Great book

Teens or even young adults/adults will love this book. Easy read, easy to follow the characters, it’s a really nice book. I enjoyed reading the book to take a step back from other books I normally read, something more quick and interesting.

BEST BOOK EVER

This book is very exciting, it will keep you guessing throughout the whole book. You will never want to put the book down. The main character in the book is Ginger, a thirteen-year-old girl who is being mistaken for someone's daughter (Joyce). On Ginger's thirteenth birthday, she goes out to dinner with her family, and her best friend, Karie. After her family and Karie sang her the happy birthday song, a woman comes up to her and wished her a happy birthday. The weird thing was when she said it, she stared at her, touching her shoulder, she never looked at anyone else, but Ginger. Ginger did not know her, neither did her parents. When Ginger, her family and Karie are leaving the restaurant, Ginger sees the women writing on a piece of paper. Ginger thinks she is writing down the license number from their car. Later, the next day, she sees a white car parked in front of their neighbors driveway, the thing was, her neighbors were out of town. Everyday, she thinks, a woman she does not even know, is watching her. Later in the story, the woman told her that she thinks Ginger is her daughter that had been told she had died a few years before. Other things, than the woman, are happening in her life, is that her favorite teacher wants to be fired. Mr. Wren is a social studies and the girls' basketball coach of her school. Ginger says he is one of the best teachers and coaches of all. A women named, Mrs. Vaughn, thinks that Mr. Wren is not playing the best players most of the time. Of course, Mrs. Vaughn is talking about her daughter, Polly. Most of the players said Mr. Wren promised all the girls to play equal times, to be fair for all the girls. I strongly suggest this book because it is very terrifying and spine chilling. The best part in this book is the climax, it is the most exciting part in the book, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Tipper is her little brother who is away at a friends house the whole time this is going on. Laura is her sister who is very worried about Ginger. I will encourage anyonne and everyone I can to read this book.

My review on "I'm Not Who You Think I am"

Ginger Shaw is a 13 year old girl from Seattle, Washington who becomes a large target to a very interesting woman. While celebrating her 13th birthday party she sees and odd woman (Joyce).When Ginger and her family leave the restaurant Ginger spots the woman again and sees the woman writing and thinks she's coping the cars license plate number. That evening Ginger's sister Laura caters a party and sees the woman. The woman saw her with Ginger that afternoon and asked," Where's your sister." Then the woman asked for Laura's business card and leaves. The woman believes Ginger is her daughter who has died many years ago. Ginger wasn't very afraid of the woman, until she sees the woman parked outside her house in a white car with a yellow ribbon. Then the phone calls begin. At this point, Ginger is getting a little spooked.Now, the worst part is both of her parents have to go out of town, but if Ginger tells her parents they'll have to cancel their plans to help Ginger. So Ginger doesn't tell and stays at home with her sister.This is not all that is happening in Ginger's life. She has other things happening at her school like, a meddlesome parent named Mrs.Vaugan who wants to fire Ginger's favorite teacher and basketball coach Mr. Wren, because she wants her daughter to have more playing time than the rest of the team. This great book will at times make you laugh and some time spook you out. That is all your opinion.
