Addie On The Inside by James Howe was a really good book! The author, James Howe is the author of many bestselling books. I enjoyed reading this book because it gave me the courage that if you don't like what other people are doing to you, you should stand up for yourself. This book has very short chapters, so for those who enjoy reading books with short chapters I would recommend this to you. This is one of the best lesson learning books I've read.
The main character Addie is fighting through name calling and a broken heart in seventh grade. She wants to take a stand for herself and wants to become a girl she wants to be. Until now her best friends Skeezie, Bobby, and Joe have made the bullying easy for her but now she doesn't want to be known for other kids words anymore. Addie is a strong, smart, and sensitive girl fighting through all of her difficulties to become a girl she wants to identified as. I don't really like the book's writing style because the writing format is like a poems writing format, and for me I don't enjoy reading books like that. There aren't any pictures in this book, and the book isn't funny. One quote from the book is, "I pray for release from this purgatory of the middle school years when so many things that never mattered before and will never matter again matter." So from this quote I understand how bad she's been treated in her middle school years.
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading realistic-fiction. I wouldn’t recommend this book to people who are more in sports and non-fiction. This book was fantastic and I definitely think everyone who reads this book will learn an important lesson. Whoever reads this book won’t stop reading it, but some parts were a little boring for me. I think this book is appropriate for both girls and boys. Overall I thought this book was awesome!
