The Fault in Our Stars
Written by John Green
This novel is about a sixteen-year-old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster. H
azel is a cancer patient, she has thyroid cancer that spread to her lungs. She is forced by her parents to join a support group. Until later on, she doesn’t realize that joining the support was the best thing of her life because she meets a boy name Augustus Water, who she later on falls in love with. Augustus is an ex-basketball player. Why ex? Well, Augustus is an amputee, his osteosarcoma caused him to loose a leg. The title, The Fault in Our Stars, was inspired by a scene from Shakespeare. Cassius told Brutus, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
According to an eighth grader, “I love The Fault in Our Stars because it’s such a romantic book but it’s not an ordinary romantic book. Did I mention that Gus and Hazel have cancer? They do and that is what makes it so special.”
– Abigail Rodriguez
If you love romantic books, this could be for you.

Digimon Tamers
About the book: Digimon Tamers is about three kids by the name of Rika, Henry, and our main character, Takato. Takato and the others are digimon fans, but when they meet real digimons, they all become digimon tamers. Now they need to take care of their partner, but taking care of a digimon is more difficult than taking care of a toddler. Anyways, the problem is that Rika thinks that digimons should fight. Henry think that digimons should not fight, but Takato is somewhere in the middle.
Heres a link to see a preview.
This manga is unique because it’s from a kind-of-popular series called “Digimon” and has a different art style than most manga you could find. The style of the manga is more like chibi than normal style.
Manga tip of the day! Also when reading manga remember that unlike comics you’re suppose to read it from right to left and not left to right. Like how this picture shows.
Readers: This book is for ages 10+
