“As class klutz and all-around misfit, Olivia Jones thought that starting middle school would be tough enough. What’s worse, her BFF and next-door neighbour, Alex, is moving to Paris. Then Olivia discovers an old friendship bracelet in her mother’s drawer and realises there might be a way for her to feel connected to Alex, even when they’re an ocean apart. Life without her BFF is hard, but when Olivia’s cousins move into the neighbourhood, she discovers there are lots of opportunities for making new friends.”
What were your initial thoughts on the book?
My first thoughts
about this book were not good, I wasn’t really sure if I was going to like it
because I hadn’t heard of this author and I don’t really like reading books
that I know nothing about. I had also gotten the book in kindle form so I
couldn’t read the blurb to find out what it was about, so I decided started
reading it and thought that if I found the book boring I would stop but soon I
was near the end, enjoying each chapter wanting to read more. After I read this
book I realised that it is very important to try new things even if you have no
clue how they are going to turn out.
Who was your favourite character and why?
My favourite character
was Olivia because of her courage to talk to new people and make new friends. She
might have not been very brave at first and might not have been able to fit in
but she really showed me that I need to braver and take on new things no matter
how difficult they may seem. I like that she although she was afraid to try and
she was clearly worried about what people would think of her and of being
turned away, she still wanted to try, she was worried about not having any friends
and when she tried to make new ones she tried to think about all the positive
things that could come from friendship to help her along the way.
Would you recommend this book?
I would recommend this
book to anyone between the ages 10-14 who like stories about friendship.
Summarise the book in one sentence. (Verdict)
A story that
represents what friendship can really achieve and the true importance of it.
