True (. . . Sort Of) by Katherine Hannigan
5.0
I finished this book yesterday and I couldn't stop smiling.
The protagonist, Delly Pattison was a troublemaker who tried to change throughout the course of the book. She didn't mean to get into trouble. It was just hard for her to control herself and people calling her a bad kid didn't really help.
Ferris Boyd was a mute girl. She was a cautious girl and she didn't like to be touched. She would freak out.
The two girls later became friends along with Delly's younger brother, RB.
One day, when they are out playing, Delly discovered a horrible secret of Ferris' , so big that she couldn't keep quiet about it.
It's really obvious for mature readers because the clues are easy to decipher but since the "action" is off-screen, this book is pretty safe for children to read.
And to answer the question from the back of the book, "Can friendship save you?" Yes. Yes, it can.
Friendship certainly saved me. I like being alone. I like having time for myself. But I don't enjoy feeling lonely. There is a difference. So I saw a little bit of myself in Ferris Boyd.
We were both quiet girls. We were both suffocated by this huge heavy blanket of lonliness. And we both managed to find friendship in the strangest and kindest of people who brought alot of sunshine into our lives and we couldn't be more grateful.
This book is now one of my all-time favorties. I give it five stars and I recommend this book to any reader that needs a quick-read. It's a cute book and if you get emotionally-attached as easily as I do then this book will fill you up with warmth because FRIENDSHIP (screams from the peak of a mountain).
