This book is incredibly sweet and sad and makes my heart hurt. READ IT.
This book is about two girls who are brought together by their school's peer counseling program. Though one of them appears to be "normal" and the other would be more catagorised as a "freak" as they get to know each other they find out just how...well, screwed up the other is. It is pretty much a genius book. READ IT.
I read the first Son of the Mob book in middle school, but the second one came out after I graduated so I never got around to checking it out. It is a super-rad series about, big surprise, a son of the mob! I am definitely going to read this book, and you should, too!
Ummmm, need I say more?
I haven't actually read this book, but plan on getting it from the library. Apparently it is about King Arthur and all that fun stuff, which is quite genius. But it's in poetry.
I have been a wanna-be ballerina for pretty much my whole life, and when I was little I loved to read this book (with heaps of photos) about twin girls who dance in the New York City Ballet school. It really shows what it's like to be a ballerina, even the not-so glamourous parts like chewed up feet. Gross but amazing!
I have loved this book for forever...and haven't actually read it recently; something that I must rectify. It is one of my favourite children's books!!
Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.
