My Favorite Book
Gwenyth Jergenson My favorite book is called If You Find Me. This book is a young adult realistic fiction book about a girl named Carrie. She shares her journey on adjusting from living in the woods with her sister in an abandoned camper to the busy life of normal people- people that have heaters and air conditioning, more than 2 pairs of clothes they’ve had since they were six… and ate more than a can of beans every meal because their mom doesn’t buy them anything else for the little meals they receive. I decided to read this book in seventh grade, when I was bored with the school books we were required to read. This is definitely a book I would recommend to a reader in high school, but it probably isn’t suitable for middle schoolers because of the abuse in the book. I think …show more content…
In the beginning the book takes place in the woods in an old camper. I have always loved the woods and outdoors and everything in this book is what I would picture it to be. It later takes place in their father’s home and at school and I like when they are home the most, because there is a lot of drama at home and it shows the two sisters re-learning how to do things most people take for granted like watching t.v., sleeping in a bed, having warm clothes to wear and eating full meals. Another reason I love this book is because I can visualize it so well. Everything is crisp and clear in the writing and I feel like there is a movie going on inside my head. The author tells such a good story and does even better making you feel like you are a part of this book with the characters. The only thing that I did not like about this book was that they weren’t in the woods for that long, the first chapter was when their dad found them and took him with them. I wish it would have showed me more of how their life was before. But other than that, this is the best book I have ever read in my
