Starfish

First of, I loved the way this book was written!!! I also loved how this book showed that people - no matter what their size or appearance - have feelings, and they need to be respected. My Dad used to say to me when my brother would attack me: If you make a big fuss, he'll continue. But if you just stay calm and go away, he'll stop. That's the same message this book shows. I REALLY RECOMEND THIS BOOK!!!

This is one of my favorite books. I like the poems and how the poems make a story. The book shows that if you stand up to bullies, they won't be mean to you anymore.

This book was fantastic in multiple ways. It's great for kids who are feeling self-conscious about their body, or have people around them who are pressuring them to change in a way that could harm them. It encourages confidence and action against bullies. It's written in verse, which introduces new types of writing styles to kids, as poetry novels are not as known and recognized as they should be. It shows the effect of having a trustworthy and understanding person to talk about your life to, like a therapist, whom the main character, Ellie, sees regularly. Overall, it's an excellent book, and I would definitely recommend it.

Great book to read the way she stands up to bullies with fighting them ( I like the cake part ) so yeah good book😀

Starfish was a really good book but I also felt bad for the girl who was always made fun of and just wasn’t “allowed” to be herself. This book was really awesome because it shows that anyone can be heard and loved no matter who they are, what they look like and more! It gave me hope for people and me who are or were being bullied and just want to be themselves!❤️
