I am in the middle of perfect by Natasha Friend I thought that overall it is a pretty good book even though it does have a few dry parts where only Isabelle is talking.
When she goes to group for the first day she immediately starts to judge people in the room. Like she sees a girl who’s not the skinniest person around and she starts to judge her then she sees a bone skinny girl and says she could literally count all of her ribs and she thinks to herself most people would think that was disgusting but she thought that that was completely normal.
But anyway when she starts going to group she sees to her surprise that a girl from her school is in group with her, that really surprised her because this girl Ashley Barnum is all around perfect in every single way. In her mind she thinks about the way everything is perfect for Ashley because she’s wealthy, popular, pretty and she’s skinny. So after group is ended she and Ashley decided to stand together and talk, when Ashley’s ride gets their she quickly turns as and says to Belle that she doesn’t have a problem or and seating disorder that her mom thought she found some extreme lax. in her daughter’s stuff so she sent her to go to group to get her problems worked out. Ashley then said she sees her at school, and she left.

I started a new book called Perfect , it is written by Natasha Friend. I really like this book from the first page because it was just something I would with a great plot.
In the beginning the main character Isabelle is talking about how her and her sister used to get along great, but then she changes and says that her sister became an annoying kid who tells on her sister all the time. After that part of the book Isabelle is making herself have throw up in the bathroom. But then her sister catches her and threatens to tell their mother. So then Belle tells her sister who she calls ape face to n to tell their mother that she was throwing up because she has the flu and that she didn’t want her mother to be worried.
But her sister knew that she was lying so she made Belle took her little sister sat her on her bed and began to try to persuade her with clothing items of her that she knew her sister would love Finally she seems to get her little to bend toward when she offers her a pair of her red suede shoes that she saved up for the 3 months to buy. So her sister tries them on she does some dance steps in them but she says there too scuffed up and she wouldn’t accept them. But then her sister says that she won’t tell if she can have her sister’s mountain bike. So of course Belle says no ,so Ape face says out loud that Belle was making herself throw up.

The Land
I have started a book in my language arts class, it is called The Land written by Mildred D.Taylor. This is a well-written book about the days and years after slavery for a boy named Paul Edward Logan.
The book is a about a mixed boy who’s father used to be a slave owner. While he was a slave owner he had two children with one of his slaves named Deborah (their names are Cassie and Paul Edward) and he took good care of Cassie and Paul Edward he saw to it that they learned how to read, write, and do math. But this was not the usual action of a slave owner with mixed children, so he didn’t treat them as he did his white children from is white wife. He had to make sure that he didn’t let he Cassie And Paul sit at his chair when they were to be company coming over.
But when this happened Paul (who is the main character in the story) didn’t mine being sent away from the table because his white brother named Robert would always go with him since they were the same age they grew up to be very close to one another.
In the beginning of the story Paul is having trouble with one of his fathers black workers because they didn’t like that he was mixed but he still got treated like a white person. So they took it upon themselves so beat up Paul whenever they got the chance. But one day after Paul’s brother gave him the advise to go and solve his solution by himself he met with Mitchell who was one of the worst people who disliked him he said that if Mitchell would teach him how to fight that he would teach Mitchell how to read and write and do all of those things. So Mitchell agreed and they began to learn from each other, Mitchell and Paul began to grow closer as sort of brothers.
I like this book alot because it is not what you would think it is about since it is an story from back in those days.
