Have you

ever met a person who just lights the room up when they walk in? Or they seem to never to be sad or angry? In not, here is a book about one special person and how she changes a small town’s outlook on life. Told from the point-of-view of one of the high school students, this petit drama is focused on the idea of acceptance by others in high school and the individuality that everyone has inside themselves. This book illustrates this idea through painfully real episodes and great descriptions that places the redder right into the hallways of Mica Area High School with the characters. I recommend this book to all readers looking for a thought-provoking read.
