Sorry I haven't posted! The Romeo and Juliet Code by Phoebe Stone

It's been hard for me to find good books lately, so, finally, I read this book!
The Romeo and Juliet Code is about a girl named Felicity whom is to soon to be nicknamed Flissy. She has to move to America, away from Britain. She wants her mom and dad who have gone away to fight in WWII. She is unaware that they are fighting, and instead, just feels like she was taken away from her parents and forced to stay in an unfamiliar place. Her uncle hides things, there is someone in the house that won't come out of his room, and she has to try and cope with the situation.
The Romeo and Juliet Code is a good book for girls. In my opinion, the recommended age group would be 8 years old to adult. It would especially fit someone with a tight schedule because they wouldn't feel rushed to keep reading. Please read!

Out of my Mind by Sharon M. Draper

Out of my Mind is a fantasic book about kids with disabilities. It is another book that makes you feel like you can do anything. This is a book about a girl named Melody. She's like Stephen Hawking- that means she can't walk or talk, but she is extremely smart. She can't share anything she feels inside. Anything!!! She's so frustrated because she's so much more advanced than the class she's stuck in. Finally, FINALLY, she figures out a way to talk to people easily. She finds out something called a Medi-Talker, and she finally starts to fit in with the normal kids.
Out of my Mind is a must-read for anyone who likes books that include a great sucess in the end. If you read this post and decide not to read Out of my Mind, you must not like reading at all! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!
