My mother was overly excited for the both of us because it was also her first time on a plane.
After takeoff, my mother spotted San Diego, which was the wrong direction. We were going to visit my grandparents in Michigan. It felt like the plane was dropping all of a sudden.

A lot of 책 have no females in them, 또는 only have weak female characters, like damsels in distress which are just there to be saved 의해 males.

1. Harry Potter 의해 J.K. Rowling

Like, duh.

In my opinion, it's both the best YA series ever and the best 판타지 series ever. Why? Harry Potter is the best of everything - the best characters, the best plots, the best writing.

The characters are people 당신 can fall in 사랑 with, and not just the main 히어로즈 and the main villains. Even 더 많이 minor characters are pretty extensively developed, like Snape, Pettigrew, Neville, even Dean 또는 Seamus.

It's what takes an old couple who've got nothing left but each other and splits them up to go...
