National Geographic are always the best non-fiction books, and it would be nice to expand my knowledge!

I have yet to read this book, but if I can ever get my hands on it, I would definitely be overjoyed. I've read many of Raina Telgemeir's books including, Sisters, Smile, and Drama. All of them were amazing, with great humor, amazing plot lines, and beautiful illustrations. I have high hopes for Ghosts. The book is calling my name.

If I spent at least 3 months anazlying this book inside and out, pulling out quotes, finding the hidden meaning of each sentence, write numerous essays for school, and still find this book interesting, that means this story will not be waste of your time. I've read plenty of books and a numerous amount of them were twists on the classical fairy tales, just like Cinder. What differentiated Cinder from all the other books was its unique plot-line. It is a modernized version of Cinderella, but so many aspects about this book make it so much more different (and if I do say so myself, much better) than the classic tale. One thing I would love to point out is the main character, Cinder. Her personality is something between brave and outgoing, and I always love a hearty and confident main character. It's also nice to see that Cinder is not the stereotypical girl that finds interest in shoes and fashion (which isn't a problem in any way), but instead she is a mechanic who takes great interest in how things work, repairing technological devices, etc. Another thing that I couldn't help but admire Marissa Meyer for was her ability to create so many paths, twists, and curves in the story. One page you might think that you know exactly how the story will unravel, but in just three more sentences, you might find yourself reconsidering your beliefs. How can you not love a book that does that to you? Every single one of the events is a puzzle piece to the greater picture, and when you get to the end, you can't help but ask yourself, "How does anybody think of that many plot twists?" In its unique way, Cinder was its own mystery novel. Cinder was such a pure and well-written book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Join the TLC (The Lunar Chronicles) Fandom!!!

Before I can say anything, I need to address the AMAZING illustrations in this book. 10 out 10 for sure. The pictures were all very appealing, colorful, playful, adding to the beautiful quality of this book. I loved the story of this graphic novel. I've definitely read my share of graphic novels, and Smile was not a disappointment. Rain Telgemeier succeeds in making this book relatable and very realistic. One thing I hate about books is when all the characters and events that occur seem too far-stretched and very unlikely, but Smile was the complete opposite. Any teenager can relate. Just another thing I want to applause the author on is her ability to describe the pain of braces ever so accurately (first-hand experience and they're terrible -___-).

Books can do amazing things to people. They can change our mindsets, our thoughts, opinions, the list goes on, but Wonder isn't limited to the cliche themes of friendship and perseverance. All of those topics are amazing, but Wonder is different. Wonder addresses topics that some choose to ignore and may not even think about discussing. The book tells the the readers a story about a boy named August (or Auggie) born with facial deformity. Because of this, he is faced with many challenges hindering him and his motivation to blend into his new public school. As the book develops, us, readers, join Auggie on the journey of adjusting to his school and making new friends all the while, still trying to ignore the stares he receives, insults thrown at him, and the pain he experiences. This book was something that touched the deepest part of my heart. Honestly, finding a good book isn't that easy, even harder to find an extraordinary read, and even more rare, almost impossible, to come across something as tear-jerking and emotional as Wonder was. When you read the last page and find yourself closing the cover, you will let out a gasp from how hard the words on those very pages twisted your emotions, and just how full your heart is, now pumping with a new renewal of empathy, compassion, and motivation to be a better person.
