Sarah Dessen

I know that with testing coming up, we all need a silent reading book. I recommend any book by Sarah Dessen. But not if you are boy. Sarah Dessen books are the Chick-flicks of reading. There are two types of people when it comes to these books. There are the "Ugh, they are all the same." And there are the "I LOVE SARAH DESSEN" type of people. I am the 2nd person. If you've never read any of her books, start with one and see if you like. Then read another one and decide if you want to enter the world of drama, romance, humor and uplifting messages.

Something really cool that Sarah Dessen does is tie all of her books together. After reading them, you notice that there is always something connecting each of the books together. It is a giant web of craziness that is so awesome. How she manages to do it, I do not know. It shows you how everyone around you has this whole life, and another story that you have no idea about, because you are in your own story. But in the end, we are all connected.

The first book I read by her was Lock and Key. Although I think they are all great, my favorite has to be The Truth About Forever. I'm very excited for her new book that comes out May 5th called Saint Anything . On sarahdessen.com it says "...Sarah Dessen explores her signature themes of family, self-discovery, and change in her twelfth novel, sure to delight her legions of fans."


Hope everyone has a good week of testing and finds a good book to read!
