**__My Brother Made Me Do It__**
=By Peg Kettret=

Do you feel like you are different? If you do, try,having arthritis and a sprained ankle . But … It’s ok because Julie has the best pen pal in the whole fifth grade.
===The story is mainly about a little girl named Julie. Julie gets juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Her best friends Gabby, Keelie, and Sarah each have to do an activity this year and Julie is running for student council.=== ===I think you should read this book because of the descriptive words. It made me feel like I was in the book. Another thing I really liked about the story is the form. The form of the book is in a letter. That is what I loved about this book.===
