Hot List 5!

BOOKS!

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. Man, this book made me cry! Enzo, a great, loyal, smart, funny dog, is the storyteller of this book. When the book opens, we learn that Enzo is sick and can't wait for death because he thinks he's going to be reincarnated into what he wants to be most in the world, a man. Garth Stein uses Enzo's canine POV to tell of Denny Swift's (Enzo's owner) life, from the highest highs to the heartbreaking lows. Through everything, Enzo wishes for the day when he can speak, and hug, and just be human, so he can give love back to Denny and everyone else who loved him. I know I'm not really giving this book justice, but I really really liked it!!

Everything Matters! by Ron Currie Jr. What if you knew, from the time you were in the womb, that in 38 years, the world will be destroyed. Would anything you did in your life matter, since the world is ending? That's pretty much what Junior Thibodeau thinks. In this book, we follow Junior, and see how he lives his life while thinking that nothing he does will even matter. However, when given a chance to go back in time and start his life over from scratch, will Junior believe that everything he does really does matter?
