The book I read was sold by Patricia McCormick witch is nonfiction book. The book is about a 13 year old girl whose name is Lakshmi. His step dad tricks her that she was going to the city to be a maid, but little did she know she would be sold to prostitution. My favorite part of the book is Lakshmi get help and risk it knowing if she gets caught she would get brutal punishment. I recommend this book because the author describes everything. I hope you read and enjoy the book Sold by Patricia McCormick.

A CHILD CALLED “IT” by Dave Pelzer. This book was about a kid named David. He was an innocent six year all this happened. His alcoholic mother would torture him everyday. She wouldn’t treat him like her son, she would treat him like a slave. She wouldn’t feed him everyday if he didn’t finish his chores. She would say that he was a bad boy. My favorite part of the book is when David stood up to his mom. I recommend this book because its very interesting and it’s a true story.
-Aurora Fernandez The book that I've read was called "The Fault In Our Stars" by John Green. The book is about a young girl named Hazel Grace and a young boy named Augustus Waters, who had different cancer conditions. Hazel and Augustus meet at a cancer support group and fell in love. My favorite part was when Augustus gave his wish to Hazel so she could be able to meet Peter Van Houten who wrote her favorite book. I recommend this book because even though people have an illness and want to be left alone there is someone out there who wants to change the way you feel about yourself and won't judge you and they would also be there thru everything no matter how hard the situation is. It's a very amazing ending and its some what as the movie but the book has more details than the movie.
Guadalupe Garcia A book that I recently read that I really enjoyed was “Into The Wild” by Jon Krakauer. I read it because it was a book that my teacher required me to read for our class assignments. I did not know that I would grow to enjoy it very much.
Its genre would be classified as non-fiction. This novel was very different from a lot of books I have read in the past. The book’s focus was on the main character Christopher McCandless and his journey to live in the wild in Alaska. Many people that he met throughout the whole novel did not understand why he was so motivated to Alaska because of the wealth he was surrounded by. Even Chris’s parents did not understand his drive to get away from civilization. Chris’s parents describe him as acting like a normal boy while he was growing up. It was in college that he began to become disillusioned by his parent’s wealth and with society. His friends described him as becoming an outcast and spending all of his time reading instead of going to parties or socializing. That was my favorite part of the book because that is when Chris begins to make a lot of realizations and I liked seeing him grow as a person because then I could personally connect to what he was thinking while he attended college. I wish I could have personally met Chris because he sounds like he was a great person. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and reading about personal growth or “finding” yourself. It was very amazing to read about his journey through the United States to get to Alaska. Even though the ending might disappoint people, it is still a great novel and should be read by everyone. - Kristin Ortega The book I am going to be reviewing is called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. The book is about a boy named Charlie who is dealing with the loss of his friend Michael which he grew up with in school. Charlie writes journal entries to let out his emotions and tells stories to an anonymous stranger as he goes through them in high school with new people. My favorite part is when Charlie goes to his first high school party. At first he doesn't know what he is doing there but then he gets into the party mode by eating a "bud brownie". He later can think of nothing but wanting a milkshake and after he gets his milk shake the people at the party make a toast to Charlie celebrating that he is a wallflower and he understands things. If you like to read about the things teenagers go through and the things they have to face in high school, I really recommend you to read this book. Again I hope you read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky.
Jason Godoy The book I am reading is named “A child called it “ By Dave Pelzer. A child called it” By Dave Pelzer is about a boy named Dave who was beaten and starved by his own alcoholic mother who “played” many “games” to torture him until she nearly left him dead. I didn’t have favorite part i think the mother was a horrible person and shouldn’t have done any of these horrible things to a innocent child. If you are against child abuse or had gone through a situation like Dave's it will interest you. I recommend you read this book.
- Jasmine Alcantar The book i am currently reading is Monster. Monster is about a LA gangmember and his life as a gangmemeber in the "south side" south central. I really enjoyed this book because I like reading fiction books and reading about peoples life. I do recommend this book for someone to read if they enjoy fiction.
-Yazmine Tamayo Over the aspect of a few weeks I’ve come to finish a book called “The chronicles of Nick: Infinity.” It is a fiction supernatural book full of surprises that readers will come to enjoy. The book tells of a young boy Nick Gautier who is a average kid, he’s smart and strong willed, but his life isn’t exactly as good as its meant out to be, he has a striper for a mother and is determined to protect her, but on a faithful night Nick gets caught up with the wrong crowd as he takes place in the robbing of a elderly couple, but things go sour as his life is forever changed as Kyrian Hunter is now introduced. Nick is exposed to the true natures of the world and soon learned that life is never as it seems, he learns of his true nature and the dark powers that are within. Nick fights to remain pure along side Caleb and the gang as an evil now emerges from ground under, but little does he know the battle is not just from the outside. The battle is also deep within him.
The story creates a connection of sense of knowledge and helps build esteem as you come across the personal stories of everyone. It helps you view life in another perspective. If you’re a fan of paranormal fiction then this is the book for you! It creates a wild ride that will make sure you will surely get into the story. The moral is to proclaim, don’t ever let other people or personal conditions get the best of you, let that be the opportunity to truly shows what you really want out of life. -Beatriz Juarez Cornelius "kernel" has spent his whole life seeing strange glowing shapes which he could manipulate and join together.

-Christopher Lopez The Burn Journals is an awesome book to read from beginning to end.You would definitely get hooked,and you wont stop reading it.Caution you will be Hooked.\
It all starts off as Brent the main character of the story also the author being the praised child. the child who is going to succeed with so many high expectations something goes terribly wrong. Brent's whole life is going to change.When something ignites it usually terribly bad, in this case Brents the one that ignites. My favorite part was when Brent poured the gasoline all over himself and raised the match in one hand. I recommend this book to whoever likes a book with a strong stomach and to those who like people who gon through so many hardships yet they still manage to succeed in life. Definitely grab this book. You wont regret it!!! -Edgar Enriquez |
