Dead End in Norvelt (Norvelt Series)
By Jack Gantos
Before reading this book I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be an amazing book. I read it with my class, because the teacher assigned it to us and couldn't put it down. Though it isn't entirely true story, the author, Jack Gantos, used his name for the main character and some characters are based off real people. Jack, a kid who has grown up in Norvelt his whole life, and when nervous gets bloody noses, is just starting summer vacation. But when he does some things that upsets his mother and one final act to set her off, he finds himself spending his time with Miss Volker, the old woman nearby, and the rest grounded in his house. Miss Volker has been it Norvelt her whole life and knows everyone there so she's in charge off the obituaries for the local paper. But whats starts as a normal summer job (against Jack's will) , turns into a mystery as the old ladies of Norvelt start dropping dead and can only take Miss Volker and Jack to get to the bottom of. It is a very fun book that will be making you beg for the second, just like it did to me, but luckily it will be coming out sooooon!!!!!!!

Sold
By Patricia McCormick
This book is AMAZING. Words cannot express how well the author did on writing this book. It is a very depressing story about a thirteen year old girl name Lakshmi, and her experience with the cruelty in this world. Lakshmi is a typical, poor hill girl. One day her step father decides to let her work as a maid in the city to earn money for the family. But when she visits the city, she finds out that she is not actually there to become a maid but something she never imagined doing in her lifetime. I must warn you this is a very depressing story as it progresses . It can be a lot for young readers to handle. But this book is a very inspiring and excellent book, I highly suggest this book to everyone.
