When Alyssa's baby sister dies her life changes forever. Her mom is so depressed from the death of her daughter, that her husband tries to make everything right by moving the family away. The dad moves into a separate apartmemt. Alyssa renames herself, Blister and becomes a new person with a new wardrobe (stolen from her dad's girlfriend), which no one can ignore. Look out Bixley Elementary, Blister is coming your way!

I really enjoyed Blister - the plot will keep you hooked and the author's descriptions are amazing! I think any girl would like this book, because it shows how someone who is bad can turn their life around. If your looking for a "page turner," read Blister!

Alyssa Reed is ten years old, and was living an ordinary life.  She had a mother and a father, she lived on a farm, went to a good school, and had plenty of friends.  She also had a baby sister coming.  But when the baby is 'born dead' her parents are devastated. Soon her father decides to move the family to a small apartment and then he just leaves.  Alyssa gets tired of not being able to take part in any of the family decisions, and renames herself Blister.  Blister is sassy, spunky, and very mischievous.  To find out where Blister's father is, and what everyone thinks of the new Alyssa, read the book to find out!
