Haters by:Alisa Valdez-Rodriguez

A book that i have read recently was Haters by Alisa Valdez-Rodriguez. This book was about how a new girl moves into a high-society neighborhood and how she fits in there. When she first moves in, nobody gives her the time of day except for the most popular girl in school 's boyfriend and her geeky neighbors. She tries to keep her head just on fitting in and biking, the girls at school just won't give her a break. She tries to stay out of their way and when that doesn't work, she decides to do something about it. She makes new friends and starts to not let the other girls get to her. By the end of the book, she has a new boyfriend, good friends, and people respect her. The theme of this book is treat others how you want to be treated. This book shows a good example of this by showing that when the most popular girls in school are mean to her, she comes out on top by not letting them get to her and making her own friends. I agree with the theme that the author portrays in the book. I really liked this book and would recomend it to anyone else looking for a book to read.
