Sue Monk Kidd
This book is about a girl named Lily. It is set in the 60s in South Carolina. Lily runs away because her father, T. Ray is abusive and very mean. She runs away with Rosaleen who was her stand in mother and was one of T. Ray's slaves. The two of them are taken in by three black bee keeping sisters who take care of them. It is very interesting, especially looking at how each of the girls is treated differently by different people. This is a really good book that I would recommend to anybody. This is a book almost all about girls but the book group I am in is all boys who chose to join it and everybody has liked this book.

The Secret Life of Bees
This book is about a girl named Lily. It is set in 1864 in South Carolina. Lily runs away because her father, T. Ray is abusive and very mean. She runs away with Rosaleen who was her stand in mother and was one of T. Ray's slaves. The two of them are taken in by three black bee keeping sisters who take care of them. It is very interesting to look at how people treated each other, especially depending on the race of the person. I would recommend this book to anybody even though it is mostly about girls(I still really like it)

Poem
Limerick (AABBA)
My brother is dramatic
So we send him to the attic
He pretends to have fallenAnd he really starts Bawl'n
But really it is anti climatic

The 5th Wave
By Rick Yancey
This is one of my favorite books that I have ever read. It is about a character named Cassie who is trying to survive an alien invasion from "The Others." It also goes from the perspective of Ben Parish who is a boy that Cassie used to have a crush on before the invasion. And Cassie's younger brother Sammy. It goes through what is happening in each of their lives and how the invasion from the others has changed everything and everyone. I would recommend this book to anyone but this book is also a really long (about 450 pg) and takes about two weeks.
