The Little Prince

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is a book about a man who crashes his plane in the Sahara desert. When he wakes up he sees a boy above him. Through drawings and description he describes the boy and calls him the little prince. The first thing the little prince asks is for the man to draw him a sheep. After this, they talk and the man learns about the Little Princes journey. He is from a tiny planet, and all he has to talk to is a flower. So he left, and visited other comets. On the comets he meets interesting new people, but then leaves. Once he comes to earth all he finds is animals, until he finds the man. They are both really childish and become friends. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick read.
The new genre I want to try is nonfiction. If you have any good recommendations, one type of nonfiction that I like is memoirs.

Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Landline is about a woman named Georgie, and her husband Neal. Neal leaves with their two young daughters to go to Nebraska for Christmas, but Georgie has to stay in Los Angeles to work. Georgie realizes that her marriage may be over, and Neal may have left her for good. But then, when she calls Neal
from a rotary phone in her Mom's house she realizes that she is calling the Neal who left her to go to Nebraska 14 years ago. She wonders if she should break up with him, or if she should try to make something better and fix her marriage. This book is not very long, and is really interesting. If you have read Rainbow Rowell books before, this is a lot like her other books so if you liked those, I would recommend this.

This One Summer

This One Summer is a graphic novel about two friends visiting the beach in Florida in the summer. One of the girls parents are fighting, and she is having a really hard time. The other girl has a really loud and happy personality, and she is one year younger. The girls always visit a small store, and they find out a lot about what is happening to the people who work at the store. I think this book would be really good for anyone who is interested in graphic novels, but is has some mature topics and language. I think that Willa or Sofie might be some people who would really enjoy this book.
