Yesterday I read "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli per the recommendation of my delightful friend Rachel. I think I liked it? The moral of the story was really good; it's all about being yourself and putting other people first. It left me feeling a little sad and unsettled though. For that reason I give it 3.5 stars. I always prefer books with happy endings.
Today I read "The Horse and His Boy" by C. S. Lewis per the recommendation of my friend Kevin. It's one of the Chronicles of Narnia. I read most of them when I was in sixth grade, but I'd never read that one before. He actually recommended that I re-read the entire series, and I probably will over the course of the summer, but for my 20 books list he specifically told me to read this one. It was a good, fast, easy read. C. S. Lewis's writing is fun to read and I enjoyed this book. 4 stars.
Incidentally, I am currently faced with a dilemma: I have an Amazon.com gift card and I have no idea what to get with it. I am wide open to suggestions; feel free to comment.
