Kids Books - Adult

I thought that this would be a funny book when I saw the cover that talked about beauty queens stranded in a plane crash on a desert island. It was not as superficial as I thought though, there were lots of informative and empowering parts about feminism and stuff. I would recommend this to any of my friends who are juniors or seniors in high school.

I read this book because my friend gave it to me. I also read the real novel and I am currentley reading the seris. I really like the action and suspense in this story

I really enjoyed this one! It wasn't exactly what I was anticipating but it was still good in it's own right. I would definitely classify it more as a Middle Grade novel than an Young Adult one, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my reading of it. I was put off a bit by some of the phrasing of things and the fact that this was basically one long letter but I wasn't sure who it was addressed to or if I was supposed to be someone in Melia's life. I thought that there was a good mix of believable good things that came out of this and some things that were almost too good to be true. And while it works in some novels, I found that this one could have used with more of the down and out sort of feeling rather than the happily ever afters. There were definitely some things that went wrong, but it felt like it went up and up and the real issues that could have set them back didn't really do so. And I feel like that made me feel a bit cheated for the story. I did really like all the characters though. I thought Melia was really strong and tough and while she sounded older than 14, I could believe it through context and timing. I feel as though with historical fiction, you can get away with how your MC sounds and acts because of context and this was definitely one of those instances. I think she was really brave and did anything and everything she could to survive and keep her family together. I liked that she was really innovative but also still a child and allowed to be a child in this story. I think the family was really well constructed. I liked that everyone had their role but they were also really dependent on one another. I think there was a lot of pressure for Melia to be the leader but she defected when she had to because it was the right thing to do. I really liked this one. I thought it felt like the time period, had a really strong main character, and enough hope to mix with the sad parts that I found myself smiling as much as I did crying. Overall a well rounded novel with a great message that no matter what life throws at you, you are stronger than it.

OMG I HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!! IT IS BY MY FAVE AUTHOUR AND IT SOUNDS SO INTRESTING!!!!

I love it!! I'm reading the fourth book right now and its so fantastic!

Is this related to the 5th wave?

Quahog: A football team and a type of clam. In my book Pants on Fire,And it’s written by Meg Cabot. Katie Ellison works at the Gull’n Gulp and hates quahogs. Both kinds. She had a friend Tommy Sullivan in eighth grade and was part of the newspaper and was reporting about the Quahog football team. As he walks into the boy’s locker room, they were talking about how they cheated on their SAT’S and told little Tommy, they didn’t suspect that an eighth grader would go and tell the paper that they cheated. When the paper came out, the football team had to forfeit the state championships, and ever since then they have been blaming Tommy Sullivan for lying to the press and putting that out into the world. Now that you know a little about the book, I think the protagonist is Katie Ellison because she is trying to convince everyone that Tommy really isn’t a bad person, but no one was listening and she finally got to go on the date she wanted to by telling him the truth of what she wrote on the wall of the gymnasium at the middle school. And now she has to earn back the money by working extra hard at the Gull’n Gulp restaurant where she works, to pay for sandblasting the wall to get the paint off. I think the antagonist is, the people that live in the town because everybody thinks that Tommy Sullivan raddedout the football team by telling the paper that they cheated on their SAT’S and then saying that they didn’t cheat. So now everybody thinks that Tommy Sullivan is a bad person, but he’s actually not, he was telling the truth the whole time. The first conflict the character was facing were, Katie Ellison has a boyfriend, Seth Turner but likes Tommy Sullivan that just moved back, and Tommy Sullivan is hated by the whole town, so now she thinks that if she starts dating him then the town will hate her too. And then things start to get worse, when she announces on the pageant stage that she wrote Tommy Sullivan is Freak on the wall and thought her life would be over when Tommy found out. But he wasn’t mad, because he saw what actually happened. And finally, I would say that the time period is modern times.I would also recommend this book to a type of person, that likes to read a book that has a lot of drama and isn’t queasy listening to details about kissing, I’m not a type of person that’s grossed out about that type of thing and I love listening, watching and especially reading about drama, because I feel like I’m part of it and honestly, I loved this book.
