Then she starts kindergarten, and goes to a school with a bunch of other kids that are just like her! but then, once the year is over she has to start normal school and live through the embarrassment, good friends, bad friends and lots of other things in her school life.


i thought that this book was very good and has a good message. it is a graphic novel just so you know, it is also a very quick read.

"THERE IT IS" I  shout "Or there it WOULD be except for the incredibly thick covering of fog over the shoreline, we have walked the five or so blocks from our hotel room to reach the beach. Once we start to feel the heavy sand swallow up our feet, Elliott and I kick off our shoes and clothes and run in to the water in our swim suits. Elliott runs out ahead but I stop when the cold water touches my knees and look around, I am in a place where I can't see through the fog to shore but no one is out this far in the water. I cant hear anything but the steady rushing of the waves. when I breath in, I feel the huge amount of moisture in the air and the saltyness of it on my tongue.

SOL #1 march first

SSSSCCRRREEEEEECCCHHh... sounds the old medal swing as i try and bundle my bare fists tighter together. i squeeze my cold eyes together and try and think of summer, sun, waves, warmth... but no its to hard even to imagine with the blank, grey, still air floating around me like like a boat on still water before a storm. the frozen metal of the thin bench slats starts to dig in to my legs and make them even colder. i stand up, look around, there is nothing new just the same old park, i blink my eyes and then flee to the house.

Trading faces.

Payton and Emma mills have always been so close because they are identical twins. But then comes middle school and Payton and Emma are drawn apart through social lifes, studying etc. Emma is the brainiac and Payton is the fashionista but once Payton's social life gets put of control, they switch places at school but it doesn't stop there.

I really like this book. It is a really good pastime and a pretty quick read.

SOL

I shiver as the chilled sea water laps at my toes, making them turn red. I step foreword and turn around so that my back faces the eternity of blues green ocean and the water laps up to my knees. suddenly the water pulls hard against my legs and starts to swell up behind me, the water holds tight to my shins and pulls me in. I tug at my leg as the water builds up in to a huge wave waiting to swallow me up. suddenly, before I can start towards the shore the water flings itself over me and and sprays in to my face as if to blind me so that it can keep me under. instinctively my arms shoot up and grasp for air, but there seems to only be salty waves. then as soon as it came up, it rolls out on to the beach. I spit out the water in my mouth and wipe my eyes then stand back up, (the force of the wave had pushed me down.) when i look around, it is as if nothing ever happened and it is just another sunny day on a California beach.
