BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY BY RUTH SEPETYS
![Picture](/uploads/1/5/6/4/15644504/3107835.jpg)
One of our most popular books at the MMS Book Fair this fall was Between Shades of Gray. Since many of my students were reading it, I decided it was my turn to find out why everyone enjoyed this book so much. Lina is Jewish; she lives a comfortable life with her family, goes to school, draws, and enjoys time with her friends. Life suddenly changes when Lina and her family are taken to Siberia. They attempt to survive in horrible conditions: below freezing weather, field work day and night, barely any food, and people dieing around her. Lina wants to survive, so she can have her life back again.
" Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That
morning, my brother's was a pocket watch."

The Fault in our stars by john Green

I decided to read this book because one of my former students, Raelynn Thompson, absolutely loves this book. The narrator, 16-year-old Hazel, suffers from cancer. At a support group meeting for cancer victims, she meets Augustus. Even though Augustus has a leg amputated because of his cancer, he still sees the beautiful and positive parts of life. The two immediately form a relationship after reading a book together, and they decide to travel to Amsterdam to meet the author.
