Diary of a Teenage Girl: It's a Green Thing By: Melody Carlson

It's a green thing is the second novel by Melody Carlson of her Diary of a teenage girl series written by Maya. This book is written from the aspect of Maya, and is her diary. Within the book are her thoughts on life and her ups and downs just like any teenager has. With Maya's mother locked up in jail for drug addiction Maya has the opportunity to live with her uncle and her cousin, and learn what it is like to have a normal family for once. Maya's father is making a comeback as a singer, so her lack of parental figures is an issue Maya deals with. Chapter by chapter this book goes through the ups and downs of being a teen who for the first time is going to high school, living with a family, and expressing herself through her green actions. This novel is a super quick read, and I fell in love with the character Maya, because she's not a normal teenager, and her take on the world, and going green is different. Something I really enjoyed was at the end of each chapter Maya has a green tip of the day that is a fact about going green, or helping with the green thing. Reading this diary of Maya, is like a roller coaster, and is relatable to our lives because most of us don't know what's coming next. I suggest this novel if you like anything about going green, a diary of a teenage girl, or more than just an average story. I assure you, you will not be let down.
