2: Audrey S. review
I really liked this book a lot. I liked it because it was sad but funny at the same time and when you read the book it felt like everything was happening to you.
Zana and Lena are best friends but Zana is an Alban and Lena is a Serb. The Albans and the Serbs are at war with each other and now they can't be friends any more. One day Zana and her family were trying to escape but a bomb fell right in front of their truck and killed her father and brothers. She had to go to the hospital and get surgery done on her foot because when the bomb exploded, glass went into her foot and infected it. After the a few days in the hospital, after the surgery, she went back home and found out that the war had gotten worse. Some people died when she was away, but not many. Her foot was not getting better so she had to go back to the hospital where they gave her medicine Once the medicine ran out she had to go back home. The war was over but everyone lost their home except the three Serb families. Lena's house being one that was still standing. Everyone wanted to kill Lena's family but Zana stopped them. Now they are friends again but Lena and her family have to move to make sure that nothing happens to them.
I would recommend this book to a girl around the age of 12 or 13. Boys would not like this book because it is about a girl named Zana.

3: say LOVE not WAR!
A good book with inspiring story, teaching us how to deal with hate, love, uncontrolled situation and authority. Hopefully, people who read this book can surely take a very decent understanding on how diversity should be taken as wise as they can. And there's no room for prejudice, definitely!

I loved this book. Alice Mead writes passionately as Zana. And if you like this book, you'll love Zlata's Diary!
