I'm Not Her


 
Author Janet Gurtler makes her debut with the new novel I’m Not Her. In the book, we meet Tess, an artsy girl who has been in her sporty sister’s shadow for as long as she can remember.
 
Shortly after school starts for the year, Tess’ world is turned upside down when her sister is diagnosed with cancer. Because her sis doesn’t want her popular crowd knowing why she’s absent from school, Tess is forced to lie about it as she tries to continue her day-to-day life.
 
But the gossip surrounding her sister gives Tess new popularity, and changes her life in ways that she would have never expected. With all of this going on, she struggles to deal with everything around her, from her sister’s sickness, the difficulties facing her family, her new popularity and the roles that have fallen on her.
 
I’m Not Her (in stores now) is a story that is nothing but completely real, giving you an honest look at the life of a teenage girl who has to go through dealing with illness in her family. You will be touched by Tess’ struggles and will find yourself inspired by the choices she makes.  Be sure to pick up a copy and tell us what you think.

MOD MOD MOD this is just like me well the shadow part but not the whole cancer thing no no no, i just hate being under all 5 of my siblings shadow, im really good at things other then all of them but all my teachers think im just like them but im not, even my friends, i cant show my true side cause they wont let me. I hate when they ask why i cant be more like them




Hey girl,

This problem is totally yours to fix - and here's how! First off, forget about their expectations for you. They think you're gonna be an A+ student just like your older sis? Psh, you get good grades but there's NO pressure to live up to that. They think you're gonna be an amazing track star because your bro set the mile record? Lol, yeah right. Who cares? You're good at basketball, or painting, or playing the flute, or student government, or French, or whatever it is that YOU love. Focus on those things - what makes YOU happy, not what your sibs were good at. You'll prove yourself based on your own unique strengths - and that's what will make you proudest Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!
So for my required summer reading, I have to read 2 books from this list:
The Last of the Mohicans by James F. Cooper, My Antonia by Willa Carther, The Natural by Bernard Malamud, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Puddin' Head Wilson by Mark Twain, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel DeFoe, Watership DOwn by Richard Adams.  Have you read any of these books?? If so, which ones are good? I'm not sure which to read.
Thank you!




Hey girl,

   No I have not but see if any of your parents, friends, or siblings have and what their opinions are of them. Or you could just pick random ones because I'm sure that any of the books on the list are very interesting. Good luck! x0x0
