What's is like to move from middle school to high school. The author tells the story in a character who feels that she has no friends, doesn't fit, has the wrong clothes, hates her classes and most of her teachers. Gosh! I remember those days. It was soo traumatic but this young woman has a reason for her depression that is not revealed until the end.
Sometimes I don't really understand a book until I read the author's notes. I try to read them both before and after I read the novel. Anderson addresses a topic that should be discussed with teenagers somehow but it is difficult and embarrassing for them to look at it in rational terms. Too much emotion is involved. Furthermore, the pressure to be popular, to have friends and to fit in are difficult ones for this age. Good job!
