Kyle's Little Sister
Kyle's Little Sister written and illustrated by BonHyung Jeong is a middle school level book that is based on a television show. It is a graphic novel about how Kyle's little sister fits in with her new school surroundings. This could be a good story to share if siblings go to the same school. There are plenty of lessons that readers can learn in how to make friends the right and wrong ways, but kids need to learn.

'This Side of Paradise'
Here is a critique of a classic novel that I just finished about a week ago. The name of the novel is 'This Side of Paradise'. The author is quite famous for a lot of his work. His name is F. Scott Fitzgerald. My idea is to start reading or even re-reading and offering reviews and critiques of my collection of classic novels that I have bought over the years.

Fahrenheit 451: A Critique
An incendiary critique of censorship and suppression. Set in a future where books burn, it feels all too prescient when writing has become an act of resistance and politicians ban books for votes. Bradbury’s warning against sacrificing knowledge on society’s altar is a chilling reminder of the power of information.

Twilight
An awkward teenager. A sparkly vampire. A besotted werewolf. Love it or hate it, the cultural impact of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight is undeniable. Combining supernatural themes with young adult romance for the first time, the series paved the way for a new sub-genre in fiction and has become truly iconic.
