Window or Mirror? Starfish by Lisa Fipps

A window book is a book that is unlike your life. You are looking through the window at it. A mirror book is a book that is similar to your life. The story is reflecting back at you.

I just finished reading Starfish by Lisa Fipps. I chose this book because it is realistic fiction, which is my favorite, and also because she is afraid to express herself. I like learning from my books, and this book is great if you need to learn how to stand up for yourself. Starfish is both a window and a mirror because there are some things that vary greatly from my life, like being bullied, but there are many things that are the same, like being a middle school girl. I almost always chose mirror books. I’m not really into fiction because it is harder to relate. I sort of know the story line in realistic fiction, and that makes it more relatable to other stories and real life. I really recommend reading Starfish if you haven’t already.
