Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Sing Me to Sleep
THE TRANSFORMATION Beth has always been "The Beast", that's what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and thick glasses. Beth's only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she's selected to be her choir's soprano soloist, and receives the makeover that will change her life forever. THE LOVE AFFAIR When Beth's choir travels to Switzerland, she meets Derek: pale, brooding, totally dreamy. Derek's untethered passion, for music, and for Beth, leaves her breathless. Because in Derek's eyes? She's not The Beast, she's The Beauty. THE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE When Beth comes home, Scott, her best friend in the world, makes a confession that leaves her completely torn. Should she stand by sweet, steady Scott or follow the dangerous, intense new feelings she has for Derek? THE HEARTBREAK The closer Beth gets to Derek, the further away he seems. Then Beth discovers that Derek's been hiding a dark secret from her that could shatter everything.Itemize Of Books Sing Me to Sleep

I had really mixed feelings about this book. The story, I liked. Really liked. The start was a bit clunky with the 'transformation' and everything, but after it really got into the story, I was happy. Obviously the ending was heartbreaking. I didn't cry, but it was pretty sad.The part I didn't like was the characters. Not all of them, most were okay, just the main ones, the ones who totally make the book, that's all. I actually liked Derrick for most of it, not just because of the end, because II know so many people who have read this seem to have LOVED it, but by the end of it all I felt was...confused. There's so much focus on how ugly Beth is at the beginning of the book (like, she SCARES KIDS AT THE LIBRARY ugly--huh???). Really she's just tall and has frizzy hair and acne and giant thick glasses, but people at school treat her like she's some kind of monster freak. Except for her best friend Scott, who is completely in love with her, but since she knows she's a "beast" she doesn't
First off I would like to say that there is one thing I don't like to do and that is CRY! I really hate sappy love stories that end up making your cry at the end of the book. This is why I have never read a Nicholas Sparks book. Though I didn't actually cry I almost did and that is just as bad..lol So I have a warning for those who are like me. It is a very heart warming story though, I must give it that. :)Warning!! This book will probably make you cry!I am a sucker for Beauty and the Beast
I can't begin to say how much I LOVED THIS BOOK! It surpassed my expectations and is definetly one of the best love stories I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I felt everything Beth and Derek were feeling for each other.Though she lived her life on the sidelines, Beth suddenly found herself thrust into the spotlight when she is chosen to be the new soloist for her all girls choir. With her beautiful voice leading the way, Beth's group wins a spot to compete in the 'Choral Olympics' to be held
I really wanted to like this book. Having been in a choir myself, I hoped I could identify with Beth and her experiences in choir. This, however was not the case. Angela Morrison's writing was very pleasant, I'll give her that. Everything else, however, fell a little short.Beth is described as ugly. She has horrible acne scars, big bushy hair, and she's so tall that she towers over all the guys at her school. However, she conveniently has a gorgeous singing voice which makes her the star of her
Sing me to sleep is about a 17 year old girl called Beth. Beth's life is kinda really lonely and miserable because every one is either scared or disgusted of her. She's been called ugly her whole life. In school they call her beast and bully her constantly. In the library ( where she works at summer) the little kids are scared of her. Her only friend is Scott ( a boy she have been best friends with since 3rd grade). Then one day she goes to choir and surprisingly volunteers to be the soloist for
