I read up to volume 7. It's about a girl who transfered into a high school to play volleyball, however her mother doesn't allow it. Later on Nobara promised her mother that if she lets her play volleyball in high school she would do whatever her mother says after high school. Her adventure then begins as she becomes the homekeeper for the male volleyball team and start getting female members for the female team. Her journey is long and hard, plus she's a great player, is her team dragging her down. Find out more!
This is my favorite series, it's filled with love, sports and identity. Even though this is a manga, it's worth the read. ...less

This book is about this black guy named John who is an educated black male during the 19 century. In the middle of the night, he meets a little girl who wished to read and write. Since then each day he comes and teaches. However one day the little girl's owner found out and punished John severely, but that didn't stop John from teaching.
I like this book(Read it with my brother, his reading book), it shows how education is really a treasure and for those who are able to receive one, should cherished it, because there are people(third world countries) who are still not able to receive one.

ahh after reading this book, i have to double think when i order an big mac or get a bucket of KFC chicken. The book is full of facts such as the unsanitary ways of cleaning meat. As well as the proper and least painful way of killing an animal. One method is putting an animal is hot boiling water-this is torture. Animal cruelty has become a big issue, although we are eating them, the most we can do is to let them go with the least pain possible.
I like reading this book because it's filled with interesting facts and help me think more about the animals on our dinner table....less

This novel is about a kid whose parents are killed by demons. The demons killed them in exchange for the life of his sister*(to prevent her from turning into a demon). The whole family is cursed! The scene where the parents are killed is horrified but apparently is the most interesting part of this story. If you like horror and a spice of magic, give this a try. ...less
