REASONS TO BE HAPPY

REASONS TO BE HAPPY by Katrina Kittle

From the back of the book:

Reasons to be Happy:

21.  Cat purr vibrating through your skin
22.  Jumping on a trampoline in the rain
23.  Raw cookie dough
24.  Getting yourself all freaked out after a scary movie
25.  Dancing like an idiot when no one is watching

What happened to the girl who wrote those things?  I miss that girl.  She used to be bold and fun.  Now she's a big chicken loser.

How could so much change so fast?

Let's see, you could be the plain Jane daughter of two gorgeous famous people, move to a new school. have no real friends, and your mom could get sick, and, oh yeah, you could have the most embarrassing secret in the world.  Yep, that about does it.

So, the real question is, how do I get that girl back?

Narrated by Hannah, this is the story of a young teenage girl who has lost control of her life.  Things are happening around her that she doesn't like but is powerless to change.  She doesn't see herself as others see her; she has lost all confidence in herself.  But she finds one thing that she can control and it makes her feel happy.  She calls it her Secret Remedy.  Until the day that her SR takes control and Hannah's life changes.

This book tells how Hannah, with the help of her aunt and a lovely girl named Modesta, gains control of her life again and finds the girl who had been hidden inside.

Katrina Kittle has written some very good books; this is another one.
