Summary

Ella is fourteen years old, and she keeps her 'Good Sense Guide' - a journal of how to survive daily life - with her at all times. This makes her a fountain of excellent knowledge and advice. Ella is more than happy to help her nearest and dearest and enjoys looking out for everyone else. Rules such as “Treat others as you would like them to treat you," or "just because you feel something now doesn't mean you will feel this way forever," keep Ella and her friends thinking straight and feeling positive.

Ella Mental and The Good Sense Guide Summary

Ella Mental and The Good Sense Guide by Amber Deckers

However, when she starts to fight with her best friend Toby, her ‘Good Sense Guide’ doesn't seem to contain the right advice. When other problems begin to arise, like her friend Frannie becoming depressed and her friend Pearl making terrible romantic decisions, she starts to wonder whether the answers to everything can be written down and found in a book.
This story is quite different from your usual teen fiction and covers some intensely painful and important topics such as bullying and racism, which teenagers must learn to navigate, and is full of wisdom and important lessons that other teen novels may avoid.
You should read this book if…
  • You are searching for an insightful novel full of useful life lessons for young people
  • You enjoy compelling, humorous stories written from a unique perspective
  • You are looking for an exciting read for a teenager that examines real-life scenarios and offers wisdom in an engaging way
