I want to be a nurse when i grow up. I love to go on vacations with my family.

Have you ever read a book where people don’t get along? Plus a teenage girl has everything planned before she sees her dad, but her plans never work out the way it was planned? If not, I suggest you read The Gossip File by Anna Staniszewski.

Ava, a hard working girl, wanted to spend more time with her dad. But her stepmom kept pulling Ava away from him. So she got exasperated and called her real mom. Then she stopped working. The most exciting part of this book is in the beginning when Ava got off the plane she ran up to her dad with a smile and excited to see her dad. When Ava’s stepmom told Ava about marrying her dad, she freaked out. Ava wasn’t really happy with that idea.

​This book teaches readers Don’t always think your plans will always work. If you do, what you don’t expect will happen. In my opinion I think the book is awesome. It’s really detailed in a way that I like. When Ava went to the bathroom because she didn’t feel so well, they started describing her when she started throwing up and fainted then hit her head. Ava started to bleed. So wouldn’t you love to hear about a book called the Secret File? It’s something Ava is trying to find out!! Mystery readers sure would want to find out. That’s why I think mystery and realistic fiction readers should read this type of book!!
