She has just finished college and discovered a whole new world by winning a one-month paid internship at a magazine in New York City.

A diary told from a young girl’s perspective on the second World War. The Franks family had to hide themselves away in order to not to be captured during the German occupation of Holland. This is unlike other historical readings, because Anne Frank was only a normal teen-girl who had a lot of thoughts in her mind like how annoying her parents were, her friends and some boy issues. You’ll also get a bit of understandings about the Nazis and the Jews during that era through this diary.
4. The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

An unusual graphic novel about how the author, as a smart young girl, went through her childhood and adolescence during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Girls and guys were separated in schools, girls were told to start wearing veils, and so on. It was a world full of politics for such young age. All her struggles and efforts are somehow implied throughout the whole book. If the novel wasn’t in graphic, it wouldn’t be as interesting and comprehensive.
5. The Age of Grief by Jane Smiley

A book which is consisted of sharply written short stories about betrayed partners in marriage implies how important all small and unimportant details in daily life are, because they are actually the ones that make up a marriage; morning routine, dinner preparation, groceries shopping, and so on. And apparently, their kids might have listened and understood what has been going on with the parents. It is that feeling you get when you have to discover the bad truth.
