What is Justice? Justice is about freedom and peace, we all have to have some kind of justice. But in Handle With Care, Willow doesn't have any of that. Every time she moves there's a limb breaking in her, and it's a symptom from the disease, ostogenesis imperfecta. Can Willow do anything to prevent from breaking? No, and that's because OI is so rare, that there hasn't been a cure yet. At six Willow is barely even two feet, has to move around in a wheelchair, and is smarter than any other six year old.
Through out this book, Willow's mom is trying to sue the doctor she had when giving birth to Willow, for the money, she says to her husband, but only because I love you, Willow. I don't understand how her own mother could do that to her, and even knowing that Willow hears all the conversations concerning her, Willow wishes she were dead.
So now you see, justice for Willow is never going to be possible, no matter how careful she is. All her life, Willow watches her sister as a role model, but never could she copy her, because her sister doesn't have OI, and she doesn't break every time she moves, or jumps. Sometimes her dad watches her as she stares at Amelia, longing to have what she will never get, and he feels for her, like any other parent would.
Willow will literally never have justice, or freedom, since her mother sees it that way...

Airhead by Meg Cabot
Reading airhead was fun, and it taught me a lot of things I didn't know before about what goes on in Hollywood. Airhead's main character is Nikki Howard, or Em Watts. The story behind the two main characters is really an unrealistic one, but it's realy cool, if you ask me. Em Watts is one of those tomboys who get straight A's(or higher, if possible) in all their classes. Nikki Howard, on the other hand, is teen supermodel sensation, as they call it and there's no way that Em would go near her, not even if you pay her in the JourneyQuest games, which are her life, by the way... So her little sister Frida demands to go to the Stark grand opening, which was starring the ever so famous Nikki Howard and her partner,(Gabriel Luna, which was the only reason why Frida wanted to go in the first place.) When her mother insists that she go with her little sister, Em has no choice but to tag along.
The first thing Em sees(or hears,) was the voie of Gabriel Luna, who her sister insisted getting her autograph from him first thing, which meant they had to wait in line. Em was snarfing down the free Stark- brand food they were giving out for free while waiting in line for her sister, when suddenly, Gabe pops out of nowhere to say hi to the crowd, which was in front of her. So Em goes closer to see what's going on, when she sees Nikki with him, coming closer. While Em calls for her sister, who is wandering off, Em is now in front of Gabe's face, and next to Nikki, when some smart person decides to hit the plasma screen above their heads with a paintball, which causes the whole thing to come crashing down, killing Em and doing the same to Nikki.
When she wakes up in a coma, Em is now Nikki Howard. How? ends up Em was dead, but her brain was still functioning, and Nikki was fine, but her brain was in the worst condition for her body. Since they both got injured in the same way, Stark decided to switch the brains, Em's in Nikki's body, and Nikki's in some random person's, though there's more to that.
The message Meg was trying to give us, was definitely to be the person you are, not to be the person in your dreams, which is really important, because there are lot's of people out there who would kill themselves. Literally. Just to be that person, which is no point, because that person is probably just as original as you, yet you come in every shape and size, full of creativity, which I bet none of those people out there have, which is great, because YOU get to be YOU, and that's all a person can ever need in their lives.
