Keesha's House by Helen Frost

 

 

This book is a very interesting book. It caught my attention right at the beginning of it. It has a very different set up than most books because it is written more like journal entries. There are many characters and each of them has their own storyabout how they come together at Keesha's house. So I recommend this book for anyone who likes books based on realistic teenage troubles.
