Everybody kno The interesting novel "Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice" written by the famous author Paula Danziger talks about a 14-year-old girl named Lauren and her teenage life. Lauren has 2 sisters, Mellisa who is 19, and Linda who is 10. Everybody knows that it is not fun when you have no rights in your household. Especially Lauren she has to share her room with her annoying little sister, she doesn't get enough allowance, she wasn't allowed to get her ears done, her parents decide at what time she comes home. Lauren wants to become a lawyer when she grows up. Her school is getting this new class on law, Lauren can't wait for it. At one point, Lauren decides if she can sue her parents for malpractice. As one can see this novel is very interesting.

I chose three questions: Which part of the book is most interesting to you? Explain. Do you think your friends will be interested in reading this book? Why or why not? What lesson can you learn from this person's life? Explain. First, the part when Lauren and her best friend sneaked out to get their ears pierced was my favourite part in this book because for me it was a suspenseful part, I was worried if Laurens dad would catch them and how she would explain to him what she did. Second, I think that most of my girl friends would be interested in this book because it helps you know what is good and bad in a teenage life and it also talks about boys and how to deal with them. Last, from this novel you can learn that everything you do has consequences, for example when Lauren and her best friend came back from the mall (where they got their ears pierced) her parents found out and got mad at her. As one can see, I really enjoyed this novel.

I find that this novel has some good and bad parts. A good part was when Lauren was talking to her sister about why she broke up with her boyfriend because it showed me that it is okay to finish something and to not forgive everything because some things you can forgive, but somethings you can't. My least favorite part of this novel was when Lauren's little sister, Linda tells her jokes because I find that she is a useless character. I would love to read another novel by this author because I find that she has gone through many teenage problems that she talks about in her novels. I would like to recommend this book to mostly middle school/ high school girls and even mabey boys too because this novel doesn't only talk about girl problems it also talks about teenage problems, so it could also probably help a boy too. As one can see, this novel is for a little bit everyone. ...more "
