The book Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt was the best realistic fiction book you could ever choose to read! When I read the first few chapters of the book I was already heartfelt. It made me want to continue to read to the end. I truly fell in love with this book. If I were to rate this book from one to ten I would definitely give it a ten. In my opinion this book was a great book to sit down with and enjoy. The reason is because it made me feel I was in the actual story. who finally meets his new foster brother named Joseph. Jack already knows three things about Joseph. Joseph almost killed a teacher. He was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain. Joseph has a daughter named Jupiter. Even though Joseph is a scary and dangerous fourteen year old he tries to find his daughter that he has never even seen. Joseph and Jupiter were separated, and Joseph was only able to see her once. It's pretty sad to think if Jupiter was your daughter and you only saw her once in your life. You wouldn't feel great. I think an audience that loves sad books and a little of suspense would love the book Orbiting Jupiter. The story itself was a roller coaster ride. The story starts out with a young and shy twelve year old, who is the main character, who finally meets his new foster brother named Joseph. Jack already knows three things about Joseph. Joseph almost killed a teacher. He was incarcerated at a place called Stone Mountain. Joseph has a daughter named Jupiter. Even though Joseph is a scary and dangerous fourteen year old he tries to find his daughter that he has never even seen. Joseph and Jupiter were separated, and Joseph was only able to see her once. It's pretty sad to think if Jupiter was your daughter and you only saw her once in your life. You wouldn't feel great. I think an audience that loves sad books and a little of suspense would love the book Orbiting Jupiter.

I have recently read the book Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls. The book is about an eleven year old boy named Sam McQueen and he has leukemia. He states on the first page that he will most likely die by the time the reader is finished with the book. He comes up with a list before that he wants wants to complete before he dies such as sledding, going to a proper school, learn about UFOs, horror movies , airships, and kissing a girl. Unfortunately he does not finish all the things on his list but he still had his hope. I thought this book was a very sad but intriguing book. I couldn't stop reading this book! I really wanted to know what Sam was going to do next, but in the end I had a fear tears when Felix died. Then on top of that the main character Sam died and that is when I said in my mind, nooooooooo! When Sam died on that hospital bed I thought I was actually there with him. He died peacefully in his sleep. It was like a movie in my mind! The author did a good job with the book, I thought this was a true story but surprisingly it wasn't. This book is realistic fiction because it was a story that could have really happened. This book I think is open to ages 10-and above. There was some use of strong language and the book was pretty sad. Most importantly the plot of the book was amazing. Sam also had some internal and external thoughts. He had to battle leukemia and its stages. This is an example of internal conflict because he is battle something with himself. There was also an external conflict when Felix died and Sam was very sad and was going through a lot. This book was a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone out there who wants to read about realistic fiction that is a little sad at the end.
