Hi, Page Turner here! Okay, so if the start of this high school year as been anything, it has not been boring due to lack of books to read. Here's a list of my favorite books, (in no particular order) that I've read since August!
1. "Bud, Not Buddy." This is book filled with humor and pathos and narrated by a ten-year old street-savvy kid in the Great Depression. After loosing his mom when he was six, he is moved to an orphanage. After a series of events, he finds himself alone on the road. But Bud has a secret--he thinks he knows who is father is, and he sets out to find him. This heart-warming story shows the heart of young boy, the mind of a hardened man, and the importance of family. 8/10!
2. "City of Ember Trilogy" Okay, so actually it's a quartet, but I've never liked the "Prophet of Yunwood" anyway. This series follows the events after a devastating world war that caused fire, starvation, and disease; a war that nearly wiped out humanity. The governments new this would happen, once the signs of war were clear, so they sent a group of people far under ground, in a city in the middle of a massive underground cave, called Ember. They people of Ember had enough supplies, and a huge generator that would last until it was time for them to come out. The only problem--the people forgot that anything existed outside there city. And the generator, the only way that they're staying alive in the pitch black darkness, it starting to slowly die. Now it's up to Lina and Doone, two teenagers who discover a way out, to convince everyone to leave. But someones trying to stop them--and will do everything they can to make sure the secret doesn't get out. Unlike a lot of end-of-the-earth stories, it skips the violence. This amazing trilogy explores deep subjects, like friendship, conflict, and family. 9/10!
Okay, I've got to go, but tomorrow I'll have a ton more book reviews. See you later!
