Time for a Count Down

Meg Cabot, the author of the Princess Diaries Series, has a book being released THIS MONTH. The Airhead trilogy is about a normal girl named Emerson Watts whose brain is placed in a super model’s body. Em has to try to live Nikki’s life. At first it seems being a supermodel can’t be that difficult, but it turn out to have more complications than Em could have ever imagined. The two books (Airhead and Being Nikki) are awesome. Cabot combines a strong main character with an unusual circumstance to create an incredible plot. I don’t want to tell much about what happens, because you should read these books! I couldn’t put them down. Meg Cabot is a wonderful writer. I can’t wait until April 20th, 2010 when the third book (Runaway) will be released.

Book Review: Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

is an excellent story, written in verse, about teens who are driven into prostitution. This book is a good example of a book being worse than my life. In order to eat, these teens sell their bodies and their souls. It gives the reader a new perspective on prostitution and desperation. Teenagers often have little or no control over their living situations. But there is help out there. If you need it, you have to let an adult you trust know.
