Ballet Shoes (The Shoe Books)

Ballet Shoes (The Shoe Books)

By Noel Streatfeild

This story is about 3 girls, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy, who have to go into show business in order to get money for their guardian. Sylvia, their guardian,'s Great Uncle Mathew, also known as GUM, loved collecting fossils until he hurt his foot so badly that it had to be cut off. Then, he found three children at three different times and Sylvia named them Pauline, Petrova, and Posy. But on a voyage to some islands, Gum disappeared, and the money he left Sylvia is getting smaller. So Sylvia has to take the children out of school and rent the house to boarders. One of the boarders is called Miss Theo, and she's a teacher at the Academy of Dancing. She tells Sylvia that the children can go have classes at the Academy, and when they're twelve, they can earn money! Pauline loves acting at the Academy, Petrova doesn't like it very much, and Posy loves dancing. (Her mother was a dancer who left her a pair of ballet shoes.) But all three of the children vow to try to make themselves famous. But will they be able to do it? And more importantly, will they be able to earn enough money? I'm not really interested in dancing or ballet, but the author's writing style was pretty good.

New Moon (Twilight Saga)

New Moon (Twilight Saga)

By Stephenie Meyer

In the captivating sequel to Stephenie Meyer's bestselling "Twilight" novel, Bella Swan approaches her eighteenth birthday with bitter feelings. She doesn't permit presents from Edward Cullen, as she already feels his love is more than she deserves; is horrified when Alice Cullen tries to throw a blowout birthday party for her; feels disdainful at the thought that while Edward stays frozen in time, she must age; and all in all, deeply resents her birthday. Haunted by her fears of surpassing Edward's age, she begs Edward to make her a vampire, like him. But when Edward's reaction to protect her is like nothing she ever anticipated, Bella is left shocked, broken, and utterly alone. Months fly by. Her facade at staying calm in front of Charlie fails, she breaks ties with her classmates, and the hole in her chest increases by the day. But when she finally decides to revisit Jacob Black, whom she'd once pretended to flirt with to gain information about Edward, she finds her "own personal sun." Bella's healing process begins. Yet, Bella appears to be a magnet for trouble, and when Jacob holds a secret uncannily similar to Edward's superhuman state, Bella cannot deny the natural enmity beginning to brew.

The Best of Iggy

The Best of Iggy

By Annie Barrows

This book was okay, but there were some things I didn't like. It was a bit too short for me, and there wasn't much action or adventure. I think this would be good for younger kids, but it isn't my favorite book. I still liked the animated pictures, though, and that's why I rate The Best of Iggy 3/5 stars.

Dexter the Tough

Dexter the Tough

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

I love Dexter The Tough. The thing i like about this book is how at the beginning Dexter realized his mistakes and then he feels guilty but lies about his mistakes. In the middle he is saying sorry and then at the end Dexter is friends with robin and he finds out the secretary did not leave him out in the hallway alone. The janitor did not mean to make the floor to slippery. The principal did not know about Dexter's parents.
