1.[no image]Go Ask Alice
from Avon Books

Customer Review:
I am seventeen year old high school student. I have read many books and this by far is one of the best I have ever read. I finished it in two days, I only stopped to sleep and go to school, where one of my friends picked it up to look at it, and demanded I finish it as soon as possible so he could... more info

2.Alex Haley and Malcolm X s the Autobiography of Malcolm X (Bloom s Notes)Alex Haley & Malcolm X's the Autobiography of Malcolm X (Bloom's Notes)
from Chelsea House Publications

Customer Review:
This is a truly outstanding book. You don't have to like or agree with Malcolm X to learn from it. Martin Luther King Jr. was undoubtedly the more effective civil rights leader, and King's thought in many ways is more profound. But without Malcolm X, the true depth and meaning of the black American... more info

4.I Have Lived a Thousand Years: Growing Up in the HolocaustI Have Lived a Thousand Years: Growing Up in the Holocaust
from Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing

Customer Review:
This was my 8th grade son's summer reading. He could not stop reading it and it caused him to initiate a lot of conversation with us about the holocaust. Since it was from the perspective of a girl his own age, he really identified with it.

5.Boy: Tales of ChildhoodBoy: Tales of Childhood
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
I adore reading and devour about 3-4 books a month, and I can safely say this is my favorite book of all time. I first read Boy when I was around 8. Now, nearly twenty years later, I still have that same copy. The cover is hanging on by a thread and the binding is in sad shape, but it sums up how I... more info

As an Asian American whose father remarried I can relate to the Author. A wicked step-mother and two wicked step-sisters and a father who hated me because my mother left him. I am an unwanted child.

8.Story of My LifeStory of My Life
from Scholastic

Customer Review:
I'm astonished by the one star comments! These people should at least read a story about the way human language emerged and evolved to writing and reading. Maybe "How Writing Came About" by Denise Schmandt-Besserat and perhaps they would start understanding the unimaginable effort done by Helen and... more info

This certainly isn't as good as some other Laura Ingalls Wilder biographies, but it's not bad. I think this is focued more toward young teens than adults.
