Students Respond about Favorite Books
My favorite book was…
• Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian - love the voice that Alexie gets across - he relates stories like he's talking to you.
•Does My Head Look Big in This? because it taught me a lot about Muslims.
•The Alchemyst. It was so fun, descriptive and inventive. I loved the suspense and all the twists.
•The True Meaning of Smekday - because it was funny!
•Unwind, which reminded me a little of The Host but it was an action pact,
futuristic, life questioning adventure.
