The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
A Review by Patrick Favre
When I first looked at this book I was not sure I would like it, but I was soon hooked to it. It tells the story of and Indian determined to go to a white school. When he does, his life starts changing in ways he never expected. Enjoy this story of survival through a boy just trying to be who he is.
I liked this book because it was not afraid to hold back on some subjects.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
A Review by Alex O’Neil
In the nation of Panem, new North America, is a powerful Capitol surrounded by 12 unique districts. But the Capitol is cruel. Every year, each district must send 1 12-18 year old boy and girl to a televised fight to the death. When Katniss’s sister is called to fight, Katniss decides to volunteer to take her sister’s place. Little does she realize she is in way over her head. Read the book to see if Katniss can survive in the largest challenge of her life.
