1. Please Don't Die
Written by- Laurlene McDaniel
Category-Drama/Comedy
Description- A group of teenage girl friends are all gathered together
by the One Wish Foundation to help kids who are like themselves.
When a crisis occurs, and one of the girls is not able to continue on,
the girls do everything in their power to help continue their mission.
I personally like this book because
it shows you how some people who aren't exactly healthy live their lives.
I helped me to appreciate life for what it is and to realize that things
could be worse.

2.Wonder
Written by-Rachel Vail
Category-Comedy
Description- When Jessica goes back to school she is a total outcast.
Even her old best friend, Sheila, won't talk to her because she had become
part of a new clique.
I think this is a good book because it shows some
of the realistic times of junior high. It also shows how one girl
was able to overcome it.

Description-The life of Jess is changed when he meets and later on
becomes friends with a new girl named Leslie. Together, they create
this new world called Terabithia where they play every day. The two

This book is a serious tearjerker, but
it makes you think about life differently. If you have never had a serious
friendship before, this book will make you appreciate theirs.

Description-This is a book about a young Jewish girl who lived through
the tormentof the Nazi Holocaust. It describes in great detail the tortures

Description-When two sophomores, Lorraine and John, meet Mr. Pignati

John Singer Sargent, A Street in Arras,
1918, watercolour,
39 x 52 cm, Imperial
War Museum, London.
In this painting John Sargent is trying to show how an ordinary town can be corrupted by the chaos of war. Not only did this war affect the people involved, but also the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The message of this painting is that war affects everyone although it may not be intentional. There are never winners in war!
