We are all Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen

This book is from the perspectives of 2 people, a 14 year old girl named Ashley and a 13 year old boy named Stewart. Ashley was pretty much the most popular girl in school, and out of school she didn't really like her life. Her mom and dad were divorced, and even though Ashley lives with her mom, her dad visits sometimes because her mom and dad are friends. Ashley has a big secret she is hiding from all her friends, knowing it will effect how popular she is. Her life is 'ok' until Stewart and his dad move in. Ashley's mom and Stewarts dad were planning on getting married, so they decided to live together. Stewart is considered a genius and is so smart he starts to go to Ashley's high school, which Ashley doesn't like. Because Ashley is so popular, she is pretty mean too, which effects Stewart a lot. Many different events occur throughout the book, but I don't want to give them away. This was a really good book, so I highly recommend it. It covers some mature topics though, and a little bit of language, but I think that it wasn't too bad. This was a really quick read even though it is around 256 pages. This is a realistic fiction book.

I think for genres for book groups it would be cool to have realistic fiction books.
