    While reading Laurie Ann Thompson’s Be a Changemaker, Laura Schroff’s an Invisible Thread, and Zak Ebrahim’s the Terrorist’s Son, the novels saddened me in multiple ways, either by being written in a demoralizing tone or by providing a distressing story. Moreover, the structural choices of Thompson discouraged me; whereas, the chronological styles of the other two authors were appealing because they made the plot easy to follow. Initially, Thompson’s book encouraged me to lust change in the world; however, after several, brief chapters referencing the need to have an adult mentor, she aimed her inspiration towards adolescents which made it challenging for me to recognize. Furthermore, her piece on ice breakers ended any hope that this book…
