Remembering Raquel by Vivian Vande Velde
Available in the Swift Current Library: Yes
General Topics: Death, Family
Rating out of 5: 4 out of 5
Summary: Ever wonder how will you be remembered by your friends and school mates? Have you made enough of an impression to even be remembered? Remembering Raquel explores these questions and more. Raquel was not a popular girl. She had very few close friends and did not stick out in school by being the smartest, funniest, or dumbest in class. When she dies in a freak accident, her family, friends and classmates give you their impression of how she was viewed by them. She would be surprised at the things some of them said. I bet we all would be surprised by what people say about us.
Good Points: -Thought-provoking
- Interesting characters
-Realistic view on humans and our society
Bad Points: -Very short
Overall review: I actually really liked this book, though it could have been longer. The book made me think about the impression I'm leaving, and whether or not I really care about what others think about me. I reccomend it for deep thinkers.
