Begining of things

Hi. I love reading and always have done. So I thought maybe I could share with you what I enjoy. I am only 13 at the moment so this is probably more interesting for people around that age but maybe Mums might want ideas for their 13 year olds. Bearing in mind that I like reading books that I feel you can actually read, big books that are less magic and more adventure. The problem is most of the books you get now are all dark and shadowy. Now I like fantasy, but things to do with vampires and other dark creatures just really aren't for me. I like some historical fiction books that are about things to do with going to the "new world" and about Jews escaping the holocaust. I have nothing wrong with magic but I like less dark stories. Of course this is just my opinion what you think is up to you. One more thing I would love suggestions of new books to read, so if you think I might like a book please comment and tell me about it, You can send it to my email or use comments or both, it doesn't really matter.

Indian Captive

I loved this book and COULD NOT put it down. It was really moving and actually MADE ME CRY! I tell you, that does not happen often, when reading books or watching films. Also this is based on a true story. This is probably one of my most strongly suggested books.#
Indian Captive
Captured by the Seneca.
Twelve-year-old Mary Jemison took her peaceful days on her family's farm in eastern Pennsylvania for granted. But on a spring day in 1758, some thing happened that changed her life forever. A band of warriors invaded the house and took the Jemison family captive. Mary was separated from her parents and brothers and sister. She travelled with the Indians to southern Ohio and later to a Seneca village on the Genesee River in what is now western new York. 
Mary's new life was not easy . She missed her family terribly, and she was unaccustomed to the Seneca ways. Several times she even tried to run away. But the Indians were kind to her and taught her many things about the earth, its plants, and its creatures. She became a sister to animals and to all growing things. Then Mary finally gets the chance to return to the world or the white men. But she had also become a sister to the Indians. How could she leave them?
Based on a true story, here is the unforgettable tale of the legendary " white woman of Genesee.
