The New Girl Review

The New GirlLois Gladys LeppardH. MotenPeriod 1The book I read is called "The New Girl". This book is mainly about a girl named Faith. She moved to a new house and doesnt know anybody. She is the same age as Mandy. Mandy is Faith's neighbor. Mandy cant wait to have a new friend, but Faith doesnt want to be friends with her. It turns out that Mandy has a secret, and the secret is that her parents dies in a deadly fire. Faith thinks that she started it. What I liked about this book was the part when Mandy is trying to become friends with Faith and how Mandy is doing all these things to become friends with her. This reminds me of another story of me and my friends. She didnt want to be friends with me because she missed her old friends and her old house. What I disliked about this book was that Faith could of been a little more polite to Mandy. I think she was a little too harsh to her. And the book was too short, and I really liked this book. My favorite part in this book was again when Mandy was trying to be friends with Kate, and how Mandy was being so nice to her. I liked that Mandy would do whatever to be friends with her.

Neighborly Love

This book gives us a glimps of what neighborly love and kindness use to be like. The character, Mandie, has a sweet heart and curious nature. There is a new girl in town,and Mandie is set on making friends with her. The setting is a small rural town. The story was like reading a "Little House on the Prairie" saga. I was surprised the way the book took off in an unsuspected twist. The book is a quick and interesting read. My 7 & 10 year old daughters liked it so much, they have asked for the next book, "The Mystery at Miss Abigail's". I liked the book because it showed my girls a compassionate way to help a family.
