A review by ljrinaldi
Welcome to 4b by Brynn Kelly
3.0
I commend the author and publisher for their efforts to have a book that is accessible for readers who are not reading at their grade level, but want to read something that will relate to them.
The problem is, it makes so of the dialogue and thoughts of the characters a little wooden, to my ears. The story itself is good, about a Mila, who has had to move in with her aunt because her mother is in rehab, acts out, and is sent to 4B, where the other "bad kids" are.
The good things about the book, is that it shows that "bad kids" are really not all that bad, that they are just going through hard times, so there is a certain sympathy with them.
