Final Reflection
1) I learned that you should always try different things.
2) I learned that you should be different, and standout
3) I learned that if you are unnoticed and hated, that you shouldn't change, no matter how much you want too.
What was the best part of this novel? Focus on a particular chapter, scene, or interaction between characters. Explain completely.
My favorite part of the book was when Floey decided to change. This was my favorite part because the book showed how she went from being a nobody, hated and unnoticed, to a whole new, improved "famous" person, who everyone starts to notice and like.
