Customer Reviews

wow

As I read this book call Plain City I feel very sorry about this girl who struggles a lot. Her hair is like a straw-colored, made even lighter by last summer's sun. Summer or winter, her hair rimmed her heart-shaped face in golden Rasta twists. She is aware of their discomfort. She is very brave, she spend most of her time with her father. She accepts that her father was called Missing in Action, but she doesn't know who told her that. She thinks it's hard growing up as a twelve year old and walking from a deep sleep. I know she sometimes feel lonely.

A book about the akwardness of growing up and the heart ache

It's a book about a girl going through the akwardness of adolesences. This reminds me of my life. Teens and children alike should read this book to understand that they are not alone in this metamorphisis on life. It gets confusing at first but then you won't want to put it down.
