FACELESS
by Alyssa B．Sheinmel
This is an amazing book about a girl named Maisie, who gets in an accident, and ends up
having a face transplant. Part of Maisie’s face got burnt off in a fire, so now she has her
cheeks and nose replaced by a different girl’s cheeks and nose. However, if you think about it,
the idea seems quite scary. All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and it had me hanging on its
every word.
WE ARE ALL MADE OF MOLECULES
by Susin Nielsen
The story focuses on two main characters, Stewart and Ashley. Despite missing his
mother, Stewart decides to make a new life with Ashley when he and his dad move into her
house. Ashley doesn’t like Stewart for his personality, but things turn even more complicated
when a schoolmate, Jared, enters their lives. I LOVE this book because it teaches us that if we
all put aside all of our differences, we can work together to solve problems in the world, no
matter how big or small the problem might be.
HOUSE OF WINDOWS

This book is about a 15-year-old boy named Nick who is at Cambridge University.

On January 22, 2022, the British-Belgian 19-year-old, Zara Rutherford, successfully
landed her two-seat microlight aircraft back at the Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport, from where
she had departed 155 days ago, fulfilling her dream to be the youngest woman to fly around
the world solo.
“I feel excited not only to break the Guinness World Record, but also to diminish the 3 / 20 gender gap by 11 years between the current youngest male record holder Travis Ludlow 18 at
the time of his record, and the previous female record holder Shaesta Waez, who was 30 when
she completed her ‘Dreams Soar’ around-the-world flight.” Rutherford wrote on her blog.
Rutherford's journey crossing five continents and 52 countries began on August 18, 2021.
She encountered numerous unexpected delays along the way. They included an unscheduled
stop in Redding, California, due to wildfires and a month-long stop in Nome, Alaska, to
renew her Russian visa. She also faced several challenges in the air. When flying from
Iceland to Greenland, Rutherford lost radio contact with her ground team for much of the
3-hour flight. The incidents also resulted in her having to cross over Russia in sub-zero
temperatures. The hardest part was flying over Siberia—it was extremely cold and if the
engine broke down, she'd be hours away from rescue. Despite the severe difficulties, the
determined young pilot never gave up on her dream.
Rutherford grew up around airplanes. Her British father flies commercially, while her
Belgian mother is a recreational pilot. The young girl began learning how to fly at age 14 and
obtained her aviators license in 2020. With her goal of flying around the world accomplished,
