my sisters keeper

My Sisters Keeper is a very touching story telling the tale of a family who isn't quite as you would call, normal. Kate Fitzgerald was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic leukemia when she was only aged two. Her parents made the decision to have a 'test tube baby', so they could give Kate anything she needed to in order to survive her disease. Fourteen years later, Kate is sixteen and the 'test tube baby', is named Anna and is thirteen years old. Anna has finally decided that she's had enough after her mother told her that she will need to donate a kidney to her poorly sister. When Anna says she wont do it, her mother gets furious. Anna then decides to take matters into her own hands and a hire her own lawyer, Campbell Alexander, for a petition to get medical emancipation for her rights to decide about her medical treatment. At the end of the story something terrible happens to the Fitzgerald family. When I was reading this book I felt as if the story was true. The author captures the life of everyone involved with a cancer patient in the family and how one person can change many lives forever. I would definitely rate this book nine out of ten, but it's so sad that I couldn't possibly rate this book ten out of ten.

John Green has done an amazing job in writing this book because it will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Hazel and Augustus do everything together, until one day while in Amsterdam for a short holiday, Augustus tells Hazel some very bad news about his cancer. Then something awful happens.

Henderson's Boys: Eagle Day

 

 

              This book is the second in the series of Henderson's Boys. This book is just as great as the previous book. He is also the author of the famous Cherub books. Robert Muchamore (the author) has been able to use the time setting and all the characters very well.

            He is also very good at keeping the reader interested throughout the book and I found it hard to put it down.

            I give this book 9 out of 10 as I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to the next book, Henderson's Boys: Secret Army!
