Vote for my Favourite Books that I have Read-Mina

I have read many books during this summers. I almost liked each and every book that i read, here are three of the favourite books.
Mood Indigo by Allen, Charlotte Vale, 1941-, 284 pages
- This book was really good. From the beginning to the end the book was full of suspense. Even the title of the book is unique and mystifying. The title and the genre of the book are the two things that mad me interested in the book.This book is full of suspense. The book is a great book, and I would definitely recommend it to many other teens to read it and especially to teens that love mystery, suspense genres and to teens that wants to be a detective or a mystery author. After I started reading the book I couldn’t put it down without finishing it.The author wrote in a way that she knows it will attract mystery lovers. I really enjoyed reading the book.
The First Stone by Don Aker,1955, 228 pages
- The begining of the book was a little boring but ita actually got more and more interesting as book continued on. In the book the author used a technique called "page-turner. What i mean by page-turner is that in one paragraph or a page the author expressed the feelings of one character (Reef) and what is happening to them in one and in the next page or paragraph he expressed the feelings and what is happening to the other main character (Leeza). This page turner style of writing created suspense in the book because at some times the author at an interesting part skipped over to the other character. I like it when there is supense in the book, it also makes me not to put the book down. ALso the writing style will help readers understand better of what the character is thinking. Also the book has some valuable lessons that we can all learn suhc as how one bad thing that we can do can affect others' lives. I would reccomend this book to someone who wants to read a book with a little suspense, and don' want to read a book that has a ending where "they happily ever after."
Chanda's Secrets, 193 pages- This book made me realize many of the issues around the world. Some of the issues that this book made me to realize are poverty, and HIV/AIDS. Also this book made me to realize how fortunate i am. It also made me to appreciate the stuff that I have access to such as free education, water, and other stuff that are big to those people who live in developing countries. I would definately reccomend all teens to read no matter their likes in reading cause this book will teach people some stuff, and this story will touch the readers' heart cause this is a true story of a woman living in South Africa.
