I just recently started reading the manga Hikaru No Go and I love it. It's about a boy named Hikaru Shindo who's ambition is to become one of the best Go players in Japan. He is aided by a master go-playing spirit, Fujiwara-no-Sai, who can only be seen by Hikaru. In volume 9, Shindo's friends help strengthen his skills as a go player by frequenting go-salons. On one such occasion, Hikaru accidently insults another expert player and the situation can only be resolved through a game of Go. Since both players are respected for their exceptional skill at the game, the reader doesn't necessarily believe the main character will win. You just have to wait till the end to find out. Hikaru No Go shows us that even if your as young as 14 years old, you can commit to accomplishing your dreams at any age. The art is remarkable, and the story telling is well-paced, easy to read and suspensefull aswell as funny.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a coming of age about awkward 15 year old Charlie who is starting his freshman year of High School and dealing with the death of his best friend Micheal. When meets two step siblings, Sam and Patrick, he finally feels more open and free. Charlie goes through life and comes across love, friendship, and drugs and learns the harsh facts of life. I would strongly suggest this book; however, some aspects of the book or movie maybe too mature for some kids. All in all it is an outstanding book.

Recommended to:  16+ (if younger, talk to your parents first.)

Best Book I Have Ever Read!! It's About A Mother Who  Has Been Searching For Years To Find The Body Of Her Missing 7 Year Old And The Person Who Murdered Her...Read It It's Very Interesting !!My favorite thing about this book is that it's interesting how Eve (Bonnie's Mother)never gives up in trying to find Bonnie even after so many years have gone by. It's sad because in the end I find out that it was her grandfather that was involved in her murder even if it was accidental. I like how this whole book was plotted out and how it actually brought some emotion.
