My book report is on the book ‘Maniac Magee’ by Jerry Spinelli. The reason why I chose ‘Maniac Magee’ is because I love Jerry Spinelli books. They’re always very good. ‘Maniac Magee’ is kind of a ‘warm-your-heart’ book. I’ll tell you a little about the story‚ but not a lot‚ because I don’t want to spoil it for you! The story is about a young boy that runs away from his new home and the few new friends he meets along the way. Some of the characteristics about Magee are that he is sad a lot

select‚ The Mark of Athena‚ for my book report because of the writing style the author‚ Rick Riordan‚ decides to use‚ which creates suspense and heavy-action in a relaxed state causing you to never drop the book unless you’re forced to. I appointed this book for my book report over Riordan’s other books because this book contained more action and displays the perspectives of all seven of the main characters who all have different personalities‚ thus making for a book that can suit many different people

My report is on the book Toxic Parents by Dr. Susan Forward. I found this book very intrusting and scary in the same breath. I could not understand some of the hurt and pain parents inflict on their children. I do come from a home that was destroyed by divorce‚ alcohol and drug use. I can relate to some of the stories and it brought up my own struggles and made me question my own parents. I dont know what normal parents are but this book made it clear what is not healthy for children and even adults
