Fly On The Wall

by E. Lockhart
Gretchen wishes that she was a fly on the wall in the boy’s locker room and her wish is granted.

by Sharon Draper

Do you ever feel like you are the only one? The only one who feels like you do, who wants what you want, who thinks about what you think about. That is just how the teens in these books feel: Just Visiting This Planet . Maybe you can relate.
