The Perks of being a Wallflower is an AWESOME book!!! I'm so glad someone besides me and my sister Sarah is reading that.
But you should definitely read The House of The Scorpion. It's not as stupid as it sounds. Trust me. I completely loved it.
Some books that you should check out:
Girl by Blake Nelson
Pure by Rebecca Ray (not really "school appropriate" but the lesson that the main character learns is worth reading it! plus the author dropped out of school to write this, so you know it HAS to be worth the time!)
girlfight by Frank Lauria (based on the movie. I haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is awesome. It's 100% girl kicking butt. GREAT story!)
Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn (an amazing book. This girl is kicked out of boarding school and sent back to her super rich and stuck up mom and dad. Her mom gets sick of her and sends her to spend the summer with her biological father. amazing.)
Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers and Emo byt Andy Greenwald (you all know I'm way into music. Blender magazine calls it Catcher in the Rye with guitars. It's a basic history of "emo" music I.E. Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eats World and other awesome bands. You guys might like it)
Villette by Charlotte Bronte (I just got it. I'm not too far into it, but it's by Charlotte Bronte. It'll be great)


I can not wait until school starts. I've missed the LMTC sooo much. Plus I have an AWESOME homeroom. Chels, I checked out your site. Tres chouette! do you have AIM?? I am now in the mood to talk about books. hmsklrsrockmysox is my SN if you do. later everyone!!
