Girl Bomb By Janice Erlbaum

The second part of my reading has been better. Jan has now been living at the shelter home for about a month. She is now 15. She is not liked at the shelter home because she is one of the only white girls there. The other girls in the house threaten to hurt her and call her names. Jan is sick of it, but she doesn't want to go back home. Jan's mom called the shelter a few times to tell her if she doesn't come home she will throw her stuff in the garbage. Life is getting a lot harder for Jan and she can't deal with it. She smokes a lot and will do just about anything for the girls in the house to make them like her. It's been over a month and Jan still hasn't found a new house to live in. The shelter is trying to find her a foster home or anywhere else, but no luck. She wants to live on her own but she knows she could never handle it.

I think this book so far is really good. It makes me think into more things when i'm reading it. It has a lot of passion and the writing makes me feel like i'm there or like it's happening to me.
