I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World (Young Readers Edition)

By Malala Yousafzai

This is an amazing book!😁 Malala yousfatsi is such an inspiring women. She had a hard life and worked through it. In this book you will learn about the challenges and little memories that make Malala who she is. One thing I like about her is she does not act like she is famous. She knows she is just a normal,regular person and she is very kind. I definitely recommend it, but if your younger than 8, some of the violence and the Taliban might scare you. In the book you also learn about a story of recovery. Overall, so far I think this book is really inspiring me and making me want to be an upstander more.

Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

By Rick Riordan

Zeus, Aphrodite, Persephone, many others gods and goddesses over thousands years ago before any modern technologies and writings even existed. Percy Jackson, as he talks about few gods and goddesses as our knowledge expands as we learn little more about them plus with small humor. There's even a legends, many of them, are said about them, as Percy himself talks in his point of view (POV) about them. I would definitely recommend this for this is really good plus funny one! - Happy Reading!
