Pieces MIssing

Jessie's story, told in the book Missing Pieces, is awesome! The beginning of the book starts with Jessie's mother, Maribeth, telling a young Jessie of the child's life story. Jessie's father, James, left Jessie and her mom went she was little. Jessie now a teenager, is searching for the missing pieces in her life concerning her father. Along the way of searching, Jessie has troubles with school, friends, and her family, like all the problems any other teen has to deal with. The ending, I am not quite sure I like. It ends with an unexpected ending, that is more real life then the happy ending of most books. My favorite character was Aunt Zis. Zis was an old, forgetful women who helped Jessie with some of her problems. The author, Norma Fox Mazer, did a great job of portraying a teens struggles and problems. Missing Pieces is mainly a drama, but is romantic and sad at times. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and give it a must read for teen girls!

I recommend it for any teenager who enjoys to read.

Jessie Wells was a fourteen-year-old girl who is searching for her father who left her when she was a baby. It was very difficult for Jessie to maintain a "normal" teenage life and look for her father. I think she was a very strong girl considering what she went through and what she did to achieve her dream to find her father. She went through a lot emotionally. And in the midst of this, she meets a guy who stood by her through it all. The only problem was that the guy was her best friend's crush. Jessie and her boyfriend do end up finding her father. It wasn't the reunion she had hoped for though. There was nothing about this book that I did not like. It was an excellent story with a great meaning. If you want something bad enough, don't ever give up.

I couldn't put it down!!!!

Norma Fox Mazer is a very good author!! I really liked the theme of this book. Overall it was very nicely written!!! I wish that there was a sequel to this book!!! : )

I thought this was a very good book. It is an adventurous story. Missing Pieces is a book I will never forget.
