Prom

The book I read was Prom, written by Laurie Halse Anderson. The book is about a prom being canceled, because the math teacher stole the money. In the process of trying to help save up money, Ashley, the main character decides to turn her life around.

In Pennsylvania, in a bad school, with students with drug problems,alcohol problems, and always being late, Ashley, has a best friend named Nat. Nat is one of the people who will actually be someone. Nat has always dreamed about prom, more than just a dance, a real magical night! But, the teacher steals the money, and Nat is determined to make prom happen, with money,or without. In the mean time, Ashley is trying to deal with school, making up detentions, her family at home, and her boyfriend Tj. She ends up learning about how important school is for the future, with many adventures along the way!

I really loved this book! I liked how as soon as you picked it up, you couldn't put it down! I also liked how the chapters are very short! So, if you don't have alot of time, you can still read some chapters. Something I don't like is how there is no sequals. I also didn't like how it got confusing with characters at some points. I think an appropriate age group is for 7th and 8th graders, because there is some bad language. I would recomend this to all my friends. I think alot of girls would like this book, not really guys. But Prom was a great book! (:
