Where The Heart Is
For my second quarter book I read, my favorite character was Novalee Nation. In the beginning of the book she is a very naive and innocent young girl who is still finder her way. Novalee lets herself be controlled by her aggressive boyfriend up until he ditches her at a Walmart while she's pregnant. Even though she was devastated she found it in herself to move forward. She becomes a very strong teenage girl in order to support her coming baby.
I really liked how she was able to grow throughout the book and not give up hope. She was very clever throughout the process and found ways to survive. Novalee was also very kind which I could relate to because I don't like being mean to people and I'm very open to making new friends just like she was. Even though the world threw so many obstacles her way, she never changed her kindness and kept seeing the world as best as she could.
This seems like an interesting book to read. Most girls that would be put in that situation would turn mean and wouldn't care about others as much because of what they have been through. That's good the character in this book found a way to still be kind.
