Fledgling.

                           by octavia E. Butler.

I Started readin this book about a week ago, its starts out really dramatic, and intrigued me right away... its starts like this

"I awoke to darkness. i was hungry..starving and i was in pain, there was nothin in my world, but hunger and pain no other people no other time no other feelings".

 From that point on i never really put it down. The main charaters name is Shori (witch you dont find out till about the seventh chapter), for the first couple chapters you spend with her in a cave, she remembers nothing, not why she is there or how she got there or even who she is... she is burned badly, blind and still very hungry she lays there for a couples days until she feels her self healing. Some thing comes into the cave after it gets close she kills it and eats it.. she grows stronger and go out to hunt she kills three dears and gets way stronger.

 after a while she gets curiuos and goes out to look for some thing that might help her remember. she finds what looked like a community but it was burned to the groud. she wonders if this is where she was from, was this how she was burned so badly? is this why she could not remember? this book has givin me alot to think about i loved how it made complete sense and everything came together. Even thought this is a vampire book thats not really what it is.. it shows you no matter what color, race, or even species you are we can all work together and make it work, maby not exactly how we want but enough for all of us to be happy and smile..

"Please Stop Laughing At Me"

   Written by:Jody Blanco.

The name of my book is "Please Stop Laughing At Me"

"Please Stop Laughing At Me", is a true story of a girl that from a young age, all the way throu school was tourmented by school bullies. she is not only emotionly but physicaly. This book is at times very hard to read, It makes your stomach wrench, your eye's fill with tears & your anger fly throu the roof.

Jodee Blanco was a normal kid she loved to play with her toys and run around out side, the only real difference is she was intuned with life, she was open minded with a sense of what she wanted. It started in a place she should of been safe, her own school. She was only in junior high
