All American Girl
By: Meg Cabot
This book was for our book reports. We didn't get a saying on this book, and I honestly disliked it. IT had traditional plot with the classic cinderella-ish tale. The beginning went along too slow, and when you got to the good parts, they were either quick, or it wasn't good. I couldn't really get into a lot of depth onto the character.
STARS: (Out of 10) 6 RECOMMENDED FOR: People who want a quick read. Not for a book report.
Girl in Translation
By: Jean Kwok
This is and amazing book! Though intended for adults, it has and interesting story line, and has a lot of hard morals and theme. It's about a girl Kimberly, who just immigrated from America. She and her mother must work in a sweatshop, to pay back their debt from their journey to America. KImber;y has one talent:school. Amazing book about how a girl must try to support her tiny family by achieving high, and working hard.
Stars: 9.5 RECOMMENDED FOR: Teens who are ready to read heartfelt books, about hard decisions, and terrible things that happen in this world.
