Minn & Jake Part 2

Wong, Janet S. Minn and Jake. Illus. Genevieve Cote. New York, NY: Frances Foster Books, 2003.

This book was an awesome read. I really enjoyed the verse writing for this book as opposed to how a regular chapter book would be written. In the beginning of the book Minn says she feels very lizardy and alone and feels like she has no real friends. Once she began to become friends with Jake and let him into her world, she got over this akwardness she used to feel and became happy. She reverted back to this feeling when Jake left for the summer and once again she was all alone! In the beginning of this book Minn did not like Jake at all, but once she let him in her world her perspective changed. This book showed that even if two people are totally opposite they can still become the best of friends.
