Its Not the End of the World

It’s Not the End of the World

By: Judy Blume

        Karen Newman’s world is turning upside down because of a little word, divorce. Her parents aren’t getting along the best, all they do is fight and they think that a divorce will solve all of the answers. “NO! DOVORCE IS NOT THE ANSWER,” is the only thing Karen thinks of.

          Not only has her world turned around but so has her other siblings too, her older brother is always locked in his room and is really ornery, and quiet. Her little sister is just a big mess! She is always whining of crying and that doesn’t help the tension at all! Now she can’t even bring herself to talk to her best friend about this big problem, she is just. . . Alone.

          “If only I could get them in a room together, then they could talk and make up.” Karen believes that this will settle things, but it makes it worse, like I said all they do is fight. Now that things are out of her hands, she can only deal with the things that will happen in the future, which she doesn’t know if they will be good or bad. I would recomend this book to anyone who has a heart for a little girl's problems. And I would recomend this book to anyteenager girl (age 12 and up.)
