Finding Miracles by Julia Alveraz (sp)
She's a brilliant author who writse very well. This particuler story focuses on a girl who was adopted from a foreign country and how she deals with being adopted with the help of a friend etc etc etc its really nice.

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. A classic that's fantastic, wonderfully portrayed and heart breaking.
The movie "Charly" is based off of this book.

Also, Bloomability by Sharon Creech. It has a great message to it delivered in an interesting way. It's simple but enjoyable to read and it made me reaaaaally want to go to Switzerland.

Alice, I Think by Susan Juby. Okay, this book is hilarious. It's written from the perspective of a 'different', socially challenged girl who has been homeschooled because she made the mistake of going into grade one dressed up as a Hobbit. Her views on life are refreshing in ways that make you laugh out loud. Just make sure you're in a good mood when you're reading it.
There's two more books after this, which I haven't had the pleasure of reading and there's a television series based on it. Sah-weet. :tehe:

Missing Abby, this book is a amazingly good book and it goes by fast so it would be good incase of a book report or something like that.

The Game-Mandsue Heller.

Basically about two teenage girls who get involve ins some drug scandal. It's really good. :D

Saint Iggy.

1984, by George Orwell.
It's such a sad, shocking, scary, thought provoking book.
I couldn't put it down! I've read it twice now.
The vocabulary, the imagination of it all...
amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Yesterday it was A child called It, today it's Nick and Norah's infinite playlist. Never had any book kept me that high and that low in at the same time and from the very first page to the very last one. And 3 doors down - She don't want the world was on a repeat for the whole time. And it was something. :cute:

Did you get through the whole thing? I agree that the beginning was quite slow.

It's about this mob in England. The original leader is murdered by a rival mob, so this teenager takes over, but he murders one of the guys from the rival mob and spends the rest of the book trying to cover his tracks by murdering one of the guys from his gang and marrying a girl,even though he hates her, just so she can't testify against him in court.

It's really good.
