Freak

By Marcella Pixley...so, where you the person in school that everyone picked on for being too different? Miriam Fisher used to be best of friends with her older sister Deborah, but now Deborah is pretty and popular and doesn't want to be seen around her younger sister. This was a short read...I finished in a little under 45 minutes. I LOVED it!! Miriam is likable and different enough and she does have a great friend. Her protagonist is a girl named Jenny (a girl that takes after several girls I knew in High School)...the relationship between them, Miriam and her sister and then the relationship Miriam has with Artie, a boy who comes to live with them for his senior year is incredible...I recommend this to both teens and adults!!
