Summer Reading

My Summer Reading

One of the books I read was The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

It was about the struggle of an Iranian girl in war time. It really BLEW me away. It was very deep. There was multiple climactic parts.
 

SPOILER ALERT 

She ends up surviving the war (obviously, it's an autobiography) and moves to France. I was happy to see that she was finally able to find a country to live in.

Another book I read was Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina.

It was about a Latina girl who had moved into a new school and had to deal with the struggles of peer pressure, family, poverty, and bullying. I suggest this book for anyone who wants to read about the struggles of high school.

SPOILER ALERT

 It all ends up okay in the end. She still struggles with trauma but she transfers into a school for advanced science. Away from anybody from Washington Heights. No offense to anybody from Washington heights, in the book Piddy is afraid of going around there.

I look forward to writing more about my reading in the near future.
