Ilustration In Favor Of Books Blackbird Fly

Future rock star, or friendless misfit? That’s no choice at all. In this debut tween novel, twelve-year-old Apple grapples with being different; with friends and backstabbers and following her dreams.

Apple has always felt a little different from her classmates. She and her mother moved to Louisiana from the Philippines when she was little, and her mother still cooks Filipino foods, makes mistakes with her English, and chastises Apple for becoming “too American.” It becomes unbearable in middle school, when the boys—the stupid, stupid boys—in Apple’s class put her name on the Dog Log, the list of the most unpopular girls in school. When Apple’s friends turn on her and everything about her life starts to seem weird and embarrassing, Apple turns to music. If she can just save enough to buy a guitar and learn to play, maybe she can change herself. It might be the music that saves her . . . or it might be her two new friends, who show how special she really is.

i fucking loved this. it's an adorable, uplifting coming age of story. and i found myself bursting into tears from time to time because the main character is a filipino girl. to finally read from the pov of someone who is like me who i can relate to 10000% on so many levels. this was a book i needed when i was growing up. this was the book i needed for so long. i cannot wait to read more from this author. i just absolutely loved this.

Read on the plane flying home from Manilaits a quick read, but totally worth it. The story provides incredible insight on whats its like growing up Filipino in America.Definitely a valuable story for younger kids to learn how to be accepting of themselves and other cultures. :)

This review is for an uncorrected proof. Also, I had typed up a better review, but technology malfunctioned and I had to write this review all over again, and I had already lost my train of thought so I'm not sure how successful this one is.When I first heard about this book, I was definitely intrigued. It references the Beatles and my favorite Beatles song for the title. And being a Filipina, I won't deny that I wanted to see what a fellow Filipina has to offer to other nationalities about our



Ah, this book! I love a good, realistic, no-holds-barred MG, and this is definitely one. The main character, Apple, struggles to fit in with her "friends" at school, and some of these scenes are so very real that they're almost hard to read. Such a great, diverse book! Highly recommended.

This was a sweet middle school book about becoming comfortable with yourself even though you are different, learning to accept others despite what the majority may say about them, and confronting the things that make you uncomfortable and sad. The 4th star is for the huge, huge Beatles influence- and because I am a George Harrison gal through and through.I felt it, I liked Apple, and I think you will too.

I LOVED this book.It was really interesting and meaningful.I should have read it already!!!
