Excellent story for girls

I would start from where I have finished last week ,that "the it girl" has no thing to teach our young adults. And those who said that the readers who start reading this Gossip series they would go and read better or more valuable books. I may agree with them in one thing that these readers are smart enough to recognize that the gossip girl series is using the same commercial theme "sex" in the same way in all its booksd with little change. The readers feel that there is a repetition of the themes and language. So they get board or familiar with mode of the story, therefore they may start to look for something else that worth reading; the books that really help them in their complex lives. They may try to find "realistic" characters to identify with. They will be looking for caring, mean, funny, angry, kind, and cruel realistic characters like those in Chanda's Secrets novel.
The literary and artistic quality of "Chanda's Secrets" made me feel much better after I have read "the It girl" novel. When I read the it girl I was very sad that such meaningless issues are written for our youngsters. Sex was presented as fun game with no meaning or value which mislead young adults to form strong relationships in their lives. On the other hand, Chanda shows Young adults how to be aware of the risks of AIDS. How to be responsible for their family members,friends and neighbors. This story talks about poor people in Africa who have been for so long ignored in literature. I was emotionally so engaged with this real story. I would say that no-one can read Chanda's Secrets and remain untouched by the young people who are caught in the AIDS pandemic and still battling to make sense of their lives. I highly recommend reading this book in your classrooms.
