It’s a must read that lots of teens can relate to: enemies, friends, frenemies, boys, crushes, bullies, and more!

I’m wondering now what differentiates Realistic Fiction from Contemporary. Or do are they same thing?

Anyway, thanks. And thanks for the great reviews!

If there is a sports or mystery element to the story you can characterize it that way. Realistic fiction does not necessarily mean that it is possible for everyone, but if it is possible at all that a normal human being could tell this story then it is considered to be in this genre. Great question and maybe others disagree with me, but this is how I have always understood the genre of realistic fiction.

I just have one question. Why is the genre considered realistic fiction? How realistic is this book? Most of the readers will never go to a boarding school in Switzerland or meet a prince. I would say this book sounds more like fairytale or fantasy than realistic.

Just curious about that. Who names the genre? The publisher?

Anyway, thanks. It sounds like a fun book.
