I have been reading many realistic fiction and historical fiction books recently. I find them pretty interesting.
1) Book Thief by Markus Zusak: The book thief was a very well written book in my opinion. It had such creative and descriptive writing and was great at spurring emotion among the readers.
2) The Anatomy of a Single Girl: Dominique had just gone through a tragic breakup with her old boyfriend.. She returns home to meet a handsome boy named Guy. They date until the end of summer break when she goes back to college and her family moves houses.
3) Simple as it Seems by Sarah Weeks: Verbena was having many troubles at home and it was having a strong affect on how she acted around other people. She found out she was adopted and began to feel angry all the time. It became uncontrollable at times. All she needed was a friend to rely on like Pooch.
4) Zeitoun by Dave Eggers: This novel really made me think about how difficult Hurricane Katrina really was. Even though Zeitoun is a non-fiction story, it seems as though it is so outrageous it is a fiction. Topics included in this book are racism, damage from hurricane Katrina, and living in jail.
5) Dragonwings by Laurence Yep: Dragonwings is a lovely story about a young Tang boy that immigrates to America to be with his father. His father has a dream of flying. Throughout the story you learn about their adventures meeting demons, flying, and growing together as a father and son.
