Autumn 2005 Review:

Book Cover Sandpiper

Ellen Wittlinger

Simon & Schuster Children's

© 2005

        This book is very good.  When I began to read it, I just could not put the book down.  I read Sandpiper in one day; it has a very informative message that the story puts across to the reader.  The book is about this fifteen year-old girl, who is telling the story.  She is trying to figure out life.  I don't want to give to much away.  The book is very easy to follow and is it about stuff that happens in teenagers lives now.  The characters in this book are believable; some are nice and some you can just understand why you would want to hit them. 

        This is the first book I have read by Ellen Wittlinger and I absolutely loved it!  I would not want to improve on anything.  I believe this book is for anyone in High School, because the issues that go on in Sandpiper on issues that are going on in 99.9 percent of every teenagers' life right now. I also believe that this book can put your life in a whole new perspective.  It really was a wonderful book: one of best I have read in a while and I read a lot.  I highly recommend this book to read.
