We are all made of molecules by Susin Nielsen

What character(s) in this book would you most and least like to be friends with, and why?


Oh man! This is one of the best books that I've ever read!!! We are all made of molecules is a story about a girl named Ashley and a boy named Stewart who have to move in together. (Stewart's mother died, and Ashley's mom, Caroline, and Ashley's dad, Phil, divorced, and Caroline and Stewart's dad Leonard start dating. Leonard, Stewart, and their cat move into Caroline and Ashley's house.) Stewart has always wanted a sister, so he is trying to be positive, even though Ashley is snobby and calls him a freak. However, Ashley just can't except it. The only thing that they have in common is that they are both made of molecules, hence the title! This is an amazing story that alternates between the perspective of Stewart and Ashley's perspective. My favorite character is either Phoebe or Stewart- they are both so nice, even though Ashley is a jerk to both of them! My least favorite character is Jared or Ashley. Ashley is a total snob, but Jared is way worse (they had been a couple, but then something happened). Read this book to find out!
