Author: Michele Weber Hurwitz Book Color: Purple
Book Genre: Realistic Fiction Summary: It's the summer before high school, and Nina is kind of lost. Summers with her best friend Josie are the usual: being dragged to shopping malls, summer school, and Josie begging to do her nails constantly. But when one of her neighbors can't plant her marigolds because of a broken leg, Nina plants them for her. Suddenly, she realizes that by doing nice things for others, she can secretly change her neighborhood for the better. So she sets a goal: to secretly do 65 nice things for others in 65 days, or until school starts. Can she pull it off in time for high school? Or will she be discovered first? Personal Review: This book was amazing! It made me feel like it was summertime, even though it was cold out. Nina is a awkward teenager who wants to do nice things for others, and along the way she becomes more open to the rest of the world and learns about her neighbors in ways she never would have imagined. Her parents are lawyers, and they are away a lot, so they don't know and aren't suspicious of her...until the end of the book. But that's for me to know and for you to find out! Recommendation: I would recommend this for realistic fiction lovers, who can take on sad moments in a book, and who like some, but not a lot, of mystery in their books (Nina has to solve why one of her neighbors drives away at night but never comes out in the day, and who lives in the creepy house at the end of the street!). This was a great book, a nice mix of almost everything a book could have. Book sound interesting? Click here for Amazon's review.
