Summer Reading

       I am reading Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is a very good book. It is about a guy in highschool named Tyler Miller. He got caught doing grafitti on the school and got in trouble and had to work over the summer as part of his punishment. 

       In the beginning of the book, Tyler doesn't feel good about himself.  He thinks he's a loser and he hates his life.  After working hard during the summer, Tyler looks different because he is all buff and grown up.  That is when his life changes because the most popular girl in the school starts to pay attention to him and makes him feel good about himself.

      I made a text to self connection when Iwas reading this book. Tyler Miller has a bad relationship with his father. His father and him do not bond well and his father doesn't do anything with him, and he is always late to any kind of event Tyler is in. Unlike Tyler, I have a good relationship with my dad. He does many things with me such as hunting and other outdoor activities.  Plus, my family is close and Tyler's family seems to be messed up.

     I haven't finished this book yet, so I want to know what happens with Tyler and Bethany at the end of the book and if he gets to date the most popular girl in the school or if she ends up being a mean girl.
