Summer Reading!

Summer means free time to read all the books that I haven't been able to during the school year and also some time to research new books. So far I haven't read much that has excited me, but I am just warming up with my choices. I promise to keep updating the blog and hope you all will reply to my choices or recommend something you are reading this summer.

The next two books on my list to read and review are:

#1. Trouble by Gary D. Schmidt-Henry Smith’s father always told him, “If you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you.” Sure enough, the Smiths live in a mansion on Boston’s North Shore that has housed the family for 300 years. But when Henry’s older brother and prep-school rugby star, Franklin, is accidentally run down by a Cambodian classmate, Chay Chouan, and lies in a coma,Henry and a pal take a road trip, meet Chay, and must reconcile his image of the perfect older-brother with the abusive, racist jock he might really have been.

#2. One Good Punch by Rich Wallace-

Michael Kerrigan is about to begin his senior season on the track team, and he's never been in better shape. His unwavering dedication to writing and his athleticism keep him out of trouble, until a friend stashes four joints in his locker, which are promptly found during a random drug sweep. Facing expulsion, and hence no track season or college team after that, Michael must decide whether to lie or tell the truth. Is it worth losing your future for a friendship?

I will keep you posted!
