A fiction book about farm animals inspired by their dying friends speech to take over the farm for they are not pets and are meant to be wild.
I liked this book because of how well the author is able to describe the conflicts in between the animals and humans and how he is able to really show the difference between good and bad people/creatures.

When I finished this book, I didn't know what to think of it. After reading the author's One of Us is Lying, I was anticipating something equally as appealing with a great ending...however, I was left reading this bland book with a boring ending.

Much like The Fault in Our Stars, Everything, Everything is about a sick teenage girl who falls in love with a boy. Sounds pretty simple, right? Wrong. The story follows Madeline (Maddy) Whittier, an 18-year-old who is confined to her home because she suffers from SCID, or severe combined immunodeficiency

Great book where three stories from different time periods connect at the end. Josef, a Jewish boy escaping Nazi Germany in the 1930s, Isabel, a Cuban girl escaping Castro's regime in 1994, and Mahmoud, a Syrian boy fleeing from the conflict in Syria in 2015.
