By Margie Palatini & LeUyen Pham
Isabella for Real by Margie Palatini & LeUyen Pham digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When Isabella Antonelli becomes an overnight YouTube sensation in a documentary detailing her REAL, non-royal Italian American family, she needs to figure out a way to tell everyone at her fancy new school the truth about her family—or come up with some better lies.     Brimming with offbeat humor, Isabella for Real sets the scene for an eccentric, multi-generational family drama that will have readers laughing out loud and giving Isabella’s performance a standing ovation.

“I wanted to like it, but the writing was all over the place and choppy. Sometimes I couldn't understand what was going on. Isabella's Italian family was cute but more of a caricature and not that funny. Give it a try if you like middle grade humor, maybe you will think differently.”
“Want to see more bookish things from me? Check out my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCferU-BCL2dlFjWdD0rS75Q/videos *I recieved this book from a goodreads giveaway in exchange for my honest review* 1.5 Stars Isabella Antonelli is caught in a big lie. The friends at her new school believe she is the daughter of a countess. When the truth about her real identity comes out after her cousin posts videos of her real self on Youtube, Isabella needs to figure out how she is going to come clean about her lies to her new friends. The book is very fast paced and easily read in one sitting. I liked the inclusion of the comic strips and the story was funny at times. I felt the story was a bit boring and nothing really happened in it. There was a good message in the end, but this will not be a memorable book for me.”
