         <description><![CDATA[<div>Classic<br>"Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters.Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.' In the first sentence she introduces the title character as 'Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich.' Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray" (Amazon).<br>I chose this book because Clueless is based off of this book, and I thoroughly enjoy that movie.&nbsp;<br>218 pages</div>]]></description>

There is also many good reviews about it. Page count: 311</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Rising from the ashes” is a common metaphor in the athletic comeback genre, but in this case it is literally the story of the Paradise Bobcats, most of whom lost almost everything in the 2018 wildfire that reduced 18,000 homes in the California town to smoldering ember. The role of sports is sometimes overstated in helping communities heal. Not here. Plaschke, for 25 years an L.A. Times columnist, begins the book by telling in harrowing detail the flight to safety, then turning to the rebuild, which finds its raw, gripping voice in the individual stories of more than a dozen players and coaches." (LA Times)<br><br>I chose this novel because it would be interesting to read about a true story. I like this one because it is about sports, but also how people can bond together during hard times.<br><br>272 Pages</div>]]></description>

Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. <em>Marley &amp; Me</em> is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives" (Amazon).</div><div>291 pages</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Contemporary:&nbsp;<br>"On November 8, 2018, the Camp Fire ravaged the town of Paradise, California. The fire, which burned up to 80 acres per minute, killed 86 people, and nearly every building and home in the town was reduced to ashes. In a single day, Paradise, a proud working-class town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, saw its population fall from 25,000 to 2,000.</div><div>The Paradise High football team had long been the town’s source of joy and inspiration. But in the wake of the fire, their season was abruptly canceled on the eve of the playoffs. Their championship hopes were gone. Their program’s survival seemed doubtful—it wasn’t even clear whether Paradise High would continue to exist.</div><div>Coach Rick Prinz had planned to retire that year after guiding the Paradise High Bobcats for two decades. But after the fire forever altered his beloved town, he realized he couldn’t walk away. What ensued was the challenge of a lifetime. Of the 104 football players at Paradise, 95 had lost their homes. His varsity squad, which had stood 76 strong the previous season, was down to 22. Most of those who remained were homeless, sleep-deprived, lost. On the first day of spring practice, on a debris-ridden patch of grass at nearby Chico Airport, Prinz’s team didn’t even have a football. It was the humble beginning to a memorable journey." (Barnes &amp; Noble)<br>I chose this book because it is about a football team in which I can relate too. I also am really interested to see how the team faces the struggles that they have been put before them.&nbsp;<br><br>272 Pages <br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>- I chose this memoir because I have read it and think everyone should also read it. It is very heartfelt and all about the author's life and what she goes through. It can also be very inspirational.&nbsp;<br>-&nbsp;"<em>The Glass Castle</em> is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered" (Amazon).<br><br></div>]]></description>

To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world. . . . It's where he was born, it's where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it's the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack's curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer. <em>Room</em> is a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating -- a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.<br>-I love mystery type of books and I feel like this book would be a book I would be interested in.&nbsp;<br>-305 pages</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>(The 6th Sense) The main stars are Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. It was directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It is rated PG-13. It realeased August 6th, 1999. I think this would be a good choice because it has a ton that requires deeper thinking and there is more than just the surface level ideas.&nbsp;<br><br>(Space Jam) The MAin Star is Michel Jordan. It was directed by Joe Pytka. It's rated PG and was released on November 15, 1996. I think that it would be good to watch because i kinda encapsulated a whole generation of kids childhoods.<br><br></div>]]></description>

However, this is not the perfect specimen he imagines that it will be, but rather a hideous creature who is rejected by Victor and mankind in general" ("BBC Bitesize").<br>This book has been regarded as much more than the spinoffs make it out to be. I believe it tells the story of the human condition and our failure to always classify something that's different as something that's horrible. 280 pages</div>]]></description>
