**Dare, Truth or Promise is about a romance between two girls: Louie and Willa. At first, everything seems to go well until Louie's mother finds out about their love and plans to get Louie to go to a trip to Bali in order to forget Willa. Willa is still hurt from a past relationship and it's beginning to haunt her. At the end they must decide what's best for them. This book taught me that many people are always discriminated just because they love people of the same sex and that we must learn that love is love and people have the right to love the one that they want. If we keep intimidating them they would be scared of themselves and would end up terribly. This book opens people's eyes and minds about gay and lesbian romance and makes you reflect on our own opinions about it. No matter what, they are people with feelings and we are not the ones to judge them or treat them badly. **

 The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a tender story about the friendship between Bruno, the son of a nazi soldier, and Shmuel, a jewish boy in the concentration camp Bruno's father is in charge. Despite of what people said about the jews, Bruno was always a friend to Shmuel up to the point where he enters the camp with him in order to find his father. It teaches us that true friendship has no limits and that we should act like these two children: no matter what they say about their friends you always stay loyal to them.

You know where to find me is a very special book. It's the story of Miles coping with her cousin Laura's death. Miles always wanted to be like Laura: beautiful and popular. But, her death will change the way she thinks about Laura, her relationship with her best friend Jamal and her cousin's stepfather. This is a very special book as I could identify with Miles and the way she felt about her cousin. I strongly recommend this book for those people who would want to be like the person they love or admire. Although there are good things about the people we admire, nothing is like it seems.




 * This is one of the most poignant books I've ever read. These stories are from some of the young people (most of them teenagers) who had to fight for their lives and presence the horror of the Holocaust. Some of them were in concentration camps, lost their families or were treated in a brutal way by the Nazis. This looks in a deeper way, what the Jews and other people the Nazis hated had to cope with and their difficult fight for surviving. It also shows the power of resilience, the ability to stand up against adversity. **

**A book for the King of Pop's fans but also, hides what every performer must know: being yourself, show the world who you really are and be strong to set an example for your audience even though you don't have fans whatsoever. It also tells us that we need to work hard to pursue our dreams and really mean it. Maybe one of these days we can come up with our own "Thriller". Although it's mostly the story of his life, you need to look inside and maybe you can learn something in there. **



**One of the greatest American Classics. The Great Gatsby it's a personal memoir of the events in the summer of 1922 through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a man from Minnesota. He befriends his extremely rich neighbour Jay Gatsby, who wants to recover his true love Daisy Buchannan and rekindle their love for each other. It's a very interesting story who sometimes reveals the society we're living in. **

The striving story of Adeline Yen Mah, who was hated by her family because they believed she was guilty for her mother's death. His father married again to a lady who didn't have any love for her nor her siblings. The only people who truly loved her were her aunt Baba and her grandfather. Adeline found herself protected in school rather than home and during her life she struggled to gain the love and respect from her family she never had.

Chinese Cinderella shows us that although there are bad times, you have to keep on moving so you can have a better future and be in a better place.
