I read the book Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. This book is about two totally different people. First character would be Brittany Ellis she is a senor at Fairfield High School and is captain of the pom pom team and was dating the captain of the football team. And the second main character would be Alex Fuentes he is also a senor at Fairfield. He is in the gang Latin Blood and he isnt as rich as Brittany or as popular. When they become chemistry partners everything changes for them. They fall in love and can’t help each other love one another. But things change. You would have to read the book to find out what happens. I would rate this a 10 out of 10 because it is a realy good book seeing it from both of their point of views.

This book is written by a vet named Nick Trout. He is a surgical vet and also deals with traumatized animals. He wrote this book as a reflection of different stories that touched his heart in some way. He explains one case when things didn’t turn out so well. Then he describes a case that worked out best for both patient and owner. Every story has a meaning or lesson at the end about life in general not just in the vetrinaryian field.

I loved this story. In the begging it was a little slow but as you read on you would become so drawn to the book it would be hard to put down. The details in this book are increadable. Trout tells every detail about every situation and makes you feel as if you were standing right next to him breaking the news to an owner that thier pet had just died or made it through surgery. This book will capture you and never let go. It’s a great read and I recamened it for anyone. Even if you have no intrest in becoming a vet or you don’t even own a pet this book will make you feel every emotion.

A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer is about Dave Pelzer himself living every child’s worst nightmare. Dave lived a horrifying childhood. He was abused as a young boy. A Child Called It is about a young boy’s struggle to fight for his life being abused. He was verbally and physically abused by his mother. She would do things that were horrifying, ideas that only a sick person would think of. His mother was an alcoholic. She would tell Dave how worthless he was and how she wanted to kill him. This bring tears to one’s eyes. No child wants to be told they were a “mistake.” He did everything in his power to save himself. He didn’t want to die. As much as he hated the life he lived, he knew he had so much to offer to the world. Dave Pelzer is a survivor of child abuse. He is a hero to many.

The book A Child Called It was an outstanding novel. Dave is an inspiration to so many people. He did everything in his power to save his own life. The amount of detail in the book makes your teeth cringe. The book is so sad, and yet unfortunately, it’s reality to many children around the world. This book needs to be shared with the world. Child abuse needs to come to an end. He did an outstanding job writing this book. He was not proud of the childhood he had, but I believe he is proud of what he did to survive. I recommend this book to anyone who is a strong willed person. The book is hard to get through, but it is well worth it in the end.

Hannelore Wolff has to go through one of the worlds worst nightmares. The holocaust. She has been taken from camp to camp, seen one of her brothers get sick and die, and had to dig graves for all of the other Jewish people that have been killed along the way. The holocaust was depressing and emotional, but Hannelore sticks it out to the end and is finally free.

I am not going to lie this book is very sad. At the beginning you find out something horrible that breaks your heart. This book was written for people to learn about what had happened not only to one girl, but all of her friends and family. The end of this book take a ton off your shoulders when you learn what has happened to Hannelore and her loved ones. It has suspense, sadness, and joy.

The main conflict in the book The Lost Boy is Dave the main character looking for a family. He is kicked out of his family house and he lived on the streets for a day. He then becomes an orphan. He tries to be accepted but he doesn’t. He steals and does other bad things to be accepted. His peers never accepted him.

This book was an appealing book because it was the second book. It is also a true story about David’s life. When you know that this is true you wont to keep reading and reading to see what happens. It is hard to put the book down. It has good use of word that make you imagine what is going on.

The main conflict in the book A Child Called “IT” would have to be David the main character surviving his mom’s chores/games. His mom has changed a lot from being a good mom in the beginning and a horrible mom by putting his kid through life threatening games. David has to do gross and bloody things to survive. He gets fed little if any food for many days. He has to find disgusting way to get food. In conclusion the main conflict is a little child fighting for his life.

The thing that I liked most is that the end is in the beginning. It makes you wont to keep reading and reading until you find out what led to this ending. Another thing that I liked was that this is a true story and the author is the boy and to think that a real person had to go threw all of these games is horrible. I also liked how these different obstacles that David has to face are thought up and how he get through all of these life threatening tasks. When you read these games that he has to go through the author who is the little boy in the book uses great word and structcher that makes you feel as if you were in the book.
