Tale of Tragedy and Loss

This is a spellbinding story of a young man recalling his past, and the person who changed his life. This was absolutely heartbreaking, and I really enjoyed. Being translated straight from french, the writing style is a little odd, but before you know it, you're into the story. This is really good book report material. I read this book when I was twelve but I'd recommend it for anyone over thirteen.

Must-Read

This book was the absolute best book I've ever read. It is a story of a boy who travels to Paris but retells his childhood. I found it hard to understand at first, but as I read on, I understood every word of it. I think this is a great book for all students who are my age, 12. It is an excellent read. A mixture of tragedy and romance and will touch your heart.
