Something that makes this book unique is that it is an informational book, but is not extremely boring. I think this is due to the author's writing style, as it is informational and comedic, so it breaks up the information. Sorry. I just realized you don’t know what the book is about. It is essentially about space, and everything we do and don’t know about it, with some stuff about elementary particles thrown in. The book is also written in a conversational tone, kind of how I’m writing this paragraph. There are at least 1-2 puns per page, which I think is overdoing it a little, but it helps add to the overall feel of the book. This is the first book of this style that I’ve seen, and I’ve really enjoyed it. They talk directly to the reader, and make sure your brain doesn’t explode too fast. I already knew most of the information, but it’s a great review, and I learned a few new things. Read this book if you want to learn about space and a little science.

This book is dystopian fiction. It is definitely a strong example of its genre. In this genre, the story usually takes place in an alternate universe very similar to ours, but something has gone wrong. In my book, suicide is an epidemic among teenagers. The book is a bit dark like most dystopia I have read. The main characters try to fight a system, just like a lot of dystopian novels. 

This first book was mostly about how every other  student in this high school had a dream or a concrete idea of what they wanted to do, but the protagonist did not. Over the course of the story, the protagonist learned about  the other students’ dreams and realized he seemed to be the only one without one. Around the end of the book, after involving himself in activities at his school, he manages to find that he does have a dream for his future.

Trials of Apollo: Tower of Nero

Apollo was given the gift of immortality by his father. At the beginning of the series of Trial of Apollo, Apollo’s father stripped him of these abilities. Throughout the five book series, Apollo has learned more and more that it was a good thing and there is more meaning to mortals' lives; more to live for. Before reading this book, I never would have thought I would feel this way about immortality, but I now have a change of heart. I believe that all other readers will discover this new truth displayed in Apollo’s journeys. The meaning of life is more important than us readers previously thought.

This book is unique because it tells you a story that shows you the perspective of Sasha and how they transitioned into the LGBTQ community. It shows the reader what they went through and the struggles and accomplishments. It’s also unique because it teaches you a lot about the LGBTQ community, I learned a lot while reading this. The way the story is laid out is also cool too. In the first chapter there was an incident between two characters but you don't really know what is happening so the book takes you back and introduces the character and what their lives are like. The book was written in 3rd person so it really felt like you were just watching the story unfold but you also saw each person's perspective. 

 Heroine is important for teens to read because it talks about drug addiction, specifically opioid use which is what the protagonist Mickey Catalan struggles with, and I know many other teenagers, even adults struggle with abusing drugs and gradually becoming addicted to them.

The theme of the book is about police brutality. When Kahlil opens the driver's door to see if Starr was okay he was shot 3 times in the back. He was unarmed. Then on social media people mourned about Kahlils death.
