Year of secret assignments

Year of secret assignments When it comes to picking novels, most of us would go for touching tear-jerkers. Some would hunt for thrillers, or, most commonly, action and romance. But there are some who would like to read nothing better than a stomach-tickling, laugh-out-loud story.

Let me say that there is a perfect book out there that will promise tonnes of giggles and laughter. Especially for teens who are bored and would like something new in their bookshelf other than Twilight or Harry Potter.

The Year of Secret Assignments is a simply smashing book written by none other than Jaclyn Moriarty, an Australian authoress. This book of hers has been one bestseller in the continent of Australia and is famous for its originality and uniqueness. Unique how, you may ask. Well, the story is based on three friends of a girls-only high school.

They had been friends since they were quite young and now growing and mature, they still stuck together. Every thing takes on a massive twist when their English grammar teacher introduces a letter exchange program with their rival school, a boys-only high school. At first they all seemed a little skeptic.

But as they continue exchanging letters, they come to realize that they don't have much of a difference and it all comes down to new friendships, trust and a whole recipe for disaster and fun where they learn how to depend on one another. And the entire plot is based on paper conversations, exchanged letters, emails, diary entries, to-do lists and many more including surprising twists to the tale. All in all it's an awesome story that you would not want to decline. - Shenali Boteju
