True Colours (Lucy Lemay Cellucci)

Tenth grade is not going so well for Zoe Sanders. First off, she has been put into Mr. Norton's homeroom class, who is the strictest teacher in the school. To make matters even worst, her best friend has been put into another class and they have no classes together.

                                                 

Shanisa Davies, her best friend, has changed from an animal- loving person to a girl who loves shopping, make- up and boys. Zoe has not changed at all throughout the summer; she is still an animal- lover who thinks shopping and make- up are dumb.

Zoe is getting tired of hearing about Shanisa's cheerleading tryouts and make- up, but she still eats lunch with her.

When Zoe learns about a socials project, she decides to do it on animal cruelty. But she ends up getting paired up with Alex, an annoying boy from her homeroom that never does his homework.

Zoe is dreaming about doing this project with Josh (her crush) so he can see how passionate she is about animals. He would be a fool not to like her if he saw past her horrible luck. But even if she got too, she would have to compete with Abbey, the most popular girl in school.

Zoe must learn how to break away from the crowed and let her true colours shine to fight against animal cruelty.

This book had me laughing at times. Zoe is an awkward tenth grader who has horrible luck. I think everyone can relate to her.

This is a light and fluffy fast read. But even though there are thousands of books with the same type of plot, the ending of this one is different, making it twice as good.

This book seemed to have lots of literary devises, which made the book seem balanced.

Personally, I love books that have lots of suspense. This book had some. Surprisingly, it was not boring at all because of all the things going on in the plot. Lucy Lemay Cellucci managed to avoid using suspense, but it was not too obvious and it did not take away from the book.

4. 15 out of 5 stars
