I've read three of her books and they were all very good. This author writes stories and make you feel like you are actually there. I enjoyed JOURNALS OF A WANNABE BASKETBALL PLAYER here is the review I wrote for it on Amazon.
I thought I was really reading the diary of a nine year old girl. This story hits right at home. The little girl had to deal with being a twin and not only being a twin but being the one that is considered the "bad one, the dumb one". I can imagine what that was like. This book touches on so many things and shows how children deal with real life situations. My parents split up when I was young so I can relate to Kayla not wanting to accept her fathers new girl friend and trying to find something wrong with her moms new boyfriend. She gets picked on at school just because she is tall. I knew kids that got picked on when I was in grammar school for being fat, short, having short hair, being too dark skinned, not having name brand clothes, wearing hand me downs, the list goes on. I know what it felt like to feel alone, even though I grew up with five sisters and brothers.
Ms Whitmore is an excellent writer and has done a great job telling this story. I love her style.
