// The Homeschool Liberation League // teaches a lesson about following your own heart. I really liked this book because the author had very good organization. The order the details and problems were amazing! The order didn’t skip from one subject to another. I also really liked how the chapters kept me hanging until the end. When I found out Katya was keeping a big secret, the beginning of the next chapter I found out what the big secret was. I just had to keep reading. It was addicting! I also loved the action. When Katya’s parents were in a fight with Mr. W, it was very exciting. Also, when Katya saw her ex-friend, she was trying to avoid him the whole night, but eventually ran into him. They talked, danced , and had a lot of fun. Katya learned a very important life lesson. Katya learned that if she kicks friends and family out of her life, that’s her loss. I highly recommend reading //The Homeschool Liberation League.//
