 | 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' is one of my favourites. It is written by Stephen Chbosky, an American novelist, screen writer and film director. To me, the story emphasises friendship, love, new experiences, identity and the feelings that come with going on adventures. The book explores the idea of being 'united' and 'infinite'. |
'Paper Towns' is a definite must-read. It is written by John Green, also the author of 'The Fault In Our Stars'. 'Paper Towns' is mysterious and adventurous, but is based on a young shy boy's journey to search for the most popular girl in school (his crush). Quentin searches for Margo when she disappears after an adventurous night of pranks and breaking into amusement parks.
'Username: Evie' is a book written by Joe Sugg, also known as ThatcherJoe on Youtube. He has done a voice over in the new Spongebob movie and starred in the movie 'Joe and Caspar Hit The Road' with his best friend, Caspar Lee. Joe Sugg is known for his Youtube channels; ThatcherJoe, ThatcherJoeVlogs and ThatcherJoeGames. Also, he is hilarious so go check out his Youtube channels!! ;) This book is for those who might not enjoy reading as much as others since it is a graphic novel. The book has an incredible, thrilling plot about a girl who feels as if she doesn't belong. This was one of the only graphic novels I have every really enjoyed, not only because of its amazing plot, but the amazing sense of character in the story.
'The Fault In Our Stars' by John Green. One of the most emotional stories I have ever read, resulting in me sobbing for an hour on my own on a beanbag. The story portrays a story between brave, tired Hazel Lancaster and charming, beautiful Augustus Waters. It is written by the same author as 'Paper Towns'. John Green often writes in the perspective of a young teen. His stories are passionate, mostly including romance, adventure and what it means to 'live'. The story makes you really question the values in life and the things you do with the things you are fortunate to have. So grab a few tissues, a comfy place, some hot chocolate and enjoy the book :)
'If I Stay' by Gayle Forman. Is a heartfelt, dramatic and romantic novel. The story explores teen romance, family and friendships. Again, I cried. When Mia; a beautiful, kind, ambitious girl experiences something that could change everything, Adam; guitar-strumming, beautiful and desperate boy comes along. With their love, Mia relives memories, determined to make a choice that could make everything come crumbling down. 'If I Stay' not only is emotional, but makes you appreciate the people around you, taking in every minute you have with them.
