Answer 1

there is a book called "the copper sun"  by sharon draper...it is about slavery and it is a good book. It took me 7 hours to read it, but it was good. she also has a lot of other young adult books that are about teenagers in hard situations. I have read all of them I loved each of them. I read each book without stopping.

Answer 2

the year of the secreat asignments

by ummm.... i 4 got srry

Answer 3

Ender's Shadow, Ender's Game, The House of the Scorpion, The Blue Bloods, and All but my life

Tuesdays with Morrie was one of my personal favorties, Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

Flowers for Algenon, The titular Algernon is a laboratory mouse who has undergone surgery to increase his intelligence. The story is told as a series of "progress reports" written by Charlie, the first human test subject for the surgery, and touches upon many different ethical and moral themes such as the treatment of the mentally disabled.

Answer 4

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is actually really good and I just finished reading it for my english honors class

you will probably have to read it eventually for english so you could kill two birds with one stone!

Answer 5

"Circle of Grace" by Penelope J. Stokes...

i have just read it this summer.. (; and this book actually made me cry so much (haha, im senstive xP )

Description:

Thirty years ago, Grace and her college roommates (Liz, Tess, and Lovey) made a solemn vow: to hold on to their friendship, to support one another, to keep in touch through a circle journal that would make the rounds among them. And they promised always to tell one another the truth.

For three decades that journal has been circulating, carrying stories of Liz's social justice activism in Atlanta and D.C., of Tess's fulfilling career and perfect home life, of Lovey's dream marriage to a wealthy and powerful former pro football player. But what is Grace to say? Her friends seem so happy and successful. She can't bear to tell them how her life has spiraled downward since college, and she can't bring herself to be honest about the dismal realities and bitter memories she faces everyday.

She never intends to deceive them, not initially, anyway. She simply embellishes the truth a little, presents her life as a bit more respectable than it really is. But over the years one exaggeration leads to another, and the fiction grows...

Until she discovers that she's going to die.

Alone and desolate and with little left to lose, Grace determines to take the risk of a lifetime, to reach out to Liz and Tess and Lovey again. And when they reunite, her final battle becomes their struggle as well, a quest for truth, honesty, and enduring emotional connection.
