The book "A Raisin in the Sun" takes place in a Chicago neighborhood of African Americans in the 1950s. Three generations of the Younger family live in a small, dilapidated apartment that serves as the setting for the entire book. The family members argue with one another throughout the book about their own goals and objectives while coping with the challenges of being a Black family in the time before the Civil Rights movement.

The Yearling is the best book for capturing the bond between a youngster and a pet. A little boy named Jody takes in an abandoned deer he names Flag and raises it as a member of his family and best friend. However, due to the terrible conditions of life in the Florida backwoods, where his family must battle wolves, bears, and even alligators, as well as the failure of their precarious subsistence farming, Jody must ultimately say goodbye to his beloved animal companion. This compelling tale, a magnificent piece of great American literature, has inspired a movie and even a musical.

Have you heard of the book Lord of Flies? It's not about flies for sure. The book was written by Sir William Gerald Golding. He was noted for his dark novel, and he also won the Nobel Prize of 1983 for literature. Common Sense Media suggests this book is for kids over 12 years old. I need to let our younger audiences know in advance, there’s violence in this book.

I would recommend this book to people because of its enticing storyline and theme. I was immediately hooked. Some portions of this book can be dark and complicated, but other parts can be happy and enlightening. This book can also make you realize that power can lead to corruption, fear, and death. Because of this book, many people have realized how important law and society is.

I Hope you enjoy this episode!

One of my favorite books this year is Being Miss Nobody, by Tamsin Winter. This emotional book is about an 11 year old girl called Rosalind, who suffers from a condition called Selective Mutism. Selective Mutism is a social anxiety disorder, where people who suffer from this can’t speak in some situations. She gets bullied a lot at school, and she even gets the nickname “Mute-Ant”. Rosalind can’t stand up to these bullies, so she decides to start a blog. She names it Miss Nobody. Her story is really inspiring. I Hope you will enjoy it too!
