Fly On the Wall in the Locker Room

By: Alli D.

                The book Fly on the Wall is a book a teenage girl would enjoy. The book is about a girl who attends Manhattan School for art and music. The main character Gretchen is very quiet and isn't the most popular girl in the school and doesn't like socializing, she is very self-conscious about what people think about her. Gretchen has one real friend at her school named Kayla, and it's the only person she tells everything too. She has a crush on a boy named Titus but she doesn't want to tell him.  Gretchen wishes she could be a fly on the wall in the boy's locker room and listen to what the boys have to say when they think that no girls are listening. Gretchen got her wish one day and got to be a fly on the wall in the boy's locker room. She learns a lot about them, things she never would have imagined. Being a fly on the wall gave her a new perspective on life.

                I would recommend this book for teenage girls. I think that all teenage girls can relate to wanting to know what boys have to say when they aren't around everyone. This book would be good for someone who isn't very confident because it can teach you that everyone has something going on that not everyone knows about. I really liked this book and really liked the main character Gretchen. I would definitely recommend reading this book!
