We Are All Made of Molecules Book Review by Arnav

We Are All Made of Molecules; by Susin Nielsen is a realistic fiction novel times at teenagers and teaches them that they should always be vigilant about what their doing with their life.

      

       There are two main characters in the story, Stewart and Ashley. Stewart’s mother dies before the start of the story and he and his dad cannot get over it. Ashley’s dad divorces her mom because he realizes he’s gay. Stewart’s dad, Paul, starts dating Ashley’s mom, Caroline and Stewart and Paul move in with them. Stewart is gifted but has no social mind. Ashley, on the other hand is popular, but has horrible grades. What happens when Stewart starts ruining Ashley’s popularity, and maybe her love life too?

      

       The conflict/central idea is between Stewart, Ashley and family against people who can hurt, physically, mentally, and online. People like Jared who are known troublemakers that can make future careers and general life of others horrible. Jared almost managed something like that but Stewart saved him. We Are All Made of Molecules manages to create a great conflict which isn't solved because it may happen again, just delayed until we finally stop it.

         I think We Are All Made of Molecules is a great book, but for mature readers and it recreates a real life conflict that could occur to anyone. The conflict is very well written with some great characters and characteristics added to it. The author’s purpose of writing this book has been fully achieved, and I, personally, think it was a great book. People should be warned about what can happen and how we can stop the conflict piece by piece. Overall, We Are All Made of Molecules was a great book, with lively conflicts, cool characters, great purpose and a enjoyable, fun, storyline.
