The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

By Sherman Alexie

This story is about an Indian teenager named Junior (also named) Arnold Spirit who met a lot of tragedies and obstacles. This book taught me an important lesson: “Life Is Not Perfect”. Some parts in the story were sad and some parts happened so sudden that I wished that I could make changes to it. Also, Junior in the story was really brave, braver than anyone I met before. If I was him, I would never go to that all-white school and I would never join the basketball team. Even if I transferred to the all-white school, I wouldn’t have the courage to meet my one and only friend Rowdy, and I wouldn’t have the guts to talk to my crush Penelope. His persistence determined me that everyone could cross the border and do the same thing that he did. This is a hilarious, sad and awe-inspiring story.

The Uncommoners #2: The Shadows of Doom

The Uncommoners #2: The Shadows of Doom

By Jennifer Bell

I read this book and the first one which is called The Crooked Sixpence. I really liked this book where a girl and her brother Seth continue their adventure in Lundinor with their Grandma this time. The only thing that I did not get was why the title is The Shadows of Doom because it doesn't have anything like that in the book. Maybe I just didn't notice it, but it does sound pretty scary.

It Wasn't Me

It Wasn't Me

By Dana Alison Levy

I also had to read this for BOTB and honestly, it might have been my favorite of the 10. It was kind of easy to predict, but at the same time the story was really interesting and so I never really had time to think about how it might end, just about what was going on in the moment. It definitely reminds me of a lot of people I know, and I could actually see little pieces of myself in all the characters. I think it was pretty good!!

Mary Downing Hahn's Haunting Tales

Mary Downing Hahn's Haunting Tales

By Mary Downing Hahn

These books are my all time favorites. I enjoyed All the Lovely Bad Ones the most. These books all have ghosts, but they are not that scary. Just scary enough to send a chill down your back. I highly recommend it to kids who want to start reading scary books but don't want to be up all night with nightmares. If you enjoy these books then you probably also enjoy The Doll In the Garden by Mary Downing Hahn.
