The cover caught my eye, and so that is why I requested it. This was a great story about growing up and having to learn to do things on your own. As I was reading, I realized that there are other books with these characters, it just doesn’t have the witchery involved. The descriptions were wonderful, where I could visualize without having to look at the pictures that were provided. I also liked each detail of how the main character was moving away and what was involved. The feelings and emotions were exactly how I felt when I went to college and had to live in the dorms. I could really relate to the characters.
I am going to purchase this book and use it to teach my speech and language kids about writing. No commas were used, and different fonts and sizes were used when writing this book. Everyone has their own style of writing and this book is a great example to show this.
This story also taught a lesson about getting along with others and communication. This was a good read.

Sometimes leaving one’s element and being forced to face our worst enemy helps us to see things in a different light. Moving into a boarding school is really hard. Especially when you find out that your new roommate is your old enemy from school. How in the world are you suppose to get along with them when you know they already hate you? This book does such a fun job of showing how sometimes we only know so much about a person. Sometimes meeting them on a different level and taking time to learn more about them shows you that they are not who you thought they were. In fact, you might learn that you have more in common then you ever could have believed.
