this book made me think about not what you look like on the outside but on the inside. I guess the point I am making is you don't NEED to look pretty to be kind and inviting to new food, traditions ,rituals, and friends.
If there were 2 1/2 stars I may do that, but this book was a bit boring. It also said (this is not the books fault) on the website that this book was 216 pages long.
The main character Roxanne was ashamed about being Jewish but when an Israeli Girl named Liat moves to town Roxanne changes perspectives and decides to not be ashamed of her heritage. This book is great, it definitely will make you scared at some points, but the moral of the story is that your friends are there for you and you should be there for them.
This book was pretty good. I would mostly recommend it, but i found it predictable and basic. it was like pretty much every story about a girl the main characters age. Middle school, fitting in, crushes, friends, family, etc. Even though it was predictable, i still thought it was a good book. it just wasn't a book that I will remember for a while.
