The Audition

Hi! I hope you enjoy this post on The Audition!

Author- Maddie Ziegler 
Genre- Fiction is back!
Theme- Persistence l will explain why later in the post
Target audience- 7+

I will now explain why l chose persistence for the theme. I chose persistence because Harper (it is from Harper's perspective) had to move school because she moved states. At first everyone was kind of mean to Harper.

The team that makes up Dancestarz  (Dancestarz is the new dance team) : Harper a new girl, Lily another new girl and Harper's best friend, Tina part of the Bunheads trio, Megan part of the Bunheads trio, Lucky last Trina part of the Bunheads trio. 

This book is about Harper moving and her new dance team, Dancestarz! Lily's family owns a frozen yogurt place and there is a town parade. Of course Dancestarz has to dance in the parade. Megan decided the group should do fast choreography because it was really interesting (but not safe because they were dancing on a float). Then the Dancestarz coach Vanessa changed the fast choreography to slow because Harper could not keep up with the fast sequence. At last minute Megan changes the slow choreography to the fast choreography because they saw their biggest enemies the Belles. Remember that  Harper could not keep up with the fast choreography. Well Harper ended up falling off the floaty. The Belles record the fall and it ends up being viral!

I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because at the end the Lily, Harper and the Bunheads end up being better friends then before. It is a great message to spread around that you can make friends with the people who are not exactly nice to you when they first meet you.

The question of the blog is ... which dance style would you like to do the most and why? I personally think I would enjoy acro because I can do a lot of tricks already (it says in MY first post ever) and a lot of people say l am flexible too!

I will do The Callback very soon. So look out for that! I hope you enjoy this post on The Audition! Love-bookworm blog πŸ’•

The Maddie Diaries

Hi! I hope you enjoy this post on The Maddie Diaries!

Author- Maddie Ziegler (Madison Nicole Ziegler is her full name)
Genre- Non-Fiction (Are you surprised?)
Theme- No theme because it is Non-Fiction
Target audience- 9+ Mostly aimed for tweens and up

This is kind of a weird book because it is a procedural book and kind of a self help book. There are ways to make yourself confident and it is really helpful.

Have you heard of this award winning author before? Maddie Ziegler is an actress, dancer and author. Terrible singer though, although her sister Kenzie Ziegler (Mackenzie Ziegler) is definitely a singer. Her step-father and her mother always supported Maddie Ziegler and Mackenzie Ziegler.

This book is about .... Well it is about tips and tricks really! It tells you how to do different hairstyles and it is really useful if you are a dancer! It also tells you different ways to do your makeup. Once again useful if you are a dancer!

I recommend this book to any performer beccause of all the tips and tricks.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it is a very useful book for yourself and your friends. And if you are a big fan of Maddie Ziegler you get to know much more about her! There is even a part where Mackenzie Ziegler wrote some things about her sister, Maddie Ziegler.

The question of the blog is ... What hairstyle would you like to know how to do the most? I would personally love to be able to do a fishtail in my hair. I think it would look sophisticated with that hairstyle.

Hope you enjoyed this book review on The Maddie Diaries! Love-bookworm blog πŸ’•

Amelia Jane Again!

Hi! Here is another Amelia Jane book again. Also the other books in the series are Amelia Jane is naughty again! The other book in the series is Good idea, Amelia Jane! Why does it say good idea? Well read and find out! I am not doing Amelia Jane again for quite some time. Sorry for the long introduction l did it in case you wanted to read the Amelia Jane series. Hope you enjoy this post!


Author- Enid Blyton
Genre- Fiction
Theme- be gratefull for what you have (l will explain why later in the post)
Target audience- 7+

Okay l will now explain why l chose 'be grateful for what you have'. I said be grateful for what you have because sometimes when you have something you do not want it but when you do not have you miss it. Make any sense? So basically what l am saying is when Amelia Jane is gone the toys know that they would miss her.

Sorry if you got confused but the toys are toys, but they become alive and do things.

So finally .... This book is about Amelia Jane being naughty again! Did you guess that? Well l think you did!

lf you want to learn more about Amelia Jane herself check out the post that l posted before this post which is called ..... Naughty Amelia Jane!

Back to the book- my favourite prank which is also my HIGHLIGHT is .... when Amelia Jane got a pillow and got the feathers out and made the feathers go everywhere! It was really funny and you should have a giggle about it too!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it was very funny and entertaining. It is a very good book if you are bored and want to get entertained!

The question of the blog is what prank would you do if you were Amelia Jane? I think l would do one of the most classic prank in history! I would do the toothpaste prank with Oreos. This means l would scrape out the filling for the Oreo and fill it up with toothpaste instead! What prank would you do? Write your answer in the comment section down below  (if you do not want to that, it is okay too) !

Hope you enjoyed this book review! Love-bookworm blog πŸ’•

Naughty Amelia Jane!

Hi! I hope enjoy this post!

Author- Enid Blyton 
Genre- Fiction
Theme- Be grateful l guess? Be happy for what you have.
Target audience- Credits to a commenter from my latest post. I think the target audience  is age 7+

Meet Amelia Jane ( if you do not know her already) : She is Big! She is bad! She is the terror of the toy cupboard! So you know the background,  Amelia Jane is a toy that becomes alive and likes to be a prankster! Amelia Jane is very naughty.

This book is about Amelia Jane snipping off the tail of Pink Rabbit, squirts Tom the soldier and gets up to mischief at the beach. My HIGHLIGHT was when Amelia Jane got soap and tied it or stuck it to her foot ( l forget which-you find out, read the book!) and skated around like she was riding on roller-skates!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ . l found it very entertaining because Amelia Jane kept pranking and tricking everyone. So if you read it, l think you will find it very entertaining and maybe even laugh a bit!

The question of the blog is- What would you do if you were stuck with Amelia Jane in the toy cupboard? Write your answer in the comment section down below! My answer is, l would most likely try and ignore the tricks and pranks and punish Amelia Jane when it got out of hand!

Hope you enjoyed! Sorry this is a short book review. Love-bookworm blog

The Polka Dot Shop

Hi! I am taking a break on the Baby-sitters club, and l will start doing them again in April. I hope you enjoy this book review on The Polka Dot Shop!

Author- Laurel Remington
Genre- Fiction
Theme- Persistence
Please comment and provide some ideas that you would like for the above list. I thought of theme (but if you do not have an idea, you do not have to comment).

This book is about how Andy (she is actually a girl, Andy is short for Andrea) does not like vintage clothes. However, Andy's mum owns an op shop with pre-loved, pre-owned clothes.  Everything Andy's mum wears is NEVER almost never new. Andy barely got anything new, she only got new clothes that were sent by Aunt Linda  (Aunt Linda lives in a different state to Andy and her mum). To make matters worse her dad died a long, long time ago so Andy's mum (Eliza) can not do anything else except for running her op shop and falls into depression. By the way the shop is named Eliza's Emporium. Then Andy's (Andrea if you forget she is a girl) school announced that the school is not going to have uniforms anymore! Andy (Andrea) gets scared because all her clothes are pre-owned and pre-loved and her school uniform was basically ger protection from her mums store. During that time Andy's friends, started being mean to Andy and in the book Andy's "Friends" were called Fashion police, you either got a thumbs up πŸ‘or thumbs down πŸ‘Ž. But everything changes when she finds a designers bag, in the back of Eliza's Emporium and everything starts to change at last.

Sorry l know that was a very long paragraph, but lets get started on the star rating!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because Andy NEVER gave up on transforming the Emporium, well most of the time she does not give up anyway. That is also the reason l gave this book the theme of persistence.

The question of the blog is ... if you got to decorate/redesign the Emporium what would it look like? I personally think I would start by getting rid of everything and painting the walls white and start from there.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Love-bookworm blog πŸ’•

Claudia and the New Girl

Hi! This is yet another Baby-sitters club book, because this is the LOSER of What book next? where you had to vote for the one you wanted and l promised l would do the loser later. So here it is....  and l hope you enjoy!

The author is Ann.M.Martin
Genre- Fiction

This book is about a new girl who is very talented. The new girl is named Ashley Wyeth. Basically Ashley makes Claudia do everything she says and Claudia obliges because of their love of art. There is an art competition and Ashley and Claudia are busy with it, so  Claudia keeps missing meetings of the Baby-sitters club. Because Claudia keeps missing the Baby-sitters club meetings she NEVER gets any jobs to do. Dawn being the Alternative officer picks up Claudia's jobs when meetings happen. Eventually The Baby-sitters club gets very tired of Claudia slacking off and the Baby-sitters club hide scrunched up notes everywhere in Claudia's room. The notes have mean things on them mostly, mean poems for Claudia to read. At the end of the book they are all happy and really they all just forget about Claudia neglecting the club.

I give this book my FIRST EVER 4 out of 5 stars ⛦ because l wanted more Baby-sitting l guess?  It got boring after a while because there was no Baby-sitting Every book has its own faults.

The question of the blog is what would you write if you were writing a scrunched up note? I would probably write to Claudia "are you still going to be my best friend?- Stacey". If Claudia spent all her time with Ashley I would wonder that for sure!

Hope you enjoyed! Love-bookworm blog  πŸ’•

Chinese Cinderella

This book is called Chinese Cinderella The secret of the unwanted daughter .It is a very long title so l thought l would abbreviate as Chinese Cinderella.

The auther is Adeline Yen Mah. Adeline is her English name and Yen is her Chinese name. Finally Mah is her family surname. This ia an autobiography.

Sorry for that long introduction to this book review and l am also sorry that l have not posted in a while. Also this is the mystery post l was talking about in the last post/Book review. Go check it out!

This book is about a child being neglected (we will go back to why she was neglected) but when she was not being neglected she was being bullied by her siblings. Now the reason she (Adeline Yen Mah) was getting neglected is because she is the reason (kind of) for her mother's death. Her mothers death happened soon after she was born so everyone took her as the blame. Sad right? Well one year after that her father remarried, to someone who was not very nice to her step-children. To make matters worse her step-mother had her own children and of course no one said it it was clear that her children were better than her step-children. If you disobeyed there was an extremely harsh (well very harsh like on a scale on one to ten it was probaly a nine, as ten being the worst it was a pretty bad punishment).

Some of it is written in Chinese, so if you can not read it there is a section where it translates it for you.

                                                  ⬇WARNING⬇
The adult version of Chinese Cinderella is called Falling leaves. So if you are 12 and under read Chinese Cinderella and if you are  13+ read either one (or both)!

This book makes me sad because of how they treat Adeline and others, it is just really unfair! Everyone has the right to be treated well and with respect.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because of how every thing happened and l just really enjoyed this book :) And on a (good) side note you also learn about the history of China and how it became what it is now! For example you learn when there was a Communist war and the Japanese soldiers invaded, her family had to keep moving.

Hope you enjoyed it! Love-bookworm blog πŸ’•
