The Outsiders by: S.E. Hinton

Hello fellow readers,
This book is one that many schools use for discussion, my school has used it for over 20 years. Even though the book is outdated the themes are not and neither are the characters. This book is about two different social classes; Socs (not Socks!) and Greasers. These two groups of people think that the only way to solve a conflict is by violence. There is a depth to this story that none of us could ever understand. This book is about helping your friends, protecting your family, and "staying golden". This book written by a high school senior, as a creative writing project shows that everyone has a good and bad side, and that we need to work to show the good side even if its not what we're the best at doing.
I give the Outsiders:
3 1/2 stars
This is a tuff (yes its spelled right) book that you don't want to miss. Decide whether you are a Soc or a Greaser, read the Outsiders.

Peaches by: Jodi Lynn Anderson

Hello fellow readers,
In this wonderful book three girls (who couldn't be more polar opposites) come together on a peach farm in Georgia to learn the true meaning of friendship. Sounds cheesy right? Not so, Peaches is a book that really shows you how you should give others a chance. I'm not lying it really is a good book. I am now eagerly reading The Secrets of Peaches by: Jodi Lynn Anderson. You may just find that Murphy isn't so bad, and that Leeda may be a little more sure of herself, or mabey that Birdie isn't as peachy as you thought it was.
I give Peaches:
3 stars
Peaches is a great read thats got to go on your list. Check back soon and happy reading.
