Blog Assingment 2

I am currently reading "Getting the Girl" by Susan Juby. In this novel it follows the life of an average kid Sherman Mack attending Harewood Tech in grade 9. There are the average jocks, scholars and everyone else in between but also there are the Defiled. Only girls get defiled and it's usually because they have been messing around with guys too much or have done something totally not right, therefore they are totally ignored. Sherman has the 'hots' for Dini (a grade 10 student) but is worried she will shortly get "D-listed" so he does all that he can to find out who the defiler is and tries to stop them.

"Getting the Girl" by Susan Juby has taken me on the ride of high school's ups and downs and I am loving every minute of it! Her grammar choice and sentence structure has mad me feel like I am actually in the mind of Sherman Mack with the details she uses. The drama she wrote about Sherman is mind blowing and I cam sometimes relate to his issues. I think that making the reader feel like he/she is involved in the story is the best way to keep them interested. I would defiantly recommend this novel to anyone ,girls or boys,  because of its details and plot.
