Ying Chang Compestine's Revolution is Not a Dinner Party: A Novel: A Quick Review!


Revolution is Not a Dinner Party is about Ling's life during the Cultural Revolution. It is about how her life changed and how she changed as a person. I like this book because it was a good story and explained a lot about the history of China. I liked this book also because it's history and it's one of my favorite subjects. You should read this book because it explains a lot about one side of the Cultural Revolution and it has a sense of fiction although it all really happened.

Sylvia Olsen's The Girl with a Baby: A Short Review by Deji!


This book is about a girl named Jane who gets pregnant and does not tell anyone but her boyfriend until the day of the birth. I like this book because it gets to the point and doesn't waste your time. You should read this book because it tells a story that maybe someone you know has lived.
