Dear Mrs. Zrihen,

I currently finished reading: Toeshoe Trouble. By: Wopppie Goldberg (yes, THE Woppie Goldberg). This is the book I chose for free choice . This is book 2 of the Sugar Plum Ballerinas series. Woppie Goldberg is a famous actress, so I was sum-what surprised when I found out she wrote this book.

This book is about a girl named Brenda Black is an amazing 12 year old ballerina prodigy, but what Brenda wants is to be a doctor. Every single free second she has she study's for medical school. She can piratically answer any question about doctor's. But another why she studies her butt off is because she is kind of poor well, more like middle class very, very LOW middle class because her mom is single and She is a very well behaved child that has her priorities straight: School first, Ballet second. So when her very spoiled rich (she has her own pony)cousin Tiffany comes to town she freaks out! She is so rude, consented brat! Nothing Brenda's mom does is good enough not even one of Brenda's friend's (from ballet class) Dad's pizza ( which is the best Italian restaurant in town. So when Tiffany starts talking about how she is such a good ballerina and constant bragging Brenda just ignores her but when Tiffany says Brenda's not even cultural to know who Camilla Freeman is Brenda just snapped and lies and says that she has a Camilla Freeman autographed pair of her ballerina shoes (which her headmistress of ballet school actually owns) when Tiffany asks to see them Brenda starts to regret she ever told her because then she steals the shoes loses them then goes half way across the state to find Camilla Freeman at a book signing for her new ballet book to ask her if she can sign her pair and replace Ms. Debbe's (the headmistress) pair before she finds out. But after she finally gets it signed she gets caught by Ms. Debbe who is at the book signing to and she learns a lesson and get lectures.

I used six strategies while reading: 2 before, 2 during, and 2 after.

Two before:

1. I skimmed and scanned for text features
2. I researched the book online and read the synopsis

Two during:
1) after every chapter I would summarize what I read
2) if I did not understand something I would re-read it



Two after:
1)I summarized the main idea of the book

2. I discussed it with my mom
   

The main characters are: Brenda, Ms. Debbe, Tiffany, Camilla Freeeman, and all the ballerinas in Brenda's class. The P.O.O. Is Chronological Order because it goes by time sequence. The P.O.V. Is 1^stperson. The author's purpose was to entertain. The genre of this book is realistic fiction there is no sub genre. The moral is be your self.



I WOULD RATE THIS BOOK 5/5 NOT BECUAS E IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING BOOK IN THE WORLD BUT BECAUSE IT WAS A QUICK READ. I would recommend this book to girl ages 10-13 who love ballet and Woppie Goldberg (That's the type of person I would recommend this book to. DO NOT ASK ME IF I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YOU IF YOU KNOW YOUR'E NOT THIS TYPE OF PERSON OR EVEN IF YOU ARE, IF YOU DO I AM NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION).
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO THE CLASS BECAUSE ONLY GIRL WOULD LIKE IT AND I DOUGHT ANY OF THE GIRLS IN SEVENTH GRADE WILL ENJOY THIS BOOK. I AM BEGGING DO NOT ASK ME IF I WOULD RECOMMED THIS TO YOU ( WHOEVER YOU ARE) BECAUSE I DO NOT!

P.S. IF YOU DO NOT PLAN ON READING MY RJ DO NOT COMMENT, I WILL JUST GET REALLY MAD AND WILL JUST IGNORE YOUR “QUESTION”
