Being Sixteen

by Allyson Braithwaite Condie
Review by Chaya Pattison, grade 11

This book is about a girl who was excited about turning 16.  She expected that her 16th year would be the best year of her life up until that point.  She was wrong.  She spent most of her year watching out for her little sister who had an eating disorder.  It was the year she played on the varsity team in her favourite sport, basketball.  It was the year she made a new friend.  It was her year of change.  It was also the year she almost lost her best friend.
Read the book to find out what challenges she went through and what she accomplished.  Read to find out how Juliet survived being 16.
I would recommend this book because it teaches you about the struggles people go through when they have an eating disorder.  It is also a good story.
