Me lissa wants to do something spectacular. But everything she try doesn't seem to work out. But one day, she discovers that she can do something special with her hair. The genre of the book is is realistic fiction and I recommend it because it shows kindness and you don't have to be beautiful because of your appearance, you can be beautiful about what you do for others.
