Blended is a book about an eleven-year-old girl named Isabella, who is biracial. Because her parents are divorced, she has to switch houses, nicknames, backpacks, and identities every week. Not only does Isabella have to experience her parents fighting, but she is also bullied at school because of her race.

Isabella loves to play the piano. She soon realizes that she is kind of like a piano. When the black and white keys mix together, they make a beautiful harmony.

I would give Blended 5 stars because of its very special meaning. It encourages readers not to bully people for how they look. There are also many unexpected plot twists that make the book so interesting. I would definitely recommend it.
