Time Read: 3 hours Pages Read: 210 1. What exciting events just happened in your book? What do you think will happen next? Right now one of the most popular girls of the school, Tandy, is hanging out with Sonya. One night Sonya goes to Tandy's house and finds out that Tandy is a high achiever and lives in a big mansion after Tandy makes everyone believe that her life is so rough and she lives in the ghetto like every other typical black girl. I think that Tandy has showed Sonya that she trust her and I think that Sonya will end up telling Tandy that she really isn't mixed but she is full white. 2. What was one of your favorite lines from the book and why? My favorite line from the book is " Tandy's words, She rolling with us now, authenticates Sonya like a notary's stamp. I liked this quote from the book because I think that it was a good way for the author to explain how Sonya felt instead of saying it directly. I also think that this is a start of an important part of the book when Sonya begins hanging out with the popular crowd and she lies about her identity just so that she can do that. 3. What do you think that the theme/ author's message of the book is? I think that so far the author is showing me all of the guilt that Sonya could have avoided just by telling the truth and not pretending to be something that she is not. I think that author is trying to say that even at the moment it may not seem that way, it will always, in the end, be better and easier if you just tell the truth and not pretend to be something that you are not.
