There’s no mystery about her love of books
Erika Sepulveda attends IMPACT Early College High School.
Here’s something you don’t see every day: A 15-year-old hanging out on a summer morning reading “1984” by George Orwell.
“It’s for a class. I’ve never read it. But I love books. I read just for fun in my spare time.”
What’s your favorite book?
“I don’ t think I have a favorite. But there’s this one I really liked. I can’t remember the title. It’s where this police guy is chasing this criminal. And the criminal is a mastermind, like, wow. But the police guy captures the criminal, and he ends up killing the criminal’s wife who was pregnant. The criminal gets back at him by grabbing the officer’s daughter. Then there’s this quest to try to find the daughter. At the end, they find her six feet underground with only a few small oxygen tanks to keep her breathing. It was crazy. I thought it was going to be romantic, but it wasn’t. It was an amazing book.”
Why do you like those kinds of books?
“I like when there’s a mystery, but with a twisted plot. You think it’s going in one direction, but it turns out to be something completely different. I just find that kind of story so interesting.”
