Over the past week I have read Alphas by Lisi Harrison. The character that I connect most with in this book is Skye, because she loves ballet just like I love synchronized swimming and she also practices every day just like me.In this book I would like to have Skye as a friend because she seems nice and a fun person to be around. If I could jump into the book I would go meet everybody and go beg the principal to put me in the Jakie o room because there a bunch of really cool people in there.
