I would recommend this book to people who like books about real people. I have not found a book I liked this much this for a long time. I like this book because it was so easy and quick to read and the characters were believable. The characters went through 2nd -8th grade so it is everything a reader my age could relate to. I could keep up with the characters and liked when they told their side of an event and how it happened on every other chapter. I also think others would like this book because it’s from the point of view of kids, and it makes it easier to understand and easy to relate to. The book starts out when Juli and Brice first meet when they were young children and it explains their relationship along the way as they grow up. It is a book teenagers should read it really makes you think about other people’s point of view. When events happen to you, you maybe only can see your side of the story. This book will help you think of what the other person might be thinking, especially if things do not go your way. I like that Juli was always ready for an adventure and felt strong about her causes. She was not afraid of what people would think of her. Juli believed in three things, saving her favorite tree, her precious eggs, and that someday she will kiss Bryce.
Brice was not too thrilled with Juli until about 8th grade and that is when she did not really like him anymore. I like this book because I felt it could keep going and have book two. Then we could find out what happens to them in the future. I really did like these characters and everything they did seemed so real. I am sure that in real life many people have probably liked someone and as soon as that person likes them they do not feel the same way. I found out this is also a movie. I hope to watch it someday. I like Juli because she liked trees, yard work and animals but she was a bit too boy crazy and could be annoying at times. I think she was a kind hearted girl who always tried to do the right thing.
PT 2 – You’ve made some good recommendations here. Again I think a outline/prewriting would help you keep focus.
