Of all the books I've read my favorite book was Shug written by "Jenny Han". This book was filled with with romance, drama and reality,like a typical teenage book. It reminded me of all obstacles you go through when you are in pre-teen years. Many readers can realte to this story in a number of ways.
In this book Annemarie had a normal life up until her father had started working more. While the dad was gone there was drama between all the family members. On the outside the family acted as if nothing was wrong, but on the inside they all hurt of something. Seeing that they are only a family when dad's home but when e leaves they go back to sadness. As I thought, I was not able to connect to this part yet some of my friends may and many readers as well.
As the family played a big factor the boys were becoming an even bigger problem to Annemaries middle school life. Like most of us , she used to be the girl that said, " ewhhh you have cooties". Since we all go through that change when boys are no longer gross or those girls aren't mean anymore,it's changed into well "he's nice or she's kinda of cute". Many of my friends and I can relate to this because we are going through that transition right now. For example as of right now there is thing called "going out" which means when a boy and a girl like each other.
Since there is all the boys and family there then comes peer pressure though it's something that just about everyone in life comes across. Throughout the story Annemarie had been offered alcohol which she drank and afterward got sick. Although she did because she was trying to be cool and be like everybody else. This is a perfect example of how teenagers get in these situations. About everyone wants to "fit in" but what is fitting in? In the real world why would we all be the same and do as one person does,even if it's wrong?
Since she was dealing with peer pressure Annemarie was also facing the struggle of Middle school life. Twelve and thirteen are the ages of when everyone is going through changes, figuring out who they really are. As some may have difficulties with grades and school work, others may experience different challenges. Besides when most of everyone is at different stages , that's when it's hard to get along with others. Therefore this creates a bad atmosphere to learn in. Above all middle school is one of the parts in life that you just have to remember who you are.
However the book "Shug" taught many readers and I that middle school is filled with surprises good and bad. This book is likable because many pre-teens can make connections also this book makes readers stop and think or have thoughts while reading. " Shug" tells just about every challenge or obstacle we go through during our pre-teen years.

Time
A man an women were waiting patiently at huge San Fransico train station. They looked aged and torn down. Their "names" were George and Patricia Whalking today this would be the day they would finally settle things. The train was taking them to a place of where they never dreamt of returning. The child hood memories all the flash backs would be over for good. Today was the day the old couple would see life again.
