My book has gotten really interesting, going back and forth the different point of views of Helen and Alfons has been really eye opening, that anyone had to live like this. Helen had been taken to a camp called Auschwitz with her husband but her daughter Doris had been left safe in hiding, "Disappearing in the crowd helped Helen stay alive..." (129). I predict that Helen will escape the camp and find her daughter.

I am enjoying this book so far. It is has two different kids perspectives. Alfons, grew up in Germany and looked up to Hitler, and Helen, a Jewish girl in Germany who did not. As Alfons was explaining what he does in school he says, "You were one of the chosen Adolf Hitlers chosen people" (1). This just shows how manipulating Hitler was, that such a young boy admired him. I think Alfons and Helen will cross paths.

“But I just don't feel ready to go on a vacation with him yet” pg178. Bailey says to her mom. Her mom’s boyfriend is planning a trip. Bailey doesn’t want to go because she doesn't want her mom to get close with him. Her talking about it is an improvement because at first Bailey was scared to tell her mom how she thinks. I predict that her mom will end up leaving him since Bailey doesn’t like him.

I'm currently reading Betting on you and am liking it. The main character Bailey is dealing with her parents divorce, as her mom finds a new boyfriend she finds it difficult to readjust to the changes of this. "I was fine with her dating-I didn't want her to be alone forever-but Scott was an imminent threat to all brownie parties I held on for dear life"(101). I predict that Bailey will end up bonding with Scott.

I am still really enjoying my book. Wes and Liz have been spending a lot of time together so Liz can get closer with Michael but I really think its so them two can spend time together. "I wanted to hang out with Wes." Liz says (182) My prediction is that Wes will end up taking Liz to prom and they will find out they both like each other. But it will take Liz time to notice because she still is set on Michael.

This book has been great. Liz lives with her dad and step mom. Her mom passed away 2 year ago from a cause we don't know about yet. Wes the neighbor and Liz have been spending more time together. During this memories come out from their childhood. "No one calls me Libby" My mom had, but since she wasn't there anymore, I couldn't count her, right? I think Liz will talk more of her mom, and Liz and Wes will end up.
