I read this book because I was intrigued by the theme and concept of this story just by reading the back. This book was about a girl named Deenie, her family wanted her to become a model, but shes never been over the top excited about being one. In this story Deenie develops scoliosis, this book is mostly about Deenie and her family coping and adjusting to such a big change. I thought this book was well written and I like the fact that it is about something unique, not about the common things such as friendship and puppy dogs.

This book was about a girl named Winnie, short for Winifred, who's best friend moved away. They had lived on the same street, but her friend, Iggie, moved to Tokyo. The people who moved into Iggie's old house were Black/African-American, not many people around where they lived were black. One of their nearby neighbors, Mrs. Landon, doesn't like the Gerbers and wants them to leave all because of their skin color. Winnie doesn't want them to move, they're her friends. Mrs. Landon is having people sign petitions and everything, Winnie thinks that that is crazy, why would she want them to leave? Mrs. Landon said that people should move away because sooner or later people like the Gerbers would be everywhere, she meant people with people of color like the Gerbers. In the end Mrs. Landon and her family ended up moving away and everything turned out fine.

I thought this book was really good and liked the theme. This book was about a girl named Margaret, she was not born into a religion, but sometimes, she wishes she was. This book is about Margaret finding out who she is and following the trail of identity, along the way she makes a few new friends: Nancy, Gretchen, and Janie, they become good friends quickly and sware they'll tell each other everything. I liked this book very much, I enjoyed the concept and theme of the story, I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 10 who wants a light read.
