I read the book Ask Me No Questions by Marina Budhos. It was basically about a girl named Nadira whose family immigrated to America illegally. They try to escape to Canada but get caught at the Canadian border. Nadira’s father gets arrested and Nadira and her sister, Aisha, have to move in with their aunt and uncle. Nadira and her family need to figure out a way to get out of this mess or they will be sent back to Bangladesh. I’d give this book a 3 ½ stars out of 5. I thought it was exciting and i could relate to Nadira as a regular teenage girl.

“Ask Me No Questions” by Marina Budhos was a very moving novel. It tells the story of a fourteen year old girl who lives illegaly in the United States after 9-11. The story show’s what life would be like through the eyes of immigrants during the time and how scary life can be when you don’t belong in your own home. The book was very good in many aspects, the author makes you feel as if you are in the book with Nadira and living through the fear she has to live with.

Unwind was a jaw dropping book involving action and drama that I couldn’t put down. This book is a unique story that was amazing throughout the entire book but, it was especially amazing when Conner and Risa were at the harvest camp. At this point in the book I could see the camp and what was going on so well I could have sworn it was a movie. The author does a great job in the beginning of the story with having you get to know the characters too; there isn’t a time when you don’t understand why the character did something because you feel like you know them so well. I couldn’t believe how much I knew about Conner before I was even done with the first chapter. That’s one of the many reasons I would recommend this book is because how clear it is. You always know what is going on in the character’s mind because the author makes it clear to the readers. I would also recommend this book because it has a little something for everybody. It has the drama transpiring between Conner, Risa, and Levi; it also has the suspense and thrill from Connor and Risa being on the run. I know that the suspense really got to me when I found myself just as alert and cautious as Risa and Connor were as they were running towards safety. This book is a spectacular story that cannot be replaced and I hope everyone takes the time to read Unwind by Neal Shusterman because I know that no one will regret it.
