The Absolutely True Diary of a Part time Indian by Sherman Alexie
This book was a very interesting book about a Indian boy living in modern times. He grew up being very different from the other kids. He lived on a reservation, with tough kids, who would pick on him for his many differences. He wasn't good at much, except that he was extremely smart. In the end he leaves the reservation and goes to an all white school, where he has to work hard. Eventually he becomes one of the first to leave the reservation. I thought this book was great and taught me many life lessons. It was also very interesting to find out the story of the boy, turned out to be the author.

Maze Runner by James Dashner
This is about a boy named Thomas who wakes up in the middle of a maze. All he remembers is his name and people surround him who call themselves the glades. They have been trying to escape the maze since they all got there, but haven't found a way. Things change when Thomas and the first girl show up. Eventually they figure out an escape from the maze, but it turns out that was only the beginning. "The Maze Runner" is a great action packed book that didn't stop surprising me.
