When Jameela Mirza is picked to be feature editor of her middle school newspaper, she’s one step closer to being an award-winning journalist like her late grandfather. The problem is her editor-in-chief keeps shooting down her article ideas. Jameela’s assigned to write about the new boy in school, who has a cool British accent but doesn’t share much, and wonders how she’ll make his story gripping enough to enter into a national media contest.

Jameela, along with her three sisters, is devastated when their father needs to take a job overseas, away from their cozy Georgia home for six months. Missing him makes Jameela determined to write an epic article—one to make her dad extra proud. But when her younger sister gets seriously ill, Jameela’s world turns upside down. And as her hunger for fame looks like it might cost her a blossoming friendship, Jameela questions what matters most, and whether she’s cut out to be a journalist at all...

4.5 (Muito bom)

Lindo, mas "Mulherzinhas" ainda é melhor.

Uma releitura atual de um dos meus clássicos favoritos, "Mulherzinhas". Não dá para comparar com com o original, mas a autora faz um bom trabalho, acrescentando personagens e alterando o rumo da história.
Um ótimo livro, delicado e sincero na medida certa. Recomendo!
