Saving Lucas Biggs; El Deafo; Wonder; Home of the Brave
5. OUT OF MY MIND BY SHARON M. DRAPER [goodreads]
This book follows a girl named Melody who is mute and cannot walk, but she has a very good photographic memory. She's also extremely smart - smarter than the adults who try to diagnose her, and smarter than her classmates - those same classmates that just dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can't do anything to stop it. But Melody will not be defined by cerebral palsy, and she's going to let everyone know... somehow.
4. HOME OF THE BRAVE BY KATHERINE APPLEGATE [goodreads]
This book is told in verse and told in the point of view of a refugee from Sudan named Kek, and basically just all the things that happen in Minnesota. One part that I really liked about this book is it has a very good balance between being funny and being serious. I highly recommend!
3. EL DEAFO BY CECE BELL [goodreads]
This is a graphic memoir about a girl who's d/Deaf and gets a giant hearing aid that she has to wear. I expected it to be a lot more serious, but it ended up being really light-hearted and fun!
2. SAVING LUCAS BIGGS BY MARISA DE LOS SANTOS AND DAVID TEAGUE [goodreads]
This novel follows a girl named Margaret whose father is unfairly sentenced to death by the awful Judge Biggs, making Margaret determined to save him. Even though she'll have to use her family's forbidden, secret power: time travel. With the help of her friend Charlie and his grandpa, Margaret goes back to the time when Judge Briggs was a young boy, trying to stop the things that changed him into a horrible, corrupt man. I read this quite a few years ago and I've said a couple times that I need to reread this, but I remember very much enjoying it!
1. WONDER BY R.J. PALACIO [goodreads]
Now, this is a fairly popular book, but I absolutely. Freaking. ADORE this book. I love it so so so much. To put it simply (as, like I said, popular book) it's about Auggie Pullman who was born with a facial deformity, and for all his life he had been home schooled, but now he's going to fifth grade at a "mainstream" school. And it's basically just all the things that happen to him while there. Also, in case you didn't know, they're actually making a movie for Wonder, coming out later this year! So in case you haven't gotten around to this one yet, make sure you do, not only because it's incredible but also for the movie!
And that's all for now! Let me know down below if you've read any of these books before and your thoughts on them. If you liked this post then don't forget to hit that follow button! Bye guys!
