I Am the Wallpaper
By: Mark Peter Hughes
2005

A thirteen year old girl who feels invisible in comparison to her older sister is suddenly finding herself the center of attention, why? The secrets of her diary have been exposed to the pubic and now all eyes are on her. She is trying to deal with this embarrassment of being in the spotlight and finds that maybe being ordinary isn't so bad after all.
This book is a very quick read but definitely provides entertainment. It brings me back to the time when I was thirteen years old and anything bad that happened felt like my entire world was caving in. Hughes does a very good job capturing the voice of an adolescent teen during the time of great trial, for her. Though the main character, Floey, is dealing with a lot of trouble in her life during this time, she attacks it with unwavering optimism that a lot of teenagers do not have. It is a very encouraging read, telling that something may seem bad but it may not be all that bad.
