MS HS - ESSENTIAL

It’s the summer before 13yo Nina starts her freshman year in high school, and she wants to make a difference.  Her Grandmother taught her about STs (simple truths) and Nina decides to do one kind thing for each day of summer vacation, anonymously.  Can one girl’s random acts of kindness bring a whole neighborhood together? 

This is a great feel good book with realistic kids and their problems.  Well written without a lot of issues, this realistic fiction / teen romance will be a hit with the girls.
