Anti-Bullying Read-a-thon wrap up!

Hello everyone! Usually I would make a video about this, but my camera somehow deleted my footage, so I decided to just make a post about it. For the Anti-Bullying Read-a-thon that happened this past week, I read 3 out of the 4 books that I had planned to read.



The first book I read was Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda by Becky Allbertalli


This book is about a boy named Simon who is black mailed by a classmate. When this classmate outs him, Simon has to go through the struggles of being a teenager, as well as being tormented for his coming out that was not even his own. I gave this book a four out of five stars because it was a great read, with a lot of feeling and suspense. 



The next book I read was Smile by Raina Telgemeier


This book is about a 10 year old girl named Raina, who has an accident that knocks out her front teeth, causing her to go through countless corrective measures, all while growing up, finding herself, and dealing with a hoard of  bullies pretending to be friends. I gave this book a four out of five stars because it is a great story with great art, as well as very helpful for teens growing up and finding themselves.


The final book I read was Wonder by R. J. Palacio


This is a book about Auggie, a ten year old boy with a face deformity. The story follows Auggie adjusting to his new school, Unfortunately people aren't so kind to Auggie. I gave this book a four out of five stars because it is a wonderful story about accepting people and not being quick to judge people by their features. Definatley something that every young/ middle grade child should read. (In my opinion it should be taught in schools)

Thank you guys for reading another one of my reviews, and I will see you soon with more!
