Hey It's Nisha and I'm going to tell you about 6 books I've read in the past 2 weeks.










The first books is called Sand Dollar Summer. I would give it a B+. It was pretty good though, and of corse I liked the ending.




Have you ever thought that if one thing hadn't happened, a whole set of things never would have either? Like dominoes in time, a single event kicked off an unstoppable series of changes that gained momentum and spun out of conrol, and nothing was ever the same again.





Twelve-year-old Lise watches her safe world fall apart when her strong self-reliant mom is injured in a car accident. To recuparate, mom takes Lise and her bright little brother to live in a rattletrap house on the beach in Maine for the summer. Although her mother grew up there, this is Lise's first experience with the ocean....and she's terrified.





The next book is called The Adoration of Jenna Fox. I'd give this book an A. I definitley liked the ending and it's actually sad in a way, but I still liked it.


Sometime in the near future now 18-year-old Jenna Fox awakens from an 18 month long coma following a devistating accident, her memory nearly blank. She attempts reorientation by watching videos of her childhood "recorded beyond reason" by worshipful parents, Jenna can recite passages from Thoreau yet can't remember having any friends. As memories return, however, Jenna starts picking at the explanation her parents have spun until it unravels. Clues are supplied by the supporting cast: Jenna's father, who made his fortune in biotechnologhy; a classmate whose loss of limbs has turned her into a crusader for medical ethics, Jenna's catholic grandmother, who is hostile to her. A few lapses in logic- if Jenna's father is world famous and the family is hiding, why does she enroll in under her real name?.........Read it to find out:)






The next book is called Th1rteen R3asons why, I'd give this book an A-, it was pretty sad but overall it was pretty good.



Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker-his classmate and crush-who committed suicide two weeks earlier.



On tape Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them, and if he listens he'll find out why and how he made the list.


Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves and intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.





The next book is called Every Soul a Star. This book was fantastic, I'd give it an A+. It is one that I would really recomend.



Ally, Bree, and Jack meet at the one place the Great Eclipse can be seen in totality, each carrying the burden of their own problems, whick become dim when compared to the task they embark upon and the friendship they find.







The next book is called 11 Birthdays. It's by the same author as Every Soul A Star(Wendy Mass) so of course it's great. I'd give it an A.






It's Amanda's 11th birthday and she's super excited-- after all, 11 is so different from 10. But from the start everything goes wrong. The worst part of it all is that she and her best friend, Leo, with whom she shared every birthday, are on the outs and this will be the first birthday they haven't shared together. When Amanda turns in for the night, glad to have her birthday behind her, she wakes up happy for a new day. Or is it? Her birthday seems to be repeating itself. Whats going on? And how can she fix it? Only time, friendship, and a little luck will tell...







The next book is called Wintergirls. This book was really good. I'd give it an A. It was also pretty sad, but it turned out to be a great book.




"Dead girl walking" the boys say in the halls. "Tell us your secret" the girls whisper, one toilet to another. I am that girl. I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through. I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.




Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest, but what comes after size zero, double zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her friends restless spirit.



In her most emotionally wrentching, lyrically written book since the multiple-award-winning Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's descent into the powerful vortex of anorexia, and her painful path toward recovery.
