The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green

The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, is about Hazel Grace, a surviving cancer patient. Hazel goes to a support group, where she meets the hot, one-legged Augustus Waters. I really liked how John Green describes his charac-ter and how unexpected his plot twists were. If you’re going to read The Fault in Our Stars, caution!!! The book contains very sad things, and there’s a 95% chance that you’ll cry. You might like this book if you’ve read any other John Green books. For example: Paper Towns. You should really go check out this book!

Christy, by Catherine Marshall

Christy Huddleston goes to a backward mission in Tennessee to teach the children. I liked how she really cared for everyone, but disliked how you don’t know who she ends up marrying. Christy is a TV show and a movie. Someone who likes Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables will enjoy Christy.
