it's an accident, they were right; Grace killed her mother. Of course, Ally Carter couldn't fit every adventure of Grace's into this book, so the series continues. Next time I go to the library, I will definitely get the next two books.

this book made me really sad! it emphasizes the value of friendship, some parts are unrealistic, but the author mentions that she compromised realistic parts for the story.

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby is personally too deep for me to understand and dissolve all of it. This story was based on the Jazz Age, when the rich and fabulous were having marvelous parties after World War I. I like Jordan Baker the most in this story, because even though she is cynical, I think she was wise and knew a lot of things. Daisy was the person I don’t admire the most. Although she was beautiful and men were infatuated by her, but I feel like she was just a pretty shell without a deep soul. Her desires weren’t realistic and she was greedy. However, she reminded me and taught me to not become someone that resembles her. I saw there are a lot of things that weren’t reveal. I learnt that the world is make up of greed, lies, and insidiously and undoubtedly, reality. It’s hard to face the truth that people are actually selfish creatures that often think about themselves. People are fickle, like plants, we often choose the way that benefit us the most. It might sound disappointed and dark, but sadly and truly, it’s the truth.

Carry On: A Novel

Carry On: A Novel

By Rainbow Rowell

Jess

I absolutely loved this book! The plot left me always wanting to delve further into this universe, constantly seeking more answers and jumping into these characters lives. Also the representation in this book is brilliant. We see plus size, POC, LGBT+ characters and mental health is openly discussed. Also I find the romance between Simon and Baz to be one of the most beautiful queer relationships. It’s not just thrown together for the purpose of attracting readers, it is two broken souls finding comfort in one another, opening themselves up and breaking down walls as they start to begin a passionate and heartfelt relationship. The humour of the book gives a light hearted feel, but the themes are heavy to the attentive reader so I would advise being careful if you are sensitive to more mature content. It’s a must read for anyone who loves a good romance to die for, and get tissues! This book hits hard!
