Runaway

 I just finished reading “Runaway” by Wendelin Van draanen. The book is written in a diary form, she included the dates and the time. The main characters name is holly.

When she was younger her mom struggled with money so she had to steal from shops she stole money, jewelry, food, etc.  her mom found a man that they called a “doctor” but he sold drugs to people ( read to find out what happens). Then, she was put in a foster home her “parents” were really mean to her. When she was bad they would  make her sleep in the laundry room for days and they wouldn’t give her food. One day on her way home she thought about not coming home so she stayed on the bus and waited for the last bus stop. She snuck into many trucks to get to her destination which was The beach in California. She meets many people on her way and something good happens to her at the end. Its A really good book so I recommend it.

Being Dead

  The book I just finished reading is called “being dead” by Vivian Vance Velde. Every chapter is a new story. The first chapter is called “drop by drop” I’m not going to say everything that happens, but it’s a very interesting book to read about so I recommend it. Especially if you like ghost stories or just a story that might give you a chill down you’re spine.

One of my favorite chapter was about this one girl who had cancer. She worked at a museum and it was closing down for spring and she saw a ghost that looked her age and passed away a long time ago. No one would believe her about the ghost. She always asked him how he died or who killed him but he didn’t know so he couldn’t tell her. Something happenes but you have to read to find out

There’s a story about this kid who passes out newspapers and this man jumped out the window and he fell on the kid and  this lady and her daughter where walking and the lady was about to pass away and she saw the boy in the book they said that people that are close to death can see the dead and she  saw the boy (read to find out)

The whole book was about stories and was really interesting and I really recommend the book. I hope you like the book too.
