Looking for a good read? Simona, one of our own teens, shares these two books:
Tricks by Ellen Hopkins: I enjoyed reading this book because from the beginning, it was relatable and interesting to me. I like teen books that involve struggle, but it's realistic. It has lots of tough experiences that the characters went through and it showed how they got themselves into those situations. Ellen is really blunt and straightforward, which I liked because she usually got straight to the topic rather than having it wait. I really liked the fact that each character is different yet connected in the end, which was unexpected but great as well. I always recommend this book to friends and I think that this book overall deserves a full 5-star rating.
Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Wiess
This book is so great and also a quick read. I don't think I was bored with the material at any point in the book. It is perfect. I think one of the main reasons it is so good is because the details are ridiculous. I could picture and imagine smells, nearly everything that was described in the book. It attracted every sense and it felt like I was in the book when I would read. Althought it isn't necessarily a happy book in the beginning, I definitely believe it deserves 5 stars.
