In September, I read Join the Club, Maggie Diaz by Nina Moreno. Join the Club, Maggie Diaz is a fiction book about a teenage girl named Maggie Diaz and her wanting to join a club in middle school. She wants to do this because her best friends are busy with their clubs, so Maggie wants something special to her too. What I loved about the book was that she is finding out who she is without her friends and trying new things.
My favorite character is Maggie Diaz because she is hard working. I know this because in the story she says “I plan on not only paying attention, but on raising my hand and participating, taking notes in a readable handwriting, and getting way better grades that will prove to my mom how responsible and capable I am now.” This shows that she is hard working because she is saying how she will accomplish her goals and be successful.
My favorite quote from the book is on page 62, “‘…Seventh grade is all about figuring out who we are.’” This is my favorite quote because it is relatable and is talking about how middle school is where we figure out who we are and what we want to be in the future.
