The Possibility of Fireflies By:Dominuqe Paul


This book was amazing from cover to cover. It is a quick read, i read it in about 3 days. This book is about a 9th grade girl whose parent's recently got a divorce. Since their dad left Ellie's sister Gwen's personality has flip flopped. She does drugs, smokes and hangs with the wrong crowds. Another reason for that would be that their mom is "taking a vacation from parenting", she parties all night and often Ellie and Gwen are left out of the house.

Ellie is desperate to get away fro mher mother. In the end after Gwen's been almost killed by their mother, Gwen runs away to New York. A couple hours later Ellie sets off for her Dad's house hoping he will want her there. When she gets there her Dad starts crying for her mother stopped him from seeing her and Gwen about 2 or 3 years ago. This book was not what i expected, but it was amazing anway.

I agree with Jazzy. The conflicts of the two books sound similar. i like reading about books with teen issues so im gonna check this book out.
