Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.

Takes place after the Deathly Hallows and the Blood of Olympus Percy Jackson thought he could finally live a normal life. He was going to fail high school, be the captain of the swim team, spend a whole, normal year with Annabeth. Yup, not gonna happen. Harry Potter has to redo his seventh year at Hogwarts. At least he gets to be with his best friends. Then some new kid shows up and he can't help but be a little jealous. He was the grandson of Voldemort and the girls were just falling at his feet. Even Ginny and Hermione were swayed by this boy. He was a death eater, and Harry could prove it. Luckily for him, the Triwizard Tournament was right around the corner. If the death eater was chosen, it'd be fun to watch him fail. Warning : Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny did not happen yet. Second Warning : Sirius, Snape, and Dumbledore are still alive. Just a disclaimer for the whole book : All rights go to Rick Riordan and J. K. Rowling Cover courtesy of @thatgirlariadne
