I read Bystander recently and LOVED it! This was a great book about a boy who moves to a new school and soon befriends the school bully and his buddies. He is taken in by this group but soon discovers that being in the "in-crowd" may not be all it is cracked up to be. Read Bystander to find out how he gets out of the sticky situation that he finds himself in with his new "friends." I couldn't put this book down and I know you will love it as much as I did. I would reccomend this book for boys and girls alike!
ReplyDeleteHow many forms of bullying can you endure? How much rejection can one person face? Do you find these questions interesting? Then you must read QUAKING by Kathryn Erskine.
ReplyDeleteQUAKING is about a fourteen year old girl, Matt (Matilda), who has a history of being shuffled from one foster home to another. Even though each home has been with some sort of relative, it just hasn't worked out for Matt. Now she is down to her last home...a family of practicing Quakers with another foster child--a five year old boy with a severe developmental condition. Matt must face a new school, new bullies, a religious sect she knows nothing about, and life with a family she has never met before. Everything is new for her -- but what will be its cost? What secrets are lying hidden among her memories? Will this new life bring more heartache or will it bring her healing and the family she so desperately needs?
Would it be a good or a bad thing to have the ability to hear anything anyone says about you, anywhere in the world? What if you are only sixteen years old and find yourself spending all of your time hiding away in your home? What kind of life is that? Lindsay Scott is doing just that. As a child, Lindsay was the star of a popular TV sitcom. Then, she developed this astounding ability to hear everything anyone said about her: good, bad, disgusting, and terrifying—everything! No filters! That became so overwhelming that she had a nervous breakdown and seemingly vanished. Rumor spread that her father kidnapped her and was holding her hostage. Is that what really happened? Find out the truth when you read CLAIM TO FAME by Margret Peterson Haddix.
