bookmonkey Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Can anyone recommend a book for my daughter for a school assignment. I know there's plenty that would suit, but can't seem to think of anything. She needs a book about 'coping with the unpredictableness of life makes us stronger.' TIA Edit to add: She's 16, so YA or adult would be good. Edited June 12, 2014 by bookmonkey Quote
Hayley Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I would definitely recommend I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. It fits the criteria perfectly, although it's hard to explain exactly why without giving away what happens in the story! It has a brilliant message about ordinary people's ability to be extraordinary, and to learn from their past and their mistakes and keep going. And it has a really good mystery element, which really makes you want to read the whole thing in one go! It also won the Michael Printz award for excellence in Young Adult literature Quote
bookmonkey Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks Hayley. I'll pass that on to her. She's requested The Fault in Our Stars from the library, but probably wouldn't get it in time. Quote
Athena Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 The Fault in Our Stars was the one I was thinking of but I wasn't 100% sure. Quote
