This book is about a girl who doesn’t quite fit in and is rather odd. She changes herself to fit in with the status quo, but realizes that she does a disservice to herself in doing so and realizes that she likes herself the way she is. When I was transitioning from elementary to middle school it was such a crucial time for me, and I think a lot of kids might feel that way. This book showed me that my quirks make me the best version of myself. ]]> 2020-05-04 18:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/medinasantaj39/6l38bm46bmf4d2zj/wish/550260059 The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris kerencerecedo https://padlet.com/medinasantaj39/6l38bm46bmf4d2zj/wish/550282842 This book is a great read because it shows the importance of books and the stories they tell.
