I did like the book freak.It was a little shorer than i wanted it to be though. I thought the ending wasnt enough. I would think of Miriam As ”uniquely differnt” she does things differently but not at the same time. The part that got me was when she shaved her whole head bald and when she saved the girl that was cruel to her. I think it also shows how brave she is.I also think that her older sister was mean to her and she shouldnt of been treated like she was.

The unexpected event was when Isabelle was in her first day in group and then all of a sudden Ashley Barnum walked in the room. Ashley Barnum was the prettiest and most popular girl in the whole school. Isabelle thought she was perfect. But all her thoughts about that has changed.

If I were to give a character a do-over in the story i would make her sister ugly and make mairiam go to a salon and get a makeover. I think that miriam’s sister was just plain out rude and that mariam didnt deserve to be treated the way she was. I think that i would have mairiam the prettier sister and her other sister the ugly one and let mariam get what she’s been dreaming for. This was a good book .

Im glad Miriam stuck up for her self and Jenny at the end. Miriam is a responsible and a very nice girl. Miriam should keep on doing what shes doing and her life would would turn out better .

Advice that i would give to the author is to make the ending better. It would be better if maybe the author could have at least wrote what happened after her dad came home from rehab.

the advice i would give to sam would be to talk about all the problems she is having with a therpist or someone who has learned how to help people with their problems, cause by talking to someone you don’t know who they are, they could be anybody. so she could have even talked to her dad about it since most of the issues are dealing with him .

I am compare and contrsting this book Freak, to the book Perfect. I have read both books recently.
Freak and Perfect are similar and different in a few ways. In both books there are two teenage girls. They are both dealing with big issues, that a lot of girls might go through. Both of these girl face challenges and difficulties that are very hard to handle. In both books, the main characters are not the most popular girls in there school. In perfect the girl has a bulimia problem, and has to go to group for counseling. In freak, it is different because her problem is that she is getting made fun of by the popular girls. Also, in freak she never really becomes like best friends with the popular girl, as in Perfect she does.

One thing I really liked about the book was how the author changed from each girls perspective. It wasn’t just one person the whole time telling the story. It kept the book more intresting because you just stop in a section and start a new girl and you are anxious to read the next part of the first girl. The only thing I would change in the book was organizing the letters from each girl to another. It would show a letter but there was a response way later in the book and I got really confused.
