Guts is a true story about a girl named Raina who learns how to survive and get over her fears. She is bullied by a girl named Michelle but later on she befriends her because they realize they have so much in common. I can relate to this book because Raina handles her problems and fears like I do and eventually try to get over them, which is why I give this book a four star review. I recommend this book to people who are interested in people solving problems.

The Dark Side of Nowhere is about children who have been called together to form a cult or better yet an alliance. The children are being taught things that their parents chose to forget about or tried to at least, in the tiny town of Billington I believe the author has done a great job with explaining the characters and telling what is happening and where they are. I would rate this book a four star rating because I could relate to some of the characters and it takes you on a roller coaster of feelings and adventures. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in books with thrillers and plot twists.

I decided to read it because it was going to be the book that would help with my biography report. It had great information if you ever needed to read or know about Annie Sullivan and her student Hellen Keller. It tells that Annie also grew up blind but eventually her sight got better and was sent to a foster home after the age of ten or eleven.
