Book Recommendation

So as I finished reading Sing Down the Moon, I was pretty shocked at the fact how great the book ended up being, despite the fact that I had a huge problem with it when I first started it. The book ends up covering a good portion of the main character's life from her teen years all the way till she gets married and even has her first child. Now this book does have some very touchy topics but it's not anything a person can't handle. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone because first off its not that long. And we all know how we feel when we have to read a book thats like a 1000 pages. No of us will EVER like it. Because lets face it- these days most all of us hate reading. We're better off on our phones tweeting and texting.

Anyways, I also loved this book because it's relatable to everyone. Everyone can pick a part and understand what the character is going through because they may have had that experience before. For example, the character has two friends [Running Bird and White Deer] that she does everything with. They're practically her sisters because they have grown up together, learned together... done everything together. And thats relatable because everyone has friends that they love and enjoy spending time with.

The other noticeable thing I loved in the book was the character. Each one has a great personalty that makes it easier to understand the part they play in the book. They all together struggle through something and thats what makes their personality come out. Every character is unique and the way the author put them together really is creates wonders.

Overall this story is one about struggle, perseverance, family, and determination, which makes it a great read for anyone looking for a short book or one that will be a favorite for years to come.
