Change can sometimes be a good thing, but other times, not so
great. For Elise, starting
middle school brought on many challenges. When she started school her locker
mate bulled her for being “babyish”. She
found herself distancing herself from her best friend. In addition, she had to learn to share
her home with her Aunt’s sister and baby. This was all too much for Elise to
handle. However, after her
12th birthday, things
began to look up for her. She
started discovering some mysterious keys her late-father left for her to find
and each key opened a door to a room. As
she unlocked each room, she began to find herself. With the help of her friends and
family, Elise learned about her past, overcame her present challenges and began
to look forward to her future.
Eight Keys by Suzanne La Fleur is a great story about a girl coming
of age. For 4th grade and older.
