Blood on my hands
Blood on my hand's by Todd Strasser is a really great book that seems like a movie and you can really get hooked into the book like a movie. Blood on my hands talks about a girl named Callie who is begin framed for a murder of her friend Kathrine because their is a photo of her holding a knife over the body so threw out the book she look's for help with friend's and her ex boyfriend to prove she didn't do it.
To start off with one thing Cali tries to do to prove her innocents is.So Cali heard that the reason Katherine and Dakota wasn't talking for a month and Dakota not sitting with them was more than just bickering so she went to a kid who she heard was in the middle of the hole thing. When she got to him he was shocked to see a fugitive in his presents but he told her that Dakota was really into him and he was going to go with her but then Katherine said some lies to griffin about Dakota and Dakota was so mad she send death threats to both griffin and Katherine. So Callie believes that's motive for Dakota to kill Katherine.
As my final point, when Callie found Katherine's body their was a knife so she picked it up (I don't know why she did) and once she did Dakota and her friends showed up and then took a pic but Dakota was the first one to say she killed her. Later on in the book when she was trying to get evidence she remembered that the same knife that was at the crime scene Dakota has a same set of knife in her kitchen, so now Callie is positive that it was her. I think that this hole thing is begin planed by her friend Mia because all evidence clearly points to Dakota and mulitipil times in the book they say Dakotas smart so she wouldn't be that obvious with the evidence but I could be wrong?
Overall this book can tell you that teenagers can be devious and mulniplutive and if you have family and friends in high power you can probably get away with murder. That's what Dakota May be using to get away with murder. Finally this book is the best thriller book I've ever read so I hope that you will be able to get your hands on this book.

Persepolis
Persepolis is one of those books that you can really read over and over again because it's so interesting and entertaining. Persepolis talks about a girl named marji living in a tough country were a war is happening and she wants to be involved in every thing that's happening there but she is only a kid at, first. Marji is a teenager but her parents believe she is old enough to do some stuff and other things they believe she is not ready to do the things grown ups do, that's something most teenagers can relate to.
Furthermore in one part of the book on page one hundred and seventeen she does something bold just to make a statement, like most teenagers would do. She goes into her basement and take the cigarette that she had stolen from her uncle before and smokes it and while smoking it she says ''with this cigarette I kiss my childhood goodbye". I believe she did that because on the way to the basement she talks about how she believed her mother was acting like a dictator to her because she was telling her what to do all the time and she felt smoking the cigarette was the way to prove that she was old enough to make her own decision's. I think that when teenagers parents tell them what to do they believe that they don't know what's best for them so they do some sort of rebellion against them and I think that's what marji was trying to accomplish by smoking that cigarette.
As a final point, one time her parents were going out to protest for the war that is happening in their country and they left marji with a babysitter. So when the parents left they were shocked that marji didn't ask to go with them because she's always asking and their always saying no but the reason marji didn't ask to go with them is because she had a plan to go anyway. So once they were out the door she said to her babysitter "are you ready" and the babysitter said for what and marji said to go to the demonstration but the babysitter didn't know marji was planning for that until that moment but marji convinced the babysitter to go with her anyway. When teenagers or just anyone want to do something but they can't do it with the person that told them they can't they would usually find someone weak and willing to do anything with them to tag along with them. That's what marji was doing their with the babysitter and her parent's.
Overall this book show's us how if your a teenager but you want to do adult thing's you will probably find a way to do that thing your trying to do but will have to disobey your parent's order to not do that thing. That's what marji did for a part during the story. To add on this book can be a real connection to teenagers because it show's many thing's teenagers do that's one of the reason's I really liked this book. So with all that said about Persepolis I encourage you to go and read this book about the life of marji Satrapi.
