ALL THAT GLITTERS

By:  Nicole O’Dell

FIRST SENTENCE

“A fancy sports car on one side and a shiny, brand-new SUV on the other, Mrs. Daniels slid her car into a parking spot at the mall.”

SUMMARY

from goodreads

Drew Daniels finally has what she thought she wanted – popularity and a cute boyfriend.  But now she’s faced with choosing between pleasing her boyfriend and doing what’s right.  Tween readers make the choice in this interactive story and see how the consequences change Drew’s life.  Includes a contract and prayer to remind the reader of the importance of making godly decisions.

REVIEW

This is one very unique book because it offers TWO different endings.  Cool, huh?  Drew has a choice to make – succumb to the pressure of the popular group or stay true to herself.  I was curious, so I ended up reading both endings and it became very clear which was the right choice.

The story was very believable and realistic.  The interactions between characters were things that I think could happen in real life.  The story kept my attention and I read the entire book in one long sitting.

I wish that Drew would have been more considerate of her twin sister.  I think she learns an important lesson by the end of the story – regardless of which ending is chosen.
