Focused book by alyson gerber6/30/2023 Yet, you can’t help but root for Clea and all the people in her life, including her sweet little sister. Her path to acceptance is tough and she makes many mistakes in her relationship with her best friend, Red. Clea eventually finds out that she has ADHD and I loved the compassionate, but realistic way the author portrays Clea’s response. Like Laurie Morrison’s Up for Air and Genesis Begins Again, I knew I’d love this one from PAGE ONE. Her voice is unique and jumps out at you from page one. The GoodĬlea is such a well-developed character. Other worries in Clea’s life include her little sister who needs to go to speech therapy - Clea worries for her well being and happiness - and her best friend, Red whose family is having issues. It also affects her relationships because she finds it harder to control her emotions, blurting out things in the heat of the moment, even after promising she wouldn’t. The only time she can zone out is when she’s playing chess as a member of her school’s chess team.Ĭlea’s inability to focus starts affecting her grades, which threatens her chess team membership. Her thoughts are always jumping from one thing to another and she finds it hard to focus when she wants to. She’s constantly making mental to-do lists, but can’t seem to stay on top of her school work anymore. In Alyson Gerber’s sophomore novel, we meet highly motivated Clea.

So much did the iconoclastic Douglass have to share about the reality of slavery that My Bondage and My Freedom is actually his second publication. One of the most famous examples is the Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, but the most famous writer of a slave a narrative almost certainly has to be Frederick Douglas. This genre flourished from around 1760 and though the first few decades after the abolition of slavery. My Bondage and My Freedom, published in 1855, is an example of a genre of literature known as the slave narrative. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
