Miles From Ordinary by Aileen
Lacey is a 14 year old teenager going through a lot. Lacey's mom has mental illnesses. Her aunt left her and her mom, causing Lacey to take care of her mom but she's all alone now. How do you think Lacey will deal with her mom?
The things I learn in Miles From Ordinary was about mental illnesses. I've never thought it can be serious that you can't stay home. In my life, I don't have any connections to the book. I know someone who has delt with depression and it helped me understand Lacey's mom. In the future, if I have to care of someone with a mental illness I will take care of them and keep them calm down and protect them.
I thought the book was a good choice for middle school students. I think people have to read a book like this because I don't think people really know about mental illness. This can actually happen to someone, So it's realistic.
