Looking For Alaska is about a boy who leaves home for a boarding
school and begins to fully experience the world.
I really enjoyed this book because not only is it very playful and easy to read, but also because it shows how life can be confusing or difficult, with the possibility of changes happening at any given moment. The conflicts and the storylines in the book are realistic and relatable to a teenager’s life.

Maus is an autobiographical graphic novel. It depicts the author interviewing his father about his experience as a Polish Jew and as a Holocaust survivor.
I enjoyed reading this graphic novel because it was easy to read and also showed how life can be all about adaptation and survival. I would recommend this novel to anyone who wants more insights about the Holocaust but would caution readers who are sensitive to the subject.
