I love summer... having tons of time on your hands to do whatever you want. One of the things I love to do is catch up on reading the books that I want to read (not for assignments). Here are some of the books I'm hoping to read this summer:
1. Beautiful Boy by David Schiff: My mom read this book this past year and fell in love with it. It is an inspiring story from a dad's perspective about his teenage son. His son had been an honors student who was very involved in many activities. But this boy's world fell apart when he became addicted to meth. Beautiful Boy is an account of this boy's journey and struggles through his teenage years.
2. Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter. This is another recommendation from my mom. It is about a girl who has been in and out of fourteen foster homes the majority of her childhood. She struggles with many things - going to new schools, having abusive foster families. Three Little Words tells about how she finds herself and how she succeeds despite these hardships.

I want to read Beautiful Boy too! Maybe we can have a sisters book club? Or if Mom rereads it and Dad reads it we can have a family book club!
