Waiting For Normal
Waiting for Normal talks about everyday problems, and is a very interesting book. It's a bit sad at first, but it end's up being a happy ending for some people. There is a lot of mysterious parts that made me think about what was going to happen next. It was also a book that I would recomend to anyone who likes reading book's that are sad but also happy.

The book was inspiring, and uplifting. It expresses the life of a catholic based girl; she is waiting for her first kiss. At the end, she realizes that she is good enough without asking saints to help her. She is also known as a saint in her neighborhood.

antsy does time

The book was funny, and sad at the sametime. Antsy is helping his friend, Gunnar, by giving him a month of his life (literally); it gets out-of-control. Later, Antsy is desperate, and he demands an explanation. Antsy feels stupid, and Gunnar moves.

How Not To Be Popular

This book starts out on a bad note and a funny note because Maggie just moved from her old school, and her real name is Sugar. How Not to be Popular is a very funny book, and it gets you hooked on it quickly because you think about why is she doing this things. This book made me think about why some people are not them self’s just because they want people to like them. It also made me think that people should just be themselves and act like what they would act like if they were with there family.

I really liked the book HOW NOT TO BE POPULAR because it was funny. some of the problems that the protagonist went through were really humiliating, and exciting. Another reason why I liked this book was because each character in the story. Each character had their personality. Once I started reading this book I got hooked, and finished the book! my name is kimberly rivera, i'm in mrs.sheelys 2nd period class.

Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of Nature
In the novel she actually talks about writing in journal. I liked how she was many times modest about her little achievements and always placed herself as a cowardly figure, though she was not entirely cowardly the entire time. Her isolation since her friends began hating her changes her perspective on people in society, I suppose, yet she says she would sympathize with their situations if she were in their place.
p.s i couldnt go on the computer for a while so i wrote 2 review today:)
