Anya's Ghost

Anya's ghost may seem like an inappropriate (too young) book for seventh graders, but it's just the right thing... but if you read it too much, your skills will fall behind. It's a graphic novel about a girl named Anya, of course. She was teased when she first moved to the U.S. She was falled fat and ugly, and everyone laughed at her Russian accent. So she turns her back on her religion, culture, and family. She HATES people from her country and is ashamed of her last name,  Borzakovskaya.

But one day, she falls in a hole, and finds a girl named Emily Reilly. Emily is a ghost. At the beginning, she's very dainty, and kind, and helpful. But then, she gets involved in Anya's social life. And Emily becomes controlling, by making Anya go after a boy who broke her heart. And when Anya refuses to do this, Emily starts terrorizing the whole family.

But Anya finds out Emily's secret. Tha's when everything becomes a lie. Anya finds out that Emily died of a broken heart, and wants Anya to live her life for her. At the end, Emily fades away with a sad and broken heart.

I Might Be Too Old for This, but I Certainly Don't Feel Like It

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Third Wheel...

I will read all these books by Jeff Kinney. It's hilarious and I'll never stop reading it. Is it my favorite series? No. That's The Hunger Games. But in the story, reading about Greg Heffley (the protagonist) makes you realize how smart you are a person. It's a sweet ambition, and I'm pretty sure me and everyone else has this too, Greg wants to grow up and be famous. He believes it too. But he says it like if you can just clap your hand, then you can be famous. You actually have to run a few miles to be famous, everyone knows that. Meanwhile, Greg justs sits back, acts lazy, fails, and keeps going on with his middle school obsessions.

In the Third Wheel, there's a Valentine's Day Dance at his school, and he wants a date. He tries really stupid and pointless things to get one, but at the end, he's stuck going to the dance as part of a group. His group includes a girl named Abigail Brown, his best friend Rowley, and himself. But Greg keeps failing at his chances with Abigail. Instead, Abigail starts paying more attention to Rowley.

I won't say more except Greg has an okay ending for himself. After all, he is a wimpy kid.

The Lucky Kind

I didn't finish this book yet, but I'm reading The Lucky Kind. The story is told in first person bya really perverted Jewish boy that gets drunk on weekends and smokes cigarettes on roofs. The horrible part is that he's only a teen. But it seems that all the time, he is lucky. He got away with smoking and drinking, when his parents knew. They seemed upset for like two seconds in the book, it suddenly turned into another topic.

But he finds out that he isn't the only one into dirt. His father was too, like about thirty years ago. He finds out that he is his mother's first-bron, but not his father's. His father had another son who's 29. He now starts to rethink all he thought about father, because his father is hiding things from him.

Sarah's Key

Nowadays, you just can't find a book without all the teenage dirt in it. So, I just took a historical fiction by random, it is just great! Great with no sarcasm. In Sarah's Key, it shows a family in France during the beginning of the Holocaust. The police went door to door, just before dawn, arresting Jewish families. Sarah's father is hiding in their cellar, and when the police shows up at their door, she hides her little brother in the cupboard, and locks him up, telling him that she'll come back. When police have Sarah and her mother, they search for her father. And they find him.

Fifty years later, an American woman, her French husband, and their eleven year-old daughter, become involved with Sarah and her history with her little brother. Bertrand, the husband, disagrees with this idea. The woman collects files, research, sources, and travels around Europe and North America, to find Sarah.

It turns out that she never told anyone about her brother, her religion, or her past. Her son didn't even know!

And in the end, there is no Sarah. There was, but not anymore.
