In my opinion, the Dollaganger Series was the most compelling. Below are summeries of each five books. See if maybe they strike your fancy as well. Flowers in the Attic The first book in the series. This is where the story that will continue for the next 60 years all begins. It is about a mother who is struck with the sudden loss of her husband, and has to return to the house of her childhood after many years. The reader learns that many secrets await in the house, and the lives of four children will be changed forever. This story is the example of how innocent we all are in our youth, and how we grow up nder dire circumstances. Petals on the Wind This was my favorite book. It's about making it in the real world and learning about who you are. It's about people who help us grow and people who hold us back. Most importantly, it's about not giving up and finding happiness wherever you go. |
