Addie on the Inside
by James Howe
companion to The
Misfits
Book Description:
The Gang of Five is back in this third story from
Paintbrush Falls. Addie Carle, the only girl in the group of friends is
outspoken, opinionated, and sometimes…just a bit obnoxious.
But as seventh grade progresses, Addie’s not so sure anymore about who she is. It seems her tough exterior is just a little too tough and that doesn’t help her deal with the turmoil she feels on the inside as she faces the pains of growing up.

Review:
I have to confess I've never read The Misfits, but if it's anything like Addie on the Inside, I will be going back and reading it soon!
I loved the poems that this author used to tell Addie's story. They were easy to read and captured her emotions really well. This book tackled a lot of serious issues like interracial dating, politics, and grief, but all without sounding "preachy."
This was a really quick, but good read.
