I cried really hard when I read "Night" by Eli Wiesel!. It is about the author's experience in Auschwitz, one of the most infamous concentration camps during the Holocaust!. The book is really graphic and sad!.
also, "A Child Called It" by David Peltzer made me cry a lot!. It is about a young boy who experiences the worst kind of child abuse imaginable; he is tortured, starved, and neglected by his alcoholic mother!. He is singled out by his siblings (he was the only one abused)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By Rebecca Herman

Thirteen-year-old Margaret, the fictional passenger that is the "writer" of the "diary" that makes up this book, shouldn't have even been on the Titanic!. By a twist of fate that she interprets as good fortune, the orphan, who has been living at an orphanage since her mother died and her brother decided he couldn't care for her properly, gets a job with a wealthy American woman, Mrs!. Carstairs!. The job is fairly simple: Margaret just has to keep Mrs!. Carstairs company during her return voyage to New York, and it comes with a ticket to America!. Margaret takes the job eagerly: her brother now is living and working in America, able to support her, and has been saving up for a ticket for her for awhile!. Now she can join him immediatley!. But Mrs!. Carstairs is returning to America on the Titanic!. And we all know that voyage is doomed to end of tragedy!. So Margaret unknowingly heads off into a disaster!. We see through her eyes how the luxuries of first class would appear to a child who lived in poverty all of her life!. And of course, the disaster plays a large role in the story as well!. I highly reccomend this to fans of the Dear America series, historical fiction, and of course, the Titanic! Www@QuestionHome@Com

This may sound dumb but I cry every time I read Enders Game by Orson Scott Card!. Mr!. card makes you really love the people he is writing about, he is an awesome author!. If you want a girly book read Moloka'i or Snowflower and the Secret Fan!. If you want a true story read First They Killed My Father, it's so sad and it will really make you cry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
