...StarGirl... (Third Book)

              For my third independent reading book i'm going to read a book called StarGirl by Jerry Spinelli. I barely started reading this book and it seems really interesting. It is about a girl that everyone calls StarGirl. At school everyone is talking about her and she doesn't really seem to care or notice. She was the center of attention. A guy discribed her as not gorgeous but not ugly as any other girl you would see in school except she wore no make up and she had the biggest eyes ever. For now that's all i know about this girl and about this book.

13 going on to 30 ... Reflection..

          Well i really enjoyed reading this book. Like i actually wanted to read it and find out what would happen. After i finished reading the book i felt an admiration towards it. I found the main character of this book really interesting. Her name was Jenna. She was just a typical girl that went to school and wanted to be one the cool kids. So when her birthday party came along she took that as one of her advantages to invite the coolest kids in her school. But the cool kids took advantage of her invatation because they knew that she would do anything to have them at her 13 birthday party. Jenna agreed to do a school project for them so that they would attend her birthday party. Max her bestfriend gave her wishing dust and a built dream house that he had made with his own hands for her.When the cool kids from her school arrived to her party she was so happy. But they tricked her by saying that they were going to play seven minutes in heaven n she was like ohh woow. She was put in a closet but when she came out there was no one there only her friend Max so she thought Max had done something to make them leave. But Max didn't do anything the cool kids had taken advantage of her just to only get there school project done. Jenna was so upset and she was crying like crazy and saying i want to be thirty, flirty, and thriving. while she kept on repeating that some of the wishing dust Max had given her fell on her.The next day she woke up as a 30 year old and sahe was super shocked and surprised. But in the end the same wishing dust that had turned her 30 was the same wishing dust that had brought her back her life of being a 13 year old girl.

...13 going on to 30...

               My second independent reading book is called 13 going on to 30 by Christa Roberts. I am reading this book because it caught my attencion. It caught my attencion because of the title of it. In fact this book is a very interesting book. It is about a girl named Jenna and it was her 13 birthday and she invited the coolest people in her school and the coolest people in the school took advantage of it and told Jenna that they would go but they had to do a school project. So because Jenna really wanted them to go to her party she told them that she would do there school project so the cool kids took advantage of that. At the party they tricked Jenna and they left right after she gave them the school project Jenna felt really sad and disappointed and she kept on repeating i want to be thirty, flirty, and thriving then some of her wishing dust fell on top of her head and the next morning she was thirty and she was in shock and very confused. She went from being 13 to 30 in one day.
