Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah is a tear jerking story of an unwanted little girl, very much worth a read id say. Set in the 1950's there is alot of history involved in this book, i found it very hard to put down,
Rating: ******
Holes by louis sachar (recently been made into film) is a gripping story of a boy wrongly punished and sent to a juvenile detention camp. There are 3 stories intertwined with one another very cleverly, the whole book is absolutley fantastic!!

"I taught myself to live simply and wisely,
to look at the sky and pray to god,
and to wander long before evening
to tire my superfluous worries.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops
I compose those happy verses
about lifes decay, decay and beauty.
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly
and the fire flares bright
on the saw-mill turret by the lake.
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear"
