Book Reviews

THE TIME CAPSULE by Lurlene McDaniel

THE TIME CAPSULE is the best book I've ever read.  Most books by Lurlene 
McDainel are sad and make you cry, as is this one.  THE TIME CAPSULE is about 
twins and one of them has cancer.  There is a touch of love, and it's a book 
that any teen girl would adore.

MY OWN WORST ENEMY by Carol Sonenklar

This is a five star book for all girls who feel different from everyone 
else.  A girl named Eve speaks out against "normal girls" and how 
stereotyping isn't good.  Her parents complain she needs to be more "normal" 
while her true self is hidden.  All the time her Dad is Mr. Mom and the house 
is filthy because he is to busy with his construction work to clean it.  I 
really related to Eve about the way she feels about "normal" girls and peer 
pressure.  This book is a must read for anyone who has ever felt like they 
don't fit in.
