From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess: Meg Cabot; Read by Kathleen McInerney
By Meg Cabot
Olivia is a totally average girl. The only things not average about her that she's half-orphaned, her name is too long, and she has the ability to draw animals (very useful). She has never met her father. Her mother died, so she's living with her aunt and uncle. They never give her any Coke, or let her play on any electronics. She wonders why if they let her cousins play on them. Olivia's best friend suggests they are thieves. But something totally not average happens at school one day- The most popular girl in the school, Annabelle Jenkins, who Olivia thought was her friend, threatens to beat her up. She gets a demerit. She gets knocked down on the bus stop. But the thing that really surprised her was when that all was happening, an angel came to save her. Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up in her limbo and asks Olivia to go to a place of her destination. Of course, New York City to meet her Father!

Bridge Home, The
By Padma Venkatraman
This book is really magnificent. It is really hard to grasp when reading it, that this was some children's lives. I am the kind of reader that after I finish a book, it sticks in my head for a couple of days. I always imagine what I would do in the position of the main character. This book was one of the firsts where I couldn't do that. It is written so well that it is hard to imagine different endings, or different ways that different parts could have gone. This was also probably the very first book that I cried during (granted I was reading this at 10:00 at night and that is not my bedtime so that could had something to do with it) and it is amazing. It is told as a very very long letter that the main character Viji, wrote to her sister (who isn't with her but I'm not telling you why) Rukku, who has a developmental disability. She writes, the story of them living under a bridge with 2 boys. She writes about how they would scrounge through garbage piles looking for things to trade in for money. They were living under the bridge because they were forced to runaway when there father, who mainly abused there mother, started abusing them. It is a story of trust and surviving. I loved this book and think everyone should read it. It is again really hard to grasp that all of this could've happened to some children. That there is a majority of homeless, orphan children living on the streets. It is a great book as I've mentioned and think that everyone (as I've mentioned) should read it.
