Kendra was a very good book. It showed the heartbreakingly realist things that teens go through. The book also showed teens that some mistake’s you make in your life don’t just affect you they affect the people around you. For example in the book Kendra’s mother Renee was only fourteen when she had Kendra, Renne left Kendra with her mother an went on with her life, and when Kendra turned fourteen her Nana thought she was going to be just like her mother then Kendra starts to get in trouble an this just go down hill from there. This book also went to show it doesn’t matter where you come from an what kind of life you live you can still be a good person.
