I am currently reading the Pretty Little Liars series. I am on book 13 of 13. I really enjoy this book series. In this post I am going to talk about theme, but first heres a summary. In the beginning of the series you find out that Ali, 4 girls best friend, was murdered. When they are at her funeral they get all get the same next from A, who they instantly think is Ali, but she was murdered so I didnt make sense. As the series goes on, they get more and more texts and are now trying to find out who is A. I havent found out who it is yet, but I have a few guesses. I think the theme of Pretty Little Liars is strength in numbers. I think this is the theme because when the girls are going through the strange texts and basically bulling, they stick together and try to figure it out together. They always think about the group and not just their needs. I fi were in this situation, I would want to have friends by my side, who were going through this situation, because they would understand and know what to do.

Book Recommendation
I would recommend Pretty Little Lairs, Crushed to mostly girls around our age. This book is a drama but also has romance in it. I haven't finished crushed, but it is the 13th book in the series and I am still really enjoying them. If you haven't read the books they are about 4 girls whos best friend was murdered about 4 years ago and it still haunts them to this day. They can never have normal lives anymore, because a mysterious person, A tortures them through text, and real life. I feel like some people could relate to this book because the girls are being bullied and people all over the world are being bullied right now. I would highly recommend this book if you haven't yet started the series.

Characters
Throughout these 13 book so far, the characters have developed a lot! One character who became very dynamic is Emily. In the beginning of the series she is very shy, reserved, timid and takes their friend, Ali's, death very hard and is sad. When A starts to text them, and basically threaten them, Emily is very scared and wants to tell her parents. Once she finds out that the other girls are gertting them too, they try to stick together and support each other. Now Emily isn's very shy anymore and wants to take A down. She has become confident and no longer is scared as to what might happen. She is more mad that A is relentless and wont leave them alone. . The other characeters are also dynamic becasue Spencer is very confident in the beginning and not scared, which is the total opposite of Emily. But now Spencer is scared, because she knows what A can do and how she can hurt them.This advances the theme, which is strenght in numbers becasue when Emily is scared, her friends stand by her and help her become confident.

Chapter Summary
In the past few chapters, a lot has happened. Last year when Aria was in Europe on a ski trip, he and this guy Olaf stole the very famous Starry night painting by Vincent Van Gogh. Aria then sees a new paper saying that he has died and it might be connected to the painting. She then finds this painting in her closet and doesn't know what to do. She is also voted head of homecoming committee and the theme is Starry Night, and this makes Aria go pale. It turns out Noel had put her in the running.
Reading Skills
In Pretty Little Liars, Crushed, I think that A will be someone close to them. An example of someone close to them who could be A is Noel Arias boyfriend. Spencer and the other girls are think that Noel could be a suspect, but Aria doesn't want to think about that. She gets mad at the girl for even thinking that. I wonder if A really is one of the girls boyfriends?? A text to world connection that I can make is cyber bullying. Cyber bullying happens all the time around the world through social media sites, and texts messages. I hope that A really isn't one of the girls boyfriends or close friends because that I think that they are goo with each other, but then again Spencers' boyfriend, Toby helped A to protect the girls.

In this post I want to talk about the characters developing. The characters develop through this series because when they first gets these strange texts, apparently coming from their dead best friend they freak out and become scared just like how any normal person would react. But as the story goes on, they learn to ignore the texts, and become stronger and less afraid of who is doing this. They start to help each other and band together against "A".
