Have you ever been to the Olympic trials or an actual Olympic event? If you read Tumbling by Caela Carter you’ll feel like you have a front row seat to the gymnastics Olympic trials. This book takes place in Baltimore, Maryland. You’ll focus on the antagonists Grace Cooper, Monica Chase, Wilhelmina Parker, Camille Abrahams, and Leigh Becker who are competing to go to the olympics. At the same time the girls could be the protagonists towards each other. They get competitive so they won’t be nice to each other. The girls also have their coaches being protagonists too. Some coaches are fine to their athletes but for Grace it’s a whole different story. Her coach is her dad so he thinks he’s being supportive but he’s actually dragging Grace down. The first conflict the characters are facing is their friendship. Their competitiveness is so strong they could enter the trials as friends but leave as enemies. The second conflict their facing is that they really need to push themselves hard to make it to the Olympics in Rome. The turning point in the story is when the Team USA gymnastics coach Katja Minkovski and the Olympic selection committee make their decision on who will go to the Olympics. Only 5 girls will leave as future Olympians 3 will be alternates and 4 will walk away with nothing but the experience of being at the Olympic trials. I would recommend this book to any girl who is in 7th grade through high school. I would also recommend this book to a reader who likes realistic fiction and gymnastics. WARNING: Vulgar language for any younger readers.

Have you ever wanted life to be like it was a couple years ago? Lucy did from My life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald. This book takes place in Lucy’s family’s pharmacy and at Lucy’s school in modern days. The protagonist in this book is Lucy because even though she is only 12 she tries to fix all of the problems that are going on with her family’s pharmacy and her life. The antagonist in this book is Lucy’s family’s pharmacy because nobody shops at her pharmacy anymore and it might have to get shut down because there is almost no business anymore. One conflict in this story is that there is not a lot of business at the pharmacy anymore. Another conflict in this story is that Lucy’s mom and grandma don't have a lot of money so they might have to sell the pharmacy and get another job. The turning point is in the middle to the end of the book. Lucy finds something that could help her pharmacy and everything starts to go better for Lucy. I liked this book and I recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books and people who like girly books.

This movie is a funny but full of emotions, if you know what i'm saying. The different emotions are Fear, Disgust, Anger, Sadness and Joy. There is a character called Bing Bong and he becomes a main character towards the middle to end of the story and he is Riley's imaginary friend. Riley moves away to San Fransisco and misses her best friend which already made new friends with the new girl on her ice hockey team. Riley expireneses all of the different emotions. Joy and Sadness gets lost were all of memories are kept and while joy is missing Riley can't be happy because she's not at headquarters. Iloved this movie and i still watch it sometimes and enjoy it I recommend it for long car rides or even family movie nights.
