Here's my very first Showcase
Sunday! SPOTLIGHTS!
The Boy in the Striped
Pajamas
I’m a little slow getting on the train to this one,
but this is the acclaimed story of friendship between two boys, one of whom is
in a concentration camp. I’ve been looking at this book for a while, but just
recently bought it since reading Annexed reawakened my interest in the
Holocaust. I’m very excited to read it and see how it turns out, since there
seems to be a lot of hate for it on Goodreads.
The
God Box
Written by Alex Sanchez, this is a story about a guy
named Paul, content with dating his girlfriend and being active in his religion
based high school. His life gets complicated when a new student named Manuel
arrives and tests what he thinks he knows about himself, his faith, and the
world he lives in.
I always see the Rainbow Boys series at the library
and I want to get into those, but I figured I’d try another book of Sanchez’s
first.
Avalon
High
This is a purely guilty pleasure read. Meg Cabot
wrote this book about a girl who goes to a school and realizes that everyone seems
to have a connection to Camelot and the world of King Arthur. I have to say I
loved The Princess Diaries series. I found them laugh out loud funny, and I can’t
wait to see what Meg Cabot does with these well known characters.
