Summary: More Than Meets the Eye
Review: More Than Meets the Eye is a book based on loyalty, bravery, and teamwork. It is wonderfully written, with an eye-catching plot. This book shows that everyone, no matter what race or background, can work together to change the world. 

The story is about a girl named Liz. She is in love with a boy named Ben who is Chinese-American. An American named Brad has a crush on her, but he is very prejudiced. He is angry that Liz could have a crush on someone who is not "her own kind." I think that this is stupid for three reasons. The first one is everyone is that everyone is the same no matter what they look like. The second is whatever goes around comes around, and the third is if he wants her to like him, he shouldn't insult her about who she likes. She and Ben are neck to neck at being number one in the class. The parents aren't too happy about that. Liz's parents stress for her to be the best in the class. One day, a refuge from Cambodia, named Dary Sing joins Liz's class. She lives with her aunt, uncle and cousins. Liz is trying to teach her English. This is very kind of Liz. As Liz learns more and more about Dary's background, she is more determined to fight for the right thing. Liz's life is drifting away, and the people who are very close seem far away. She wonders why the good things that she does make her feel angry. Many people in her community are prejudice, and Liz wants to stop it. That is a very smart idea, ingredients my opinion. Who is right? Should she be prejudiced, or fight it? I think that she should fight prejudice.  

I recommend the book to everyone. This book was a little sad, but a lot of it was like a normal teenager's life, helping people, feelings of being alone, stress... Many parts of this book show large amounts of bravery, and fighting for what is right. This is a wonderful book to read at anytime.

Summary: Teenage Girl Living in a Prejudice World
Review: The story line has a prejudice plot, with the story starting to sound like a mushy romance, but of course, no story is complete without one. When all is well, some Asian comes, Dary Sing, and that is mainly when the prejudice starts. Brad, a big jock, has a crush on Liz, the main character, but Liz loves Been Lee, a natural born United States citizen with a Chinese heritage. So you can see the love circle problem here right? Liz, though, helps Dary try to fit in and with her English, but only Dary, Mrs. Dahm (Dary's aunt) and the teachers cares. But it seems that when she is with Dary Ben avoids her. But even for ben to see Liz he has to lie to his parents. Will ben ever face up tp his parents? Will Brad ever stop being prejudice? Will Dary unravel her horrific past of Cambodia? Read More Than Meets The Eye.
Ok, this book was ok, not bad really. Although it did get boring in some spots but the rest was ok. This book would be great for all readers.

Summary: More Than Meets the Eye
Review: This book was about a Cambodian girl that must more to America because her parents have died. She needs some help because she can't speak English at all. Liz is assigned to help Dary find her way around school. Liz finds herself spending more and more time helping Dary and less and less time hanging out with her friends. Liz doesn't know what to do and how to help Dary, but at the same time hang out and enjoy her life with her friends.
I really liked this book because it taught me that everyone has different things to offer. People shouldn't judge people by physical appearance but what he or she has to offer on the inside.
This book, I think, is not like any other book I have ever read. It has many different types of people and shows how it might be hard for someone who speaks a different language to come to America and have to speak English.
