The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian was written by Sherman Alexie. It is about a teenage Indian boy going to high school at a school with primarily white people. When I read this I felt many different emotions throughout the book. I thought that this was a very good read and I would recommend this book.
1984
1984 was written by George Orwell in 1949. It is about a Utopian Society with a very controlling government. When reading this book I felt confused because this book made me wonder about our own government. This book was not something I personally enjoyed reading but I know many people who did enjoy it.
The Circuit
The Circuit was a true story written by Francisco Jimenez. It is about a young undocumented immigrant living in America. When reading this book I felt like I was o a roller coaster of emotions. There were times I was happy and times that I felt sympathy. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to people who wonder more about children perspectives in tough situations.
Persepolis
Persepolis is a true story written by Marjane Satrapi. It's a graphic novel from the perspective of a young girl during and after the Islamic Revolution. This story made me really think about children from around the world. It made me wonder about their past and what some people have to go through. I recommend this book as a good quick read. All of the pages had pictures so we read the book fast.
Time's Memory
Time's Memory was written by Julius Lester. It took place in slave trading times. It was a strange book about many different consents. It involved religion, love, slaves and more. It took me awhile to understand the book because it was confusing at times, but at the end I enjoyed it. It was a very deep story that I am glad I read. I would recommend this to other people.
Chinese Cinderella
Chinese Cinderella is an autobiography written by Adeline Yen Mah. She is a child in China who isn't wanted by her family. When reading this book I was very happy at times, but also very sad. I got sucked into this book very fast and I enjoyed it very much. Honestly, I was unsure bout my choice of books at the beginning but at the end I loved it. This is one of my favorite reads this year. I would definitely recommend it to others.
