Not So Shy Book Review

Review by SZA

This was a great book! Shai's story connects with everyone, even those who have absolutely nothing in common with her. It is funny, but at the same time a wonderful story. If you do not know which book to pick, pick this one: you will not regret it!

Relateable

Review by Isleofchickens

I really relate to the character in this book. Even though I never broke my arm, I love to draw and when I moved to Vermont, I had a hard time fitting in. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for friends and community.
