If you are a parent of children between 9 and 15 years and you want to make that your child gets involved in reading but don't know which book would be good for him/her to read I totally recommend Wonder. Besides that it is a children's book with easy language, the story captivates you in a second for it has lots of humor; it delivers an amazing message. I think that sometimes we want to keep the children in a bubble where everything is nice and beautiful and "ordinary" but the world is not always like that and it is important that they learn how to deal with this and how to become a good and kind person. As you might already know August Pullman is a 10 year old boy who was born with a genetic alteration that caused that he had a different outside look.

The Nightingale | El Ruiseñor por Kristin Hannah

English and Spanish review.  When the world around you changes you can't keep on being the same person. That's what happened to Isabelle and Vianne Muriac in 1939. This historic novel, is not like most we've read about World War II; it shows up other victims, heroes and how they managed to survive.  A girl power story with a true feminist as a protagonist. You won't even feel time passing by while reading.  "In love we find out who we wabt to be. In war we fond out who we are."  . .  Cuando el mundo a tu alrededor cambia, uno no puede seguir siendo la misma persona. Eso le pasó a Isabelle y Vianne Muriac en Fracia en 1939.  Esta novela histórica no es como la mayoría de las que hemos leído sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial; muestra otras víctimas, héroes y como le hicieron para sobrevivir. Una historia de empoderamiento femenino con una protagonista feminista. Ni siquiera sentirás que el tiempo pasa conforme lees.
