Love, Ish

Love, Ish follows the story of spunky red-head Mischa Love, a twelve-year-old girl living in Lake Ochoa, California. But she’s not like the other girls in her grade. They are always laughing and touching their hair. Those girls can wear the bright pink clothes that Mischa’s mother loves. Those girls always picture red-heads wearing green, but Mischa has big dreams. She’s going to be one of the first settlers on Mars. Mars is the only option, now that humans have ruined the earth. Mischa is already training herself so that in ten years she’ll be ready. She’s already applied to Mars Now! over forty times. No one believes her, but who cares? Then, on her first day of seventh grade, she is diagnosed with cancer, threatening everything she’s ever known. Mischa draws the reader in with her relatable mixed feelings and unique view on life. Karen Rivers, author of The Girl in the Well is Me and many others, has created a book that you truly can’t put down. Love, Ish is a story of a young girl’s dreams, life, and struggles; but it’s also a reminder that the Earth is at our mercy. So quit staring at your screen and go be inspired by Love, Ish!
