Bless the Beasts and Children (that movie from the 70's) became a book. The author is Glendon Swarthout, It is about 6 wimpy boys at a western summer camp, trying to free buffalo from being slaughtered. I would rate this book 9 out of 10. It has mild swaring and explict images on the buffalo being slaughtered. You would have to be mature enough to read it.

I read it in jr. high, although most ppl might not think it's the most politcally correct book to read for that age...but it was the one book that was my "break through" book - where I really discovered I loved to read...etc. It was Lord of the Flies. A REALLY short book, but i had wished it had gone on and on and on...

Pick something that looks a little difficult for you. Read about something you've never read about before. Learning new stuff makes you feel good about yourself. Push yourself a little everyday...its good in the long run!
