The book that I read was But What About Me? by Marilyn Reynolds. This book tells the story of this young girl name Erica who eventually falls in love with this new guy in her work. They are both the same age and have many things in common. Their relationship seems perfect. But as soon as her boyfriend’s mom dies, everything changes. Danny, Erica’s boyfriend, starts drinking, messing up in school, just going in the wrong direction and Erica tries to fix his life. She loves him so much that she doesn’t care what she has to do but as long as Danny is safe. After a couple of days, things get worst and Erica doesn’t notices but she is messing up her life by fixing his boyfriends. She even goes through a serious accident that totally changed her life. Finally after “everything” happened she realizes that she needs to start from 0, that she needs to spend more time for her. And that’s what she ends up doing.

A book I just read was Rooftop by Paul Volponi. The book starts out with two boys, cousins that are in a rehab center. They are in this rehab center for doing drugs and for selling them. They start to change after a short times in the center. They start to understand what’s wrong and right, what they need to do to make it in life. . One night one of the boys sees someone that owes him money and chases him to a rooftop. On that rooftop in that night everything changes with a single gun shot. Now one of the boys is left alone, left to dell with what he must do. Tell the truth or keep it a lie even if it kills him. Rooftop is a great book with a powerful message in its words.
-Luis Sanchez The book is The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky this book is a really good book that gets people attention by its front cover and the describing of the book in the back .Well this book is about a young boy named Charlie that experience thing of his life that happened to him and his family. He experiences what is like to grow up in high school. It’s basically a dairy of his life they are unique, hilarious and devastating. He is caught trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. I recommend this book because is a book of a boy that barely started high school and getting from one point to the other if you like to read about sex, drugs this is the right book that you would like to read.
Susana Espinoza A Time for Dancing is a book that garbs your attention in every way. It’s a book that has to do with the real world. In my opinion this books could real teach you a lot in many ways. If you have someone you really love and has cancer you will relate to this book. I also liked it because once you start to read the book it takes you into another world were there is suspense and you don’t know what is going to happen. I recommend this book to people that like sad stories.
Viviana Baez One of the books I currently read was Swallowing Stones. This book is about this boy that steals his dads gun and shows it of to his friend and one day they decide to shoot it up in the air a couple times and a few miles down where he lives that same day and that same hour he shoots it the father of a girl is shot by a bullet that came from the sky later that day he hears on the news cast what happen and he fears it was him so he burry’s the gun and his friend is telling him to say the truth. The girl through out the book is trying to find out who killed her father so she can get revenge. This is a really good book I recommended it because it’s like a mystery.
Louie Munoz A Child Called It By Dave Pelzer this book about this little boy is very hurt by his family. His mother hits him and they’re no one that he can’t talk to. There was a day that he ran away and he was hungry so he picked in the trashcan for food. Every day for him was hard cause he thought that he was going to a foster home around because what happens in his house. He had it go to family to go to foster home and when that came he was happy. He went to a family that listened to him and feed him. He had his own bed to sleep; now he doesn’t have to sleep on the floor no more cold. He started school where he was comfortable and people not talking about him.
-Adriana Murguia If you like mysterious books about drugs, revenge, and the life of a troubled adolescent, then Go Ask Alice by Anonymous would be exactly what you’re looking for. This book is an actual diary of a fifteen year old average girl whose life went into a gradual downpour after a run in with drugs. It all started with an unexpected collision with LSD at a “so called” friend’s party; from there on she was hooked. Soon she starts to realize the guilt and pain that drugs cause in one’s life and tries to cease her addiction, but nevertheless every where she goes, drugs follow. I would strongly recommend this book to other students because of how it shows you the danger of drugs and what may be in store in your future if you abuse them.
-Andrew Garcia The book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossseini, is very interesting and descriptive. There are some parts that were so shocking and unbelievable! I didn’t like the part where Hassan gets raped and Amir just stands there and watches how they do that to the poor little boy. When I read this part I wanted to cry. How could someone do something like that to a boy, especially to a boy who hadn’t done anything wrong? I also couldn’t believe what Amir did so that Hassan and Ali, his servants for more than forty years, could leave his house and stop serving his family. I haven’t finished the book but I hope that Amir finds Hassan and apologizes for everything he did to him and his father.
-Stephanie Ayala I strongly recommend the book If You Loved Me by Marilyn Reynolds. This is a great book because it is very romantic. Its about a girl named Lauren and she had a very hard life growing up she had a drug addict mother and her father had left her she had a lot of anger towards them since they never seemed to care. Her mother however had died in a fire trying to save her and her father was also dead to her since he had left her. She moved in with her grandmother and was very happy there she had a boyfriend which they had a very close bond. As time passed her boyfriend was acting very strange well it came out to be that he had cheated on her with a girl from school named Shawna. She had a very hard time since he was the only thing that she had. Time passed by and her father Jack came back trying to make everything better between them she gave him a chance. At the end she ended happy giving her father Jack a second time and also with Tyler she forgave him. I think this book is really good and I strongly recommend this book as you are reading it time goes by flying and it is very good.
