Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin
Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin by far is one of the best books I've read so far because of how it gives you a first person view in the struggles of someone else. Being in the spotlight because of their dad, Riley Cavanaugh shows how they dealt with their stress and overcame their obstacles.

Animal Spirits by Vulfpeck
Vulfpeck would have to be one of my favorite bands and they helped me develop a better respect for the funk genre. The song 'Animal Spirits' has an uplifting beat and lyrics that are pretty different from your average song. The song is about how this girl "who loves astrology" is destined to fall in love with the guy who "can't stand astrology." It's those type of specific lyrics that lets Vulfpeck stand out so much over the other talented artists of today. (It's also kind of cool they were founded in Michigan).
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
It was a good book. I really enjoyed it. It was a heart-felt book and very encouraging. Overall it was an amazing book.
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
Join Meggie, Mo, and Dustfinger on an adventure filled with magic, danger, and family. (There are two more books in the series/trilogy). Prepare to be hooked on a book!

Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
Jeffrey (Maniac) ran away from home when he was 11 years old. Also his parents died when he was little. I loved the book and the ending was amazing. It was the best book I have ever read.
