Ana's Story by Jenna Bush - reviewed by Brianna H. Do you love a novel that makes you cry? This true-story romantic novel is written in way that helps the reader feel what life is like in a poor family.
I would recommend this novel to people who have a hard life at home, or anyone in need of some hope. Also people who think they can only read fiction, not non fiction, as this is written as fiction would be. Ana suffers abuse from a close relative after both her parents die from HIV/AIDS and they find out she has HIV as well (contracted from her mom). Moving from her Abuela's house to her great aunt's house, and many more houses after that, Ana believes she and her child will never have a normal life. Then things take an unexpected turn and this book holds many surprises. The author of this narrative non-fiction is Jenna Bush, daughter of former US President George Bush. She wrote this book after doing an internship for Unicef, where she met many young people with stories similar to Ana's. Run to pick up a copy of Ana's story and feel like you are in the book Brianna H.

A book review by guest reviewer Brianna H. The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingleman-Sundberg
I would be worried if my parents or grandparents wanted to go to prison instead of stay in their retirement home. The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules is about Martha and her friends wanting to escape their retirement home to get into prison. It feels you are committing all the crimes with the four characters, and experiencing all the trouble and hardships they experience. I think you would like to read this book if you like comedy, mystery and adventure books. This is a comedy because what this old lady says is not what normal people say and mystery because it is a mystery of why they do some of their crimes. In the book, these old folks break into a museum and ask for some ransom money, and they break into lockers at their hotel. So will these old folks go to jail? Run on over to the library or bookstore to pick up a copy of The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules! |
