Keep Holding On

I wasnt expecting much when i first bought this book. I mean i thought it would be a great book. Turns out it was that and then some. I could not put this down! Ah it was just so good. I really like the ending, too! I really hated the mom and her changing was awesome. Sometimes when I read a book and its so true to life I can picture it happening at my school. Great read, everyone should read this book.

Such a strong and empowering little book. Keep Holding On is a story that was written from the heart and should be on ever tween and teen's mandatory to-be-read pile!

Keep Holding On is about Noelle, a teen who is being neglected by her mother and bullied at school in addition to going through the normal ups and downs of a regular teen -
self doubt, insecurities and pride.
She doubts that she is able to stop the things that continue to happen to her.
Without any encouragement from anyone in her life, she has no idea as to what she is capable of.
Noelle also doesn't like to take charity from anyone when she feels that it wouldn't be necessary if things in her life were normal aka her mother would step up and make the right choices.
She doesn't allow herself to hope that she is worthy of more.
Until something happens to one of her fellow classmates that forces her to question herself and finally realize that she is more than capable of taking matters into her own hands.

Keep Holding On is encouraging and reminds all of us, no matter the age, that we are not alone and that we should always hold on, no matter what.

A story great story about bullying and the consequences that can result from bullying in high school. This story is pretty emotional and really touched a nerve. Noelle has a pretty rough go of it and is hanging on by a thread.
