Izzy, Willy-Nilly

Realistic Fiction
* * * * Stars (Great!)

This book is about a nice highschooler named Isobel. She got asked out by a guy named Marco. He was drunk when he was driving her home and they got in an accident. She had to get her leg amputated. She’s very sad and can’t stand life like this. A random girl from school comes to cheer her up and they start hanging out. That random girl’s name is Rosemunde. Isobel is a nice cheerleader. Rosemunde is a smart, rude, unfashionable girl. I liked this book because it shows you the point of view from a cripple. It shows you how to be happy with what you have.
