Anyone enjoy reading???

I am doing a school project and does anyone know of any books about like a kid going into a foster care or getting a new stepmom?? The project is about living with someone new.


(I like dramatic and suspensful books)


Besides White oleander cause i already read it

Anyone enjoy reading???
Read Chinese Cinderella. It's about a Chinese girl who is the only girl in a family during the 1940s in China. Her mom died when giving birth to her, so she was always blamed for that by her dad, and even her brothers. Her dad then marries a very young woman, who is horrible to her. It is really sad, and a great book.
Reply:Cinderella.
Reply:The Killing Game by Iris Johansen is a fantastic book, and kind of involves what you're looking for, although you don't get that impression from the synopsis.





It's very suspenseful throughout the book, and quite a thriller. Along the lines of a kid going into foster care, there's an extremely tough and street smart girl, 10 years old, who is in foster care and has been shuffled around from house to house. Through the course of the book (I won't give spoiler details), it comes to be that the main character of the book, Eve Duncan, needs to rescue her and her young friend, and Jane doesn't get a long with anyone. They have some rough times getting along with each other, and need to adjust to some things. This book is full of suspense, murder, mystery, thrill - you name it, it's got it.


Really fantastic, I think that you'll enjoy it.
Reply:The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I'm not done with it yet, but it's great so far and fits your criteria----





Good luck on your project!
