2. Sold By: Patricia McCormick- I saw this book when I was picking out my summer reading book Divergent. I read the first 10 pages and already found myself hooked into the book. It is about a 13 year old girl named Lakshmi, who has recently been sold into prostitution by her father. When I found out that this book was a non-fiction book and this happens often in India I was astonished. I just could not believe her own father would do such a horrific thing. This book is what is behind the closed curtains, this is whats happening in the real world.
3. Mrs.Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children By: Ransom Riggs- This book was recommended to me by a friend. I liked this book a lot, but it is very unrealistic, that it almost comes off as a child had written it. Between the invisible man, the girl who has the ability to fly, and monster with squid tentacles coming out of his mouth I became curious in that this is what children stories were about. I later found out that there was a world beneath a world. This book is defiantly not for everyone, but I recommend it because of its imaginative plot line. Which is once Jacobs grandfather dies, after being attacked by a man with an octopus mouth, he sets out to go to this mysterious island that his grandpa told him about as a child.
4. Divergent & Invergent By: Veronica Roth-It was obligatory that I read Divergent for summer reading. At first I didn't like it, I thought that this book was just emulating the Hunger Games, but I was quickly proven wrong. Yes, there are some common things between them, like how they are both separated by different characteristic; one into factions and other into districts, but there are many differences as well. I loved this book overall I believe that I was lost in that world, I would read for multiple hours at a time. Though, this book was brilliant, I would not recommend it to anybody out of, or yet in there teens. I believe this because it is not challenging nor interesting enough for people above 17, but a little too mature for 11 year olds to be reading this.
5. Romeo & Juliet By: William Shakespeare- This book was also mandatory for me to read. I had very low expectations for this book, because of my lack comprehending this Shakespeare's language. Though I did not know that my former teacher had one with definitions on the side that were most commonly unknown to the public eye. I loved this book, I thought this book was written beautifully in every way possible, I recommend it to everyone over 13.
