Where You Belong

Where you Belong was a good book. It?s about a girl named Fiona. Her parents have problems. One night while staying at her father?s house, he comes home drunk. Fiona runs away scared that her Father will hurt her. She ends up on a park bench wondering what to do, where is she suppose to go, where does she belong? After a while she gets up to leave when she meets an old friend, Yolanda. They go on adventures like any other friends would, but there is a problem, Fiona is white and Yolanda is not. When this threatens their friendship Fiona has to figure out how to help Yolanda through hard times. I would give this book four stars. It?s a great book. It starts out slow but picks up as the story goes on. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read and on friendship.

This is a moving story for young people - sensitively and powerfully bringing the hard subjects of race, alcoholism, and poverty into a redemptive narrative.
