This book name is House Of The Scorpion. I recommended this book to up coming freshman in high school. It's very interesting and it allows you to think more about certain things and how others think and take thing.

I recommend Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. This is a prequel to her series Mortal Instruments, this series is called Infernal Devices. All the books are amazing :)

This phenomenal book is written by the incredible Earl Sewell. It's the story of a young teenaged girl whose life is seriously about to have major changes. This book is filled with drama, passion, and a great message. If I were you I would definitely grab this book and read this book over the summer!
Here is a brief summary:
Maya's summer is shaping up to be unforgettable—in both good and bad ways. First she's sent to stay with her grandmother for a month. Living in the city, Maya is too far from her friend Keysha and her boyfriend, Misalo—and too near her rebellious cousin Viviana. When Maya finally comes home, her parents drop a bombshell—Viviana is moving in with them.Her cousin has barely unpacked before she's creating chaos. Truth is, Maya kind of likes the way life is a whole lot less predictable with Viviana around. But her motives are up for debate—especially when it comes to Misalo. And as Maya's little sister, Anna, grows more fascinated with her cool older cousin, Maya begins to see that following where Viviana leads has its price. And it could cost Maya her reputation, her relationship
and maybe even her future
.

This is a phenomenal read by philosophical extremist Ayn Rand. It's the story of a young architect whose work reigns supreme in his life. This book is filled with hidden messages; definitely a great read throughout the summer!
