• Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet by Kasmira Sheth
  

  This was an excellent book. I did it for a book report and before I knew little about modern day India and the traditions. Jeeta was easy to relate to and I found myself rooting for her almost immedia tely. However the books ending leaves you wondering whats next (and there's no sequel). Overall, this book was very good and I would recommend it.

• Notes from the Midnight Driver by Jordan Sonnenblick
  

  This book was excellent, and very funny. It's about this 16 year old who gets community service after driving drunk without a license. He has to talk to Sol, this hilarious elderly man. The funniest part is all of the Yiddish in this book. I highly reccomend it.
