Sia by Josh Grayson

This was an inspiring read that tells the reader that you can make a difference in the world. It only takes a spark kinda thing. It also tackled bullying and being kind to one another. The mean side of things that happen in every high school, but are seldom talked about. My only quibble with the book was that everything was too neat. Problems are resolved with either a conversation or within a day's time. I do think this is a great book for opening the conversation about how students treat one another. Sia has a great voice and a very determined attitude about how people should be treated. Carole was a great touch and was disappointed not to read more about her.

I also loved how the book portrayed kids making a difference to their community. Kyle is a very admirable young man and has his priorities in the right place. I am a sucker for epilogues and am so glad the author included one.
