Girls Acting Catty

by Leslie Margolis

I read this book called Girls Acting Catty it’s by Leslie Margolis. The main character is a girl named Annabelle. Annabelle is a really sweet girl, who has trouble dealing with change. For example when Annabelle moves away and starts going to a new school and making new friends she has a tough time dealing with all the change .  Also before she moved she went to an all girls school and now she goes to a school with boys and she realizes that trying to run away from your problems just makes things worse. In this story Annabelle’s mom gets married so Annabelle welcomes a new dad and brother into the family. She has friendship problems like all girls do. The setting is in Westlake.

For Annabelle growing up isn’t that easy she gets teased a lot and when her brother moves in with her and she realizes that she has a crush on him everything changes. Also in the book she loses her friends, and also her mom gets married for the first time so now Annabelle has a dad and a brother and that is a big change for her because she only had a mom and now she has to welcome 2 new people to the family. In the book after Annabelle had lost her friends she said “With no dog and no friends, I was the loneliest loner in town”.

I really liked this book because it’s well written and the main character Annabelle  is like a lot of kids and sometimes it feels good to read something about a character who is like you and knowing that they went through the same problems as you even if they are just made up people. I would recommend this book to people who are getting bullied, or who have friendship problems, to people who are sensitive, and to people who have very tender hearts. Annabelle is all of those things and it feels good to relate to a character in a book you’re reading. I would rate this book five out of five stars. *****
