One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies by Sonya Sones

The book I read, One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies is a good book. I would recommend this book to a lot of people. But if I had to choose two set of people it would be people who like drama and romance. The genre of the book would be drama and romance fiction. This is why I recommended people who like drama and romance. I would recommend this book to people who like drama because this book is about a girl, who is dragged 3,000 miles away from her home from Boston to California to stay with her dad because her mother has died. Another genre of it would be romance. I think this because in the book it says that when she was dragged away her boyfriend Ray was sad and promised he would visit (and he didn't). I give this book a thumbs up. The reason I give this book a thumbs up is because it has long vocabulary. Also because it has the most best ending ever, (not telling). I love this book and I'm sure you will too if you read it. So please try to read the book I know that you will love it!

The Magician's Nephew (The Chronicles of Narnia: Series: Book 1)

The genre of this book is fantasy because there is traveling in space and talking animals. I like this book because it was full of adventure and surprises. I recommend this book to people who like fantasy and space travel.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

Junior is a 14 year old boy who lives in the Spokane Indian Reservation. He is a great cartoonist. After an incident with one of his teacher he decides to move to an all white school. Not wanting to live a miserable life like all the other people on his "Rez". Being the only person to ever "leave" the "Rez" he is faced with many problems. Having to face bullies, crushes, friends, and family. This book is really funny and full of cartoons. It is like The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I recommend it to any one in middle school or high school. It is very relatable in a sense. It is really funny and I hope you enjoy this book.
