19 Minutes by Jodi Piccoult - Easy #24
This book, 19 Minutes by Jodi Piccoult, reminds me a lot of the book After by Francine Prose. They are both about a school shooting for one. But they also both talk about some of the before and after affects of the shooting. In the book After, the school turns into a prison to them. They get fences, guards, the whole works. In 19 Minutes, one of the main characters, the shooter, Peter, actually is in prison and the other students feel like they are trapped, because everything reminds them of that terrible day. Plus, one minor connection being that they both got metal detectors after the school shootings. These are just a few similarites in the 2 books that remind me of each other.

A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer - Easy #24
The book A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer, reminded me several times of Forged by Fire by Sharon Draper. The most obvious connection being abuse. David was physically and emotionally abused by his mother and Gerald was physically abused and grew up to see his sister sexually abused. David and Gerald were also buned. David's mom held his arm on the oven burner and tried to get him to lay on it while Gerald was neglected by his mother and she left him in the house while it was on fire. Both also finally got the help of some kind adults to get the abuse to stop.
