Hello. My name is Mosammat B. I am 13 years young. I really enjoy reading. For me reading is a time where I can relax and forget about my struggles. My favorite genres are fantasy/fairy tale, mysteries, fiction, realistic fiction. I am really not a fan of nonfiction though I have read some nonfiction books. It takes a while for me to find my choice of book. Whenever I check out a book from the library, I usually try to finish the book in less then a week.
Some books I have read are Two of the Lemony Snicket Books, The Dead series by Marlene Perez, and the Poison Apple Series. The Poison Apple series is mostly about vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other panoramic creatures. I enjoyed reading all 10 books and learning about creatures that don't exist. I've also read The Garden Of Eve by K.L Going. This book is about an 11 year old girl named Eve, whose mother has passed away from cancer. So Eve, and her Father purchases a withered apple orchard and moves to Beaumont New York. Eve isn't enjoying the new place, nor the apple orchard. She is especially disturbed by the fact that her new home is right in front of a Cemetery, which brings memories about her mom. Through out the book Eve learns more about Beaumont NY and the withered apple tree. She befriends a boy named Alex who is apparently a ghost, and they both set out to solve the mystery about the withered apple orchard. I really enjoyed reading this book multiple times because its a blend of fantasy and mystery. I also enjoyed reading some books by John Green, for example The Fault in our Stars, and Paper Towns. Those books really make me feel connected to the characters because they can relate to me.
When I was in Elementary school I just read books, and never noticed anything about them or jotted any notes. When I got to 4th grade I learned that books have lots of different things like symbols and lessons. In some of the books I have read have symbols in them. For Instance, a book I read in the summer, Olives Ocean, by Kevin Henkes. This book was about about a 12 year old girl named Martha Boyle, who finds out astonishing secrets about Olive Barstow, a classmate of hers that has passed away. When Olive's mother delivers a writing journal to Martha, Martha starts reading and finding many connections between her and Olive. For example, both girls want to become writers, and both enjoy the ocean, thou Olive has never seen one. Olive also writes in her entry she thinks Martha is the nicest person in class and one day they will hopefully be friends. This depresses Martha because she always thought Olive was a very weird girl and has never spoke to her. Martha goes to her grandma's who lives near the Atlantic ocean and saves a bottle of water to give Olive's mother which shows she really feels bad for Olive since she never got to see the ocean. The symbol in this story was the water because Olive is a reflection of Martha since they have so many similarities.
In the summer I have read a few books and mostly drew. I read the book A Summer of Goodbye (not sure if title is correct) This book was very depressing and it was about a girl who's brother has passed away from drowning. She is really depressed because she didn't help her brother from drowning. Its been 4 years and she is starting to accept her brother's death. But, when she babysits a strange boy, memories of her brother come rushing through her heart. Frankie, the boy she babysits is the same age as her b brother and likes everything her brother liked. They have many similarities. I have also read a few manga and anime books and comics.
