Best Books I’ve ever Read.

I have read a lot of books, but my favorite books are those written by R. L. Stine, especially those of the "Fear Street" series. My other personal favorite book is called "Esperanza Rising" by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Well today in my blog, I am going to be writing a little bit about these books.

Brief Summary:

Well since this is a series of books, there are a lot of different stories and scenarios. But basically, these books are about different teenagers facing different mysteries, such as someone getting killed, their friends disappearing, and usually when the mystery is solved, the person committing the crime is so unexpected, such as a teacher killing the students, or a jealous sister kidnapping her other sister's friends.

The thing I love about the "Fear Street" series is the way that the author implements fear and shocking twists into every page. These books are so well written that they suck you into the story, and make you feel as if you were part of the story. The other thing I like about these books is because the characters are teenagers, and other teenagers can relate to them. Overall, I think that these are great books to read, especially on a cold fall or winter day, and also, they are a great way to build up your vocabulary.

Next book that I am going to write about is "Esperanza Rising" by Pam Muñoz Ryan.

Brief Summary:

The story starts off with a young, rich girl that lives on a big vineyard farm in Aguascalientes Mexico. She thought she would always live a nice, happy life, surrounded by all her beautiful dresses and servants. But then one day right before her birthday, her father gets killed while repairing a fence in the outskirts of their ranch. Suddenly all her life caved in on her. Her mom, abuela, and Esperanza suddenly went from being on top of the world, to becoming third world citizens. After a while, Esperanza's two powerful uncles (one is the municipal president, the other runs a wealthy bank) Tio Luis, and Tio Jorge burn their home and try to convince her mother to marry one of them. After hearing this, Esperanza and her mother, along with their servants Alonso and his wife and son, flee to work the United States, where they settle down to work in horrible conditions in the busy agricultural town of Arvin, in California. After her mom gets real ill, she is forced to enter the work force.

The thing I find most interesting in this story is that coincidently, Aguascalientes (the Mexican state in which Esperanza lived) and her ranch, is 80 miles away from the town my parents grew up in, and where we go vacation. And oddly, the City of Arvin, where Esperanza and her mom settled down to work, is 80 miles away from the city I currently live in. This book is really a great book to read, especially if you are in the mood for a story that was based on a true story. This book is really cool!
