I remember reading "The BreadWinner" In like 8th grade that was a great book.
But for one of my Honors english books to read. Theres "Parvana's Journey". Where she goes on a journey to find her Mother and sisters. It was ok i put Question marks by that book because i dont think i would ever want to read a book for a series i read in 8th grade.
Then theres "Shiva's Fire" its so amazing its about this girl who is born during one of Indias Monsoons. And she is born wiht this curse of some sort. Animals walk by her side and she can dance liek their Lord Shiva. SHe even danced right through flames of a burning fire and came out with out any burns. When shes offered to go to a dancing place. She finds her destiny and a roimance. This is one of the few i really want to read for this project.
Then theres. "Running on Eggs" Theres a land (the summary didnt say) where Arabs and Jews are forced to share. And Yet they hate eachother but two girls (one jew and one Arab) become friends because of the combined Jew/Arab track team. Though one girls' family wont let her becaus of the track uniforms but she promise the other girl to help wiht training. They secretly meet in the 'No Mans Land' to train, though things go wrong when Kareans little brother spys on them and sees what really is happening.
Then "Red Scarf Girl" About a girl who is in China and a Army lady comes to their class and asks for her and another boy to go to the gym the army lady asked how flexible they are. They did back bends then after class they were notified that they can be auditions for a danceing group for the CHinese army to help support them. But Then as she grows up doing this she realizes whats rigth and whats wrong.
The 2nd to last book "Chinese Cinderella" Its about this girl who was born and then three days later her mother gets sick. Then when shes two weeks old her mother dies. Her father remarried and her step siblings are treated better than her and her real siblings. Shes torchured and abused. Though she keeps her head high and manages to be successful by getting through school and getting high grades.
The Last book on my list "I will Plant You a Lilac Tree" Is about one of the Schindlers List survivors and a memoir to them Its goes through them all. How when Hitler first started into power. Then how they are baorded into Auchiwits. Then how Schiondler comes and saves them. They we're saved and she was so young. Its goes through it all.
