Smile by Raina Telgemeier

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain
This was the first book we read junior year, I really liked this book and for our final essay I wrote a literary analysis about it.

This was a very odd book to read, every page had a different story it seemed and some of the pages would be be completely blank but each page had a different message that was being sent. It was a good novel but understanding it was difficult. -

I absolutely loved reading this book, it always kept me interested. We had a lot of fun while reading this book as well, we watched the movie and got to dress up like we’re in the 20’s and have a big Gatsby party at the Elliot house. Definitely one of my favorite highschooo moments.
