# 3: Finding a Page Turner book!

I love, love, LOVE to read. Sometimes I find it hard to squeeze it into my busy schedule and I like when I find a book that I am excited to read each night before I go to bed. I got a Nook for Christmas and have found reading much more interesting because of it. I have read at least 3 books that I've been looking forward to at the end of each day.

BUT IT GETS BETTER. This weekend I found a book that I LITERALLY stopped time with and forgot all about being productive.

It's Young Adult Fiction (surprised? Don't be I'm a 7th grade teacher... meaning I am 12). The main character Sam (Slam, Samuel, Sandwich.. etc), dies on like the 2nd page of the book. She then gets 7 chances to re- live the day and find her purpose. Sam is a bully, and a popular mean girl and she realizes she has to change a lot about who she is and who her friends are to make things better. Very original, non- clichéd endings, and brings up some great questions about how to make each day count and live up to your expectations. Not other people's.

Who needs friends when you have books?
