Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead

A pretty good/bad story. Kids thirteen and up would probably enjoy this story. I rated this book thirteen and up because one of the main themes is sexting. One of the main characters is asked by an older student to send him a picture of herself. The story also talks about young love. There is infrequent cursing that includes REALLY bad words. In the end of the book, the main characters band together and try to solve their problems. Overall its one of the most inappropriate book I have read. I don't really recommend it to anyone under 13.

I like reading these kinds of books, and I would recommend it. Bridget (Bridge) is the the main character of the book Goodbye Stranger, she survived from a car crash when she was 8 years old, she was roller skating with her friend and was not concentrating on where she was going. When she returned to school her friend Zoe made a new friend Emily, and they made a pact to always draw animals below their names on worksheets and never fight. But when they arrived in 7th grade everything changed, her friends didn't draw animals below their names anymore, and everyone changed, they started to fight a little, the 3 girls face different types of obstacles throughout this book . I would recommend this book, it's a very good book. (Ellery. Grade 7)
