Viola in Reel Life by Adriana Trigiana

I quite like this book, although I found it was lacking emotion a bit and went on about stuff for way to long. It is about a girl called Viola, who likes filming with her video camera, that is sent to boarding school whilst her mum and dad work over in Afghanistan shooting a documentary. At first she doesn't think she is going to enjoy, and sometimes finds herself crying herself to sleep, but as the weeks go on she learns to put down her camera and take a look at her life through her own eyes and not the camera lense. A fun, lighthearted read, this is a good book for 10-12 year olds.

You can buy it here and learn more about the author here.

I would give this book 2/5.
