A Few Words…
It
is, indeed, always a mental struggling when we have to pick
books
for teenagers .It must ,definitely be appealing, motivational
at
the same time humorous and practical. By practical I meant,
easy
to read and to interpret.
By
appealing, I mean a story that really portraits their own age and what they are
going through during the teen years – behaviours
and
attitudes
- a sort of self – reflection.
For
Second Language Learners, it must be
all
of the above yet an excellent learning approach. Therefore, the book I recommend for this month is “The
Diary of a Wimpy kid” by Jeff Kinney.
It
is a fiction novel written in format of a journal (by the way, journals are
more appropriate for boys while diaries are for girls) and illustrated given
the book a “cartoon” feeling. The pictures only add to the humor and the
journal format makes for an easy read.
The
witty main character makes the book hilarious and ageless. Since its first
release in 2007, the success of “THE DIARY OF A WIMPY KID” became a franchise
with nine sequels and a movie adaptation in 2010.
The
book is about a boy named GREG HEFFLEY and his struggles in middle school. His
character is very wimpy, sometimes with bad temper, but very funny;)
I’m
sure you’ll enjoy Greg’s “diary” and laugh a lot!
Happy
reading!
