Love this book for my novice learners. The story is compelling - the reader HAS to keep reading because we want to know how the problem is resolved! In addition to engaging topic/action the underlying struggle that a character has in deciding what to do is great for teens to experience. I also love that it features realistic characters that are portrayed with their humanity.

This story was easy to read without being too repetitive. It is written with the novice student in mind. I love that it ties in another Francophone country for us to explore as well as "le foot"!

I use El Jersey to enhance our 8th grade "Living on One" thematic unit after students complete a unit on Copa America. The cultural ties to Guatemala and to the Copa are endless. My students really relate to the characters.

My level 2 Spanish students enjoy this book in Spanish because it is written with vocab and structure they can understand. They also enjoy how the two worlds come together. These situations can happen to any of us. When students read this book, they are not only learning Spanish, they are learning good character.

I LOVE that this book features a black female main character. #BlackLivesMatter This is a cute, simple romantic book, written in easily accessible language for your struggling readers. The plot is predictable and uncomplicated, which is what we want from our Rom-Com books and movies, right? This book is constantly being read by my students during FVR. Love it!!

I finally got around to reading this one recently, and it was super fun to read - but it left me wanting more. It has a pretty predictable story line, but the characters are so likable, that you enjoy going on the roller coaster of emotions with them. I LOVE that it features LGBTQ characters. This book is on HIGH circulation in my classroom during FVR!

This one is SUCH a compelling story! I read the first chapter with my students to hook them, and then let them fight over it for FVR. I love real-life stories of real-life people overcoming real-life problems - and that's what this is. I specifically like this book for the boys in my class (although the girls will enjoy it, too) because the main character is a teenage boy. LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Don't judge a book by it's cover! This book is SO GOOD! I wish it had a more interesting cover. I have to really hype it up for FVR to get kids to read it (and I think it is because of the cover). This AWESOME BOOK tells the story of two friends who live very different lives. It goes back and forth between them telling the story (which I love). I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. LOVED IT!

If I could give this more stars I would. It has a great message about doing the right thing even when it is tough that resonates with everyone. Grappling with tough discussions and problems is difficult for all. This book hits on many topics relevant to today and students love it!
