Heroism Book Recommendation

I am tasked with recommending a good book and a strong female character who is heroic and a large part of the book.

My Sister's Keeper is a great book about love, loss and fighting for what you believe in.

Not only are there incredible twists and turns within the book, but I found that I loved how the Point Of Views changed within each chapter. Anna would be narrating one chapter, and her father would narrating the next.

The reason why I think that this book would be a great choice, is because there is not only one, but three strong, female characters to choose from. Anna, Kate and their Mother.

I would personally choose their Mother, Sara. She is conflicted between choosing her youngest daughter's freedom, her son's expression or her eldest daughter's life. A tough decision which makes me think 'How could anyone ever do this' and it helps establish a relationship with the audience immediately.

My Sister's Keeper is a great choice for an Oral because the complexity and expression of the book is great to read and to talk about. Love and loss are two emotions that people, especially teenage girls, can relate to and comprehend the book further into discussion, even after the oral.

I did an oral presentation in Grade 8 on the book, and I think that it went off really well with the audience, leaving them feeling emotional.
