Celine's+Books

Hi, this is Celine (vikkingkitty) and here are some books I LUV. Edited on June 17, 2009 ** __Fat Chance__ (By: Leslea Newman): ** Judi Lebowitz always dreamed of being thin. Being in the 8th grade, it seemed to be the only thing a girl could care about. Then she meets Nancy Pratt, who's of course perfect and rail skinny. When Judi discovers Nancy's binge and purge cycles, she then decides to try it herself and is then pulled into more problems than she put up for. The diary of Judi and her difficulty with dealing with bulimia is an exciting, quick read that every girl should read! ** Go Ask Alice (By: Anonymous): ** This is the diary of a girl who's around the age of 15 and has just moved to a new house with her family. She plans to have a fresh start, make new friends, join clubs at school, etc. But when she soon mixes with the wrong crowd, things get complicated. She's soon introduced to Pot and LSD, she then becomes confused with what really matters in life, and more importantly, what step to take next. She then is uncertain whether to run away or stay put and tell her family. Life isn't as it used to be. People are different, and so is the world when she starts using drugs. **P.S.** There's a 70's movie of Go Ask Alice on Youtube, just type in 'Go Ask Alice ~ Clip 1 of 14' the username is mooncrystal. Also, it's not an extremely well done movie, but its ok to watch (don't expect any super effects or anything) and you might want to read the book before hand or it'll be a major spoiler. **WARNING:** it is a little PG-13 ish (illegal drugs being used and sold, no language).

** __Acceleration__ (By: Graham McNamee): ** Seventeen-year-old Duncan is haunted by the fact that he was unable to save a drowning girl a few yards away one fateful afternoon the previous September. This summer he has a job working underground at the Toronto subway lost and found where he uncovers, amid the piles of forgotten junk, an opportunity to exorcise his own guilty demons. When business is slow, Duncan spends his time rummaging through dusty shelves and boxes of unclaimed items. During one of these sessions, he uncovers a strange, leather-bound book that turns out to be the diary of a would-be serial killer. Unable to tear himself from the gory descriptions of tortured animals and arson, he discovers that the writer has started to stalk women on the subway. When the police seem disinterested, the teen takes matters into his own hands, and with the aid of his two best friends, tries to track and trap the murderer before he can strike. This chilling page-turner is all thrills, and the author cleverly manipulates readers' sense of disbelief by eliminating the possibility of police help or parental understanding. What results is one teen's self-conscious yet fast-paced journey into the mind of a cold-blooded killer, and the resulting manhunt will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Srry, but I'm having difficulty putting a picture of the cover of Acceleration (but you can find it on Google). **Go Ask Alice** ** - Youtube Link for Movie: ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaNoouj_dwM&feature=related
