Kirsten's parents are barely speaking to each other, and her best friend has fallen under the spell of the school's queen bee, Brianna. It seems like only Kirsten's younger science-geek sister is on her side. Walker's goal is to survive at the new white private school his mom has sent him to because she thinks he's going to screw up like his cousin. But he's a good kid. So is his friend Matteo, though no one knows why he'll do absolutely anything that hot blond Brianna asks of him.
But all of this feels almost trivial when Kirsten and Walker discover a secret that shakes them both to the core. Fast paced, marvelously funny, and brutally honest, If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period touches on universal truths about human nature.

I read the book "If the tree falls at lunch period" for my Maud Heart Lovelace assignment.
ReplyDeleteThe book is about a girl named, Kristen.
Her parents argue constantly, making her and her sister feel neglected. Adding on to her problems, she's losing her best friend, Rory, to the most popular girl in school, Brianna.
Walk is also a big part in the story. He's in the same grade as Kristen and they go to the same school. His mom worries about him because, she wants him to not screw up like his cousin, that is why she sent him to an all white private school. He's very different from his cousin, though. His and Kristen are friends with a guy named, Matteo. He always does whatever Brianna tells him to, which make Walk and Kristen wonder why.
In the end, Kirsten finds out why her parents argue and helps Matteo with his problem.
