Corey Perssons’ Book Review
Me & Emma
By: Elizabeth Flock

The book, Me & Emma is written by Elizabeth Flock and is a fiction book. The story is told by a little girl named Carrie, and her life, living with her mom, step-dad, and little sister. The overall theme of this book is, no matter how bad things get, there are still ways to deal with them. Carrie in this book has a pretty hard life. Her dad died when she was only little, and her step-dad is an abusive alcoholic. She also isn’t good at school and her mom doesn’t really pay attention to her. In affect Carrie and Emma become very close because they only really have each other. In the book Carrie and Emma come across different problems and figure out different ways to handle them. Carrie and Emma seem to come across many different problems that they figure different ways to handle them.
This book is very interesting and memorable. It is very memorable to hear a story from a little girls point of view and her thoughts and actions. The actions that the step-father takes makes the story very suspenseful and interesting. Also, in the book there are a lot of conflicts against Carrie. In school she doesn’t really fit in. This is a very real for some kids. She also had lost a parent previously in the book which was very sad and hard for her to handle. Lastly, she has an abusive step-father which is also very realistic. For me this was a really inspiring book. I thought it was very inspiring to hear how bad Carrie’s life was and she tried her best to fight back, hang in there and make it better. I can now see the struggle some people have when a parent dies or they get a step-father that is not very nice. Carrie works hard when things aren’t going her way and I think I can relate to that.
Overall I think this was a great book. It was interesting, memorable, and inspiring. It is a good book for both boys and girls because it is a very interesting book. I recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and fun read.
