Double Dutch!

Hey guys, I am reading a book called Double Dutch by Sharon M. Draper, the author who wrote out of my mind. It's about an 8th grader who has been keeping this secret since ? grade, and I think you will be horrified if you hear it. Anyways, something terrible/ good happened that can be connected to what we did today, 3-31-11. And, of course, Delia LOVES double dutch. If you read out of my mind by Sharon M. Draper, also read this! You can also learn alot of important things from this book, and it has to do something with empathy, truth, lies, and fearrrr. -Twilightsky P.S. The characters in this book are going through hard things. So please be aware. Well, that's teenage life.

If you want to read an amazing magical adventure then try reading all the Harry Potter series by J.K.Rowling
The Harry Potter series about a kid named Harry who lost his parents when he was a baby by this evil guy named Tom Riddle a.k.a lord voldemort, and so Harry was sent to hogwarts, a magic school where he learns magic and other stuffs that I can't name of (to much things) and oh yea, you should read from the beginning( first series) trust me I did it once I and didn't even understand it.
I know that people read it already, this recommendation is for people who didn't have read the Harry Potter series.
