Summary from Goodreads: Trent Osceola's life is turned upside down when his mother announces
that he will be moving to the Miccosukee reservation to live with his father,
who was recently released from prison. Only half Miccosukee, Trent feels
alienated from rez society and starts to question who he really is. When he
changes schools, he reconnects with Pippa, a childhood friend who moved away,
and together they tackle the class assignment to make a film of their lives.
When he starts to see himself through Pippa's eyes, Trent’s not sure he likes
what he sees. Will he ever be good enough for the rez, for school, and for her?
1) I studied film in Prague
for a summer and lived next to an opera house. Every night, I fell asleep
to Mozart.
2) My cat loves water. She
will jump in the bathtub and dunk her head under the faucet.
3) I learned how to fire and load
a shotgun, a Glock, and a .357 for book research. (the paper targets looked like
zombies).
4) When I was little, I told
stories to my dolls.

5) GOOD LUCK!
I love realistic fiction books! I also really like cool looking bookmarks. :) It was pretty tough to pick the lie, but hopefully I guessed correctly!
ReplyDeleteEeeek, the three truths and a lie was pretty tricky this time. >__< But some of them were still interesting. That book sounds interesting... and those bookmarks are really nice. ovo
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely terrible at this game. Seriously. I just can't guess the right answers!
ReplyDeleteThough this book doesn't look like my kind of thing, it does sound interesting! And I missed the giveaway, but I want to say the thing about her cat is the lie! because the other two things sound too cool to be fake! :)
ReplyDeleteTo live next to an opera house.sounds amazing:-D
ReplyDeleteI have no idea which is which, but I really hope that the first 3 are the truths! And I can load any gun, and turn around and bullseye the target, so if that one is true, you are an author after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteI saw this book on Goodreads and I was super pumped to read it! Looks very good
