Extra Credit

  Extra Credit by Andrew Clements, is about a girl named Abby, who is doing so poorly in school that she is threatened to be held back. Her only solution is to get A's on all of her tests and extra credit. Abby's extra credit is to write letters back and forth with a pen pal from somewhere around the world. Because of her love of climbing rock walls, Abby chooses the mountainous area of Kabul, Afghanistan. She also has to make a bulletin board with all of her letters, Abby is perfectly fine with showing her letters to the public; she doesn't need to keep her letters private. The project starts with a few friendly letters back and forth but when Abby receives one letter, she rethinks her whole privacy policy.
     I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction and anyone who has an open mind. I liked this book; it was the kind of book I didn't want to put down.
