Samurai Rising was an excellent biography opening my eyes to the love of biographies that I have today.  However, as I read my book, confusion clouds my head as to who the characters are.  This is a result of the biography aspect of the piece.  Set in feudal Japan, many names are similar, often long and only off by one or two characters.  Aside from this, the author has done a very good job in providing guiding questions to each chapter, each supporting deep empathy to the valiant figures mentioned. I am very involved in the topic of feudal Japan, Minamoto Yoshitsune to be specific.  Though this was very educational, in enjoyed nonetheless.

This book has deepened my interest in historical biographies.  Recently, I have become more acquainted with the "Historical Fiction" genre.  Picking up this book, I felt that the subject would intrigue me but not so much the biography portion.  However, I was corrected when I realized that while I enjoyed reading the book as well, I could gain more information than if I were to indulge in a fiction.

The Slippery Slope follows the adventures of the Baudelaires in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I enjoyed it because we got to see the growth of the characters and their story line as the author gives hints to what awaits them.

The Game was such a GREAT book. It is definitely something I looked forward to reading. It was a mix of VR and reality wrapped in a realistic fiction story. Though it can be only found online, it is free and something you would want to read.

A book about the Japanese in America in WOrld War II. Definitely a book meant for older audiences, but not because of its appropriateness level. It was because dialogue was not much and there was not very much full information. This book was boring but told the truth in a memorable way. By the end, the character's lives were my own.

We read this in class, so most of my fellow students know of this book. To sum up, it takes place in 1965, where gang activity, underage smoking, and leather jackets were something normal to Ponyboy. Though he's a good student, he loves his friends as well even if they might fight or get into trouble sometimes.

However, her eyes being to open as she trusts the people around her.  They’re not mean, they’re not the enemy.  They’re here to help.  That’s how our Mia’s life begins to change.

Wendy Mass does a beautiful job describing the life in the disabled community.  It gives the questions “What would happen to me?” or “This is real?” that readers wonder.  A recommended book for a teen audience, this book gives you the perspective of those different than “normal”.  Unique, special, and memorable, this is a book you won’t want to miss.
