It's The Message Within

CAUTION: Chose not to look at what a book is, what it is made out of, or what it looks like. Instead, I chose to consider how a book is used and what purpose it serves. So here are some lists of books that will surely interest your taste and will lead you to great imaginations.

Ways to Live Forever


Ways to Live Forever written by Sally Nicholls tells about Sam Oliver McQueen, an eleven-year-old child, terminally ill with leukemia, who, during one of his special education sessions decides to write a book about his life. In that book, he will include stories, amusing facts, lists and his own diary. One of the lists is entitled "Things I Want to Do". With the help of his best friend Felix Stranger, an ill 13-year-old child, he will, in due course, make all his wishes come true.

This is a truly wonderful story, funny, sad and uplifting. The book just shows on how young children or adults right now should value life and make every minute of it very meaningful.


Stargirl


The story by Jerry Spinelli starts when a girl named Stargirl arrived at Mica High in Tenth grade after being home schooled for most of her life. The kids at mica had seen nothing like her before, she wore a long white dress plays her ukulele in the halls and carries her pet rat cinnamon with her everywhere she goes. Most importantly she can make anyone happy, when someone has scored top marks in their science test Stargirl knows about it and happily stands their cheering them on in the cafeteria. When its someones birthday Stargirl knows about it and strums her ukulele along to the birthday song beat. Stargirl soon became very popular and got asked to join the cheerleading squad. But some people were threatened by stargirl’s carefree ways and it wasn’t long before people tried to make her normal just like the rest of the kids at mica high boring, usual and plain.

The story leaves us a message that it’s not only in the physical looks or actions of a person that we should look into but it should be on what is really inside and the heart of the person.
