Not so shy

Review by Sonicblast

I enjoyed this book. It reminded me no matter who or where a person comes from we need to treat them the way I want to be treated. We all need to be the friend that sticks together and stand up for each other. I would love to paint a mural that would be awesome

Not so Shy

Review by Skeerthana

This book is about girl who moved from Israel to America I like this book because it talks about how hard change can be for someone who comes from a different country or state that is why I really like this book.
