Not So Shy

Review by Zemirah

I liked this book, I can really relate to this because our family had to move several times due to my dad's job. You have to get used to new places, people, languages, ways, etc. and try to make new friends and the dreaded new school! Sometimes you are homesick for your old home, and you want to go back, but you feel stuck in your place right now but it doesn't feel like home either. Home is not a specific place but can be a bit of several different places even at the same time. People, food, culture, can be 'home' and give you comfort. When you move again, you'll be a bit empty, but you'll a bit from each place and thing with you. It helped lift me up! It helps me being "the new girl" a bit easier! Be yourself, everyone else is taken! Don't take everything people say or do to heart, people can change, find good friends and stay away from bad influences. I'm not so shy anymore now!

INTRESTING

Review by JSG0924

There's a scary part near the end. It was awesome and the title is interesting because SHY has a couple of meanings and you don't know which one it is.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It was a quick read for me, but then again, I'm a quick reader. I love the plot so much, and I'll read it over and over again!
