About Us

The Teenager's Book Club is a place to find a good book to read. You know how hard it is to find a good book. Well, all the books on the sight are books I've read and or reading. Some are good and others are not so good. My friends have also read most of the books. That's why I decided to start a book club. Because at my school we share books, well not literally share them,but one person will read a book and if it's good they will tell someone else to read it. That is basically the goal of this Book Club.

The ending (I know I say this every time) could have been better, but it turned out pretty well. I do recommend you read this book.

Complicating matters is Mina's new love interest, Ysrael, a young man from Mexico who comes to work at the family's dry cleaners, who urges her to follow her dreams—and him
