Camryn Augustyn 11-13-2020 MCDS 4-19 Language Arts Do you like to dance? Good, because today I am going to be talking about the book Katerina Ballerina by Tiler Peck and Kyle Harris and the illustrator of this book is Sumiti Collina. The book was written in May 2020. I thought the book was well written because it captured all the action and it made me want to keep reading and reading the book! In the story, Katerina Ballerina, Katerina is the main character. The story usually took place at home, school, or ballet. But there is a problem, Katirina’s dad was running low on money to pay for her ballet lessons. When Katirina found out about that she immediately went to town and danced to make some money to pay for her ballet lessons herself, but her dad would not let her. At her ballet there was a show where you could perform a dance that you made up on stage and Katirina decided to do it with her friend, but right before they went on stage her friend got hurt, so Katirina had to do it by herself. What will happen,........SHE WON!!! And she got to take free ballet lessons. Some things that I like most about the book were it captured all the details like what they said, did, and thought. Another thing that I like about the book was there was a problem and it went throughout the story so it made me want to keep reading it to see what would happen next. My last favorite thing about the book is I liked how the story was ordered. This paragraph is going to be my opinion of the characters in the story! The first character that I am going to be talking about is Katirina. In the story, Katrina is the main character,I thought she was a really good character in the story because she told the story really well and had good character traits. The second character is Katirina’s dad. I liked Katirina’s dad as one of the characters because he was nice to Katirina, but he was not one of my favorite characters because he did not have much to say. The next character is Katirina’s friend. Katirina’s friend is one of my favorite characters because she was a good friend and I would love to be her friend. Also the story would be very different without her in it. The last character is Katirina’s dog. The dog is one of my favorite characters because he sounded really cute and friendly in the story, even though they did not really talk about him too much I still think he is an important character. Those are some of my opinions of the characters!!! If you like to dance then this book is definitely for you and I recommend it, because it is a really good story and you will want to keep reading it to see what will happen next! If you do not like dance or are not interested in it then this book is probably not for you because it is about a girl who dances.

This book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. It has everything a book could have!!! I wouldn't say it's for KIDS, because there is scenes that are more mature....one time, there were two people making out in the bathroom.... I say it's mostly for girls...not trying to be all steortypic, but boys really shouldn't read this...it there is jokes about periods and stuff...But it's a really good book! I love it! And I'm in 5th grade.. Kinda violent...Unless your parent are chill about what you read, you really shouldn't read this.. But great comic!!! I am inspired by it! Quite a touching ending!!! 10/10!!!

This is probobly the best book anyone can read ( I think) ! It's about two friends who find their way out of their home, the dying city of Ember. I reccamend this book to everyone who liked to read either Rick Riordan books, J.K Rowling books, and Suzanne Collins books.

“When will my reflection show who I am inside.” I’ve always been a fan of Mulan. The movie is stunning. As a little girl I thought Mulan was amazing, but now I see her as an inspiration to all women. Reflection by Elizabeth Lim is a masterpiece. I loved the characters and plot twists so much. Speaking of… ***Characters*** Fa Mulan/Ping- Mulan (like I said) is an inspiration to all women out there. I liked how she made everyone believe that Ping is an actual person. Women make strong men! Respect for Mulan… Li Shang- Was a very mysterious character. I loved how he was bold and strong at first, but opened up to Mulan about his feelings and even his feelings for her. I like how he developed after his visit to the underworld (Diyu). ***Setting*** Diyu was a very nice and planned out setting. It really showed that Lim took the time and effort to plan it out. Every single thing is carefully planned and described for us readers, from the sky to the grass under Mulan’s feet. As an author-in-progress, Elizabeth Lim is an author that I look up to now. I am taking her work as an example for my writing! Look out for a ‘Dedicated to Elizabeth Lim’ novel! In all… I really liked this book. It is definitely a book to look out for! March 27, 2018! Oh! And did you see the gorgeous final cover? I am buying a second copy! Five stars from me! I received an ARC from Disney Hyperion; this has not influenced my opinion in any way.

i think that the movie was great and funny but the ending was sad so i didnt think it was good

I recommend this book to any sci-fi lovers out there. Coville did a great job explaining a lot of things. SPOILERSS:For example, he did a good job explaining how the teacher looks like!

I just loved this book! I'm a 4th grader and have always loved fantasy. When at my school I asked the librarian for a suggestion she showed my this book series and I instantly fell in love with it! I've always been an advanced reader so it's harder and harder to find books that fit me. But this one is just perfect! I recommend this book for 12+ if your an average reader and 10+ for advanced readers. I suggest this book series for people who are fine with cussing.because this book series has quite a bit. Also for people who like kind of war/fantasy/adventure type of books. And I like those type of books so this book series was perfect! If you liked this book series you might want to check out the book series (Eragon) Its probably for 13+ average reader only because it has some hard words not because of the book. its about a normal boy who finds a dragon egg and there's lots of adventure and magic in that in that book series. And the ranger apprentice serires it good for 10-18. all in all this is the best book I have read so far!

The book ''Blue Fish'' is an amazing story that people can relate to in so many different ways. To be honest with you once I started to read this book, I just could not stop. The author Pat Schmatz is a talented writer and now I really want to read every single book he wrote. In this book review, I will be telling you all the positives and negatives I have with the book. Honestly I have so much of positives I can't count them all.But one of them that I loved so much is about the main character Travis and his dog Rosco. When I was little I had a dog and I was so close to her and the day we gave him away to a friend, my heart broke. Just like Travis's when he found out Rosco got killed. I love that connection that Travis had with his dog. To prove this statement it says on page155 it says''He missed the smell,the dog hair all over his clothes, and Rosco's deep row-wow bark.'' A next example of a positive is about Travis's friend Velveeta. The reason why Ilike this story is becuase Velveeta is having a hard life but could still make the better of it . In support of this statement it says on page 88 '' The madre made real food again, and this time the butt showed... and they drank thier dinner while I ate mine.'' Velveeta has a mom who drinks too much and a brother who drinks and sells drugs. Tough life right? To be honest with you I have no negative reviews what so ever. The book '' Bluefish'' is a great book and I trult recomend this book to anyone who would like to read a book about a boy trying to learn how to read and deal with personal problems with his grandfather and a girl trying to find closure about a recent death. I would love to read it if I were you!

I am reading the Divergent Series currently and want to learn more about Four/Tobias. Veronica Roth is a great author so I trust that this book will be great.

Such an amazing book! I've read so many books and Enjoy these so much. There probably one of my favorite books! I would suggest them. They are shorter but they do have more than one book in the series. If you are younger and get scared easily I would not tell you to read these books. There not scary to me just a great book ;)
