Catalyst

The book I am reading is entitled Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's about a girl named Kate, who is a straight-A student, minister's daughter, and unwilling family caretaker. In the book Kate thinks that she has everything under control but then later finds out that she doesn't. Also she is starting to get stressed out because she is still waiting to hear from the only college that she applied to, M.I.T.


I like this book so far because you can relate to it in one way or another. Especially because sometimes you think that you have everything under control and then unexpected things start to happen. Also the part about Kate waiting for her college response letter, I think that anyone who has ever applied to college knows just how stressing the wait can be.
