Everything, Everything
By Nicola Yoon
Everything Everything is a book I decided to read based off of my favorite genre, which is realistic fiction. I recommend this book to others to read because I feel like it is so inspiring toward others. I also felt like it told a great story which I believe happened to be true. This books is about a 18 year old girl named Madeline Whitter, who supposedly is allergic to the outside world. Her disease is preventing to being expose to the outdoors. Maddy has a nurse that takes care of her daily, the nurse is named Carla. Maddy has only been exposed to only a couple people in her life span. Until a boy and his family moved in next door. The boy was named Olly, and has soon Maddy saw him she was automatically attracted to this boy who seemed to be around her age. They started to talk through email. Carla found out there little secret, and Maddy begged to have him come over. Carla gave in and aloud Olly to visit just once though. Once turned into three, four more times. Eventually Maddy's mom found, and banned her from seeing Olly. Not only that but took her computer privileges as well, but that didn't keep her from speaking with him. Also Carla got fired because she couldn't be trusted. Maddy and Olly planned a trip to Hawaii together. Olly wasn't convinced at first, but Maddy said she had a medication to keep her from having allergic reaction. Olly was convinced! Maddy secretly booked flights to Hawaii for both of them. They left for Hawaii very early in the morning when no one was awake. They flew off! The next day, Maddy was taken to the hospital. Olly had no choice but to call Maddy's mom. Maddy's mom came to Hawaii to take Maddy home. Now it's up to you to read the rest. Will she have a reaction to being outside to long? Does she even have the disease? Did her mom lie to her? Will she ever get to go outside again? Will she still be able to see/talk to Olly?
Be Prepared
By Vera Brosgol
Vera has always wanted to fit in. One day, she learns about a Russian Camp and wants to go. She's Russian, and the other kids at the camp will be too! At the Russian Camp she will fit in perfectly. Or so she thought. The day arrives and she is assigned a tent with two older girls. When the girls she shares a tent with are 5 years older than her, it's hard to fit in. All they do is sneak candy into their tent (which isn't allowed at the Camp), talk about a boys they think are cute, and have other conversations. The girls are best friends and find Vera weird. Vera tries to win their friendship and attention with her incredible drawings, and the girls soon become "friends". The girls start using her and blaming her for anything they do wrong. Vera hates it at the camp and she desperately wants to return home. She starts to learn that it's better to make friends then try and buy them. I absolutely love the drawings and color in this book! The story line is great and I also loved how this book is actually based on the author's experience in camp. There is more to the book than I explained, so go read it! I think this is one of the better graphic novels you could read. If you do read this book, enjoy!

Bridge Home, The
By Padma Venkatraman
This book is really magnificent. It is really hard to grasp when reading it, that this was some children's lives. I am the kind of reader that after I finish a book, it sticks in my head for a couple of days. I always imagine what I would do in the position of the main character. This book was one of the firsts where I couldn't do that. It is written so well that it is hard to imagine different endings, or different ways that different parts could have gone. This was also probably the very first book that I cried during (granted I was reading this at 10:00 at night and that is not my bedtime so that could had something to do with it) and it is amazing. It is told as a very very long letter that the main character Viji, wrote to her sister (who isn't with her but I'm not telling you why) Rukku, who has a developmental disability. She writes, the story of them living under a bridge with 2 boys. She writes about how they would scrounge through garbage piles looking for things to trade in for money. They were living under the bridge because they were forced to runaway when there father, who mainly abused there mother, started abusing them. It is a story of trust and surviving. I loved this book and think everyone should read it. It is again really hard to grasp that all of this could've happened to some children. That there is a majority of homeless, orphan children living on the streets. It is a great book as I've mentioned and think that everyone (as I've mentioned) should read it.
