Is Everything Really Everything?
Kaycee Stapleton Have you ever had one of those day where you just wanted to say at home and do practically nothing? Madeline Whittier did just that. Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, stars Madeline Whittier, a 16 year old girl. She is no ordinary girl. Madeline lives with an illness that prevents her from interacting with anything or anyone who isn’t her mom or her caretaker, but she figures out that just because she struggles with SCID it doesn’t mean she can’t live a normal teenage life. I believe it had to be one of the greatest book I’ve read so far. The author depicted the characters with great detail; you could practically picture them in your mind. I could feel each emotion Madeline was feeling. When she was mad at her mom, I was mad at my mom...I mean her mom. The author captivated me with how Madeline changed. She went from staying in the house all day, thinking that she could never leave, to not caring about what her mom says and leaves the house because she wanted an adventure with a boy. Madeline has SCID, a disease which means she is practically allergic to everything, and she has stayed in her house since around six years old. Someone new moves into the house next to her house. She soon finds out that there is a boy named Oliver, but his family called him Ollie. They would talk by writing on the window. I could picture every movement Madeline made. That’s how good the author used figurative language. Her metaphors, similes, and hyperboles drowned each and every page. I could tell that as soon as Madeline saw him, she was in love with Ollie. This book was a very good romantic story. Picture Source: “‘Everything, Everything’ by Nicola Yoon.” WHSmith Books, www.whsmith.co.uk/products/everything-everything/9780552574235.
