Black Boy by Richard Wright
It was a good book, it had a lot of detailed memories of what it was like to grow up as a poor black boy in the South. He goes through many struggles to survive and make money to sustain himself when he no longer has a family that can take care of him.

I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai
This was a very inspiring book about a girl who continued to speak out for what is right despite threats to her safety. This book helps make the reader aware of the issues going on in other parts of the world.

Chanel and her World: Friends, Fashion, and Fame by Edmonde Charles-Roux

This was a very interesting book. It had a lot of details and nice information. I knew a lot of the things that were in the book but otherwise it was quite nice and well written.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! by Bob Spitz
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! is a biography/information book on the Beatles. I learned much about this band's history, and impact on the world of music. One thing that I really loved in the book was its use of pictures and memorobilia to illustrate the events in the Beatles life. It was written in a scrapbooklike format, and this really helped keep my interest. The Beatles had a timeless efffect on the world of music, and Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! displays this fact well. Rating: 3 out of 5

Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston
Between a Rock and a Hard Place is about a man named Aron Ralston who is climbing in the mountains one day when a boulder fell in between the two rock walls he's climbing through. It smashed his left hand a little and lands on his right hand. Aron is trapped for six days without food and 21 oz of water. He is forced to cut his own hand off with a dull multi-tool. It was pretty grotesque the way Aron described the way he cut his hand off. In the end he hikes a while until he reaches a trail and sees a group of people who rush him to medical care.

Rosa Parks: My Story by Rosa Parks
I read Rosa Parks: My Story. I really liked the book a lot. I learned about her life. The most interesting part was when she was arrested. Even more interesting was that I got to sit in the same bus as Rosa Parks sat in at the Henry Ford Museum. I am really glad I got to read the book.
