The Underland Chronicles #3: Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods
By Suzanne Collins
The series was really cool! Imagine a world where all your everyday creatures are oversized. That is what the UNDERWORLD is like in Gregor's land. He must venture out into the world and save Regalia, which is like Rome but a lot more modern, and dark. Collins wrote a book nothing like the hunger games, and I think all of the Collins fans out there should read it!
Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek
By Maya Van Wagenen
I found this book on a trip to Michigan in a cozy little bookstore, and this ended out to be a hysterically wonderful surprise! I still have my copy, and it's taught me much importance about staying true to myself. Popular isn't a theme, it's a category, but,... not unless you're happy with being an outsider.

Frozen Twisted Tale: Conceal, Don't Feel: A Twisted Tale
By Jen Calonita
This is 100% my favorite Disney Twisted Tale. When I first saw the little subtitle, "What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other?" I was so curious to see how that would actually work given how close the sisters are in the original movie. Of course, I can't say that I like this plot better than the original, but this should really be turned into a movie. That would be soooo cool!

Lucky Broken Girl
By Ruth Behar
Ruthie is just a young girl living in New York City, trying to achieve the American dream until those dreams are put on the line after a car accident that leaves her very injured. The story follows Ruthie's journey to recovery, forgiveness, hope, and love. I loved this book so so much for not only the thought provoking bits and life lessons, but for the melting pots of cultures that were conveyed. Because this is largely based off of the author's own experience, it has a personal touch that couldn't have been added otherwise. First of all, the life lessons and thought provoking bits. I loved Ruthie and I think anyone could sympathize with her hopefulness and kindness. I also loved how her recovery process was used in such a way that Ruthie had to grow up fast and learned so many life lessons like forgiveness, following your dreams, etc. The one complaint I would have is that I felt that sometimes, because Ruthie was bedridden, the story dragged a little. I also loved the other main component I took away from the book, which is that America is a melting pot. One of her friends was Indian, another was fluent in French and English and was from Belgium, their apartment neighbor was from Mexico, and Ruthie's extended family (all Cuban) were featured heavily. I also loved how whenever these cultures were brought up, they were always very warm and celebrated their culture (her parents dancing, their culture of food, her friend's mother making pastries, etc.) and I felt like I learned something about each of the cultures. Ultimately, this book showed one girl's story of recovery while learning about forgiveness and hope, and was able to celebrate cultures from all over the world without making the book all about culture/religion. The book shows that you should always follow your dreams because in America, it's a melting pot- anyone can achieve anything.

Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food
By Charles Wilson, Eric Schlosser
It was an interesting thesis on the fast food in america. It thoroughly explained where the food originated and how it was made. I thought it was both funny and revolting. The story ended with the readers gaining another perspective about their diet. What we consume is important in our daily lives.
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
By E.L. Konigsburg
E. L. Konigsburg is one of my favorite authors. This story was about one girl named Claudia, and one boy named Jamie. They decide to run away from their house because they think their parents were too bossy to them. They decide to run away to the Metropolitan Museum, which was kind of weird in my personal way. It was amazing how they didn't get noticed in the beginning, but at the end, they get to a newspaper and got caught from their parent's notice to to the FBI. I love this book. Out of 100, I would give this book 100.
