It’s safe to say that singer, songwriter, and author, Sarah Weeks, is always busy. She has written more than thirty picture books, children and young adult books, including; Guy Wire, As Simple as it Seems, Follow the Moon, and much more. She loves to visit schools to read from her books, sing songs, and talk to kids about writing. So. B It, her best seller is a Parents’ Choice Gold Award Winner. Will her books continue to be this good?

In her book So. B It, Heidi a twelve-year-old, living with her mentally retarded mother and agoraphobic neighbor leaves Reno, Nevada, to New York to find out who she is. She gets to find out a lot about herself and her mother in New York, but then something happens back in Nevada to make her go back home. This book is similar to some books by Barbara O’Conner, like How to Steal a Dog. Both authors write about kids aged eleven to thirteen, who have unusual lives. They are usually sad and don’t have a mom or dad in their life.

If I said So B. It isn’t a good book I would be lying. The book is full of events that you cannot predict. It’s easy enough for someone to understand, but it will make you think too. It has touching, offbeat characters. Readers will be genuinely touched. I give So B. It five stars because it is the best book I have read, and I wouldn’t change anything about it. I would recommend this book to people aged eleven and above, and to people who like realistic fiction or mystery. I hope Sarah Weeks’s writing show more continues to be this good. show less
