Book Review…The Take-Over Friend by Carol Dines On the second day of ninth grade, introverted Frances meets Sonja, a wildly funny newcomer from France, and the girls form a fast friendship. Frances adores Sonja’s worldliness, and Sonja adores Frances’s family, especially her older brother, Will. Frances and Sonja immediately declare themselves “The Poets” and rally their homeroom to enter the homecoming parade with a poetry-mobile built from Frances’s father’s old band bus. But respective family crises begin to escalate, and tensions come to a head when Sonja temporarily moves in with Frances's family forcing each friend to decide how close is too close. The Take-Over Friend is a book about the struggles we all faced at one point in time in high school, making friends and when to draw the line.I found all of the characters in this book to be interesting and stand out for one reason or another. I really enjoyed Frances coming into her own. It touches on some darker subjects but it's handled well. It's a well written story with an interesting ending!
