I'm trying to do this thing where I have to chose a really inspirational book and write about it. So could you name some middle school/ high school level books that changed your life in a way and was very inspirational?Most inspirational and life changing fiction book?Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is amazing.Most inspirational and life changing fiction book?Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
http://www.amazon.com/Illusions-AdventurMost inspirational and life changing fiction book?The only book I ever really read like that was Go Ask Alice. But that's kind of more girly. It was a girl's real diary, of course published anonymously. It talked about how someone snuck drugs in her drink at a party which made her an addict at 15 years old. It just showed me how careful you have to be - the world can be a scary place.
Actually, I'm reading The Alchemist right now. My best guy friend thinks it's the greatest book ever so I borrowed it from him. It's about following your dreams and stuff.Most inspirational and life changing fiction book?i was rather inspired by harry potter (i must sound like a freak)...but it's about love and friendship and good winning out over evil...and harry's really just a normal kid for the most part...he's 11 the first time he faces voldemort (i didn't count when voldy tried to kill him...harry didn't really face him)...but i just goes to show that anything is possible if you believe in it enough and are willing to fight for it.Most inspirational and life changing fiction book?Aside from Harry Potter, I believe my most inspiring books must be:
'The Little Prince' by Antoine Saint-Exup茅ry (also known as 'Le Petit Prince' in its original French version, both versions are the same and equally amazing if you happen to be able to read both languages). It is about a fighter pilot who crashes in the middle of the desert. While there he meets a young boy from another planet. This is a short, heart-warming story that is one of my favourite books of all time.
'Good Enough' by Paula Yoo is about a Korean girl who is gifted in the violin. She is about to graduate from high school. She meets a boy who plays the trumpet when she is at her state auditions, and develops a crush. Meanwhile, she is struggling with her parents' tight grip on her life. I especially related to this book, being Asian and having such an academically-ruled life.
'No Word For Goodbye' by John Craig is about two boys, one white and one native american, that forge a friendship during summer vacation. This book talks about racism and other things, and has a very sad ending. It is now out of print and rare, and I hope that I will soon own a copy.
Some more are 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green, 'Maniac McGee' by Jerry Spinelli, 'Stars' by Eric Walters, 'Rebound' by Eric Walters, 'Run' by Eric Walters, 'We All Fall Down' by Eric Walters, 'Just Listen' by Sarah Dessen, 'Gravity Journal' by Gail Sidonie Sobat, and 'Because of Winn-Dixie' by Kate Dicamillo.
I think that's all! I hope you love them all as I loved them!
