Hi! This is another book review. This book review is on Born to Dance.
Author- Jean Ure
Genre- Fiction, Everyday Life
Theme- Have persistence
Target Audience- 8+ I will explain why later in the post
I will now explain why l chose have persistence for the theme. I chose have persistance for the theme because Maddy was certain that Caitlyn was a dancer. When Maddy asked Caitlyn, she denied she was a dancer. Once Maddy finds out the truth, she keeps asking her Mother about Caitlyn, because her Mother teaches ballet. Maddy kept persisting about asking and trying to help Caitlyn believe in her abilities to dance.
I will now explain why l chose 8+ for the target audience. I chose 8+ for the target audience because the words aren't confusing or too long and is great if you want to start reading longer books (this is the perfect one to start with). This book is also entertaining, so an added bonus!
This book is about Maddy always thinking that Caitlyn was a dancer. Liv and Jordan think that Maddy is being silly. Then, Miss Lucas wants Maddy to be in the school play but Maddy thinks it's stupid. Maddy does it and then starts to rehearse in the gym but what does Maddy think when she sees Caitlyn trying to teach herself ballet?
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars ⛦ because although really good, it wasn't the best book in the world. The way to improve the book would probably just have vocabulary that's more difficult, because that makes you want to read the book more.
The question of the blog is can you dance ballet? I chose this question because the only type of dance they do in this story is ballet. I don't dance ballet and I don't really think I ever will because I do not have the leg strength to dance ballet. Also I don't know how to speak French (not that you have to know) but it would be easier to start when knowing French because ballet moves are in French.

The Peacock Detectives
Hi! I hope you enjoy this book review on The Peacock Detectives!
You may recognise this book from my What Books I Got For Christmas post- HERE
Author- Carly Nugent
Genre- Fiction, Mystery
Theme- Stay strong, I will tell you why later in the post
Target audience- 10+ l will explain why later in the post
I chose stay strong for the theme because during the book Cassie (the main character), went through hard times. For example, her Grandpa dying who
seemed like the only person who understood her. People were also keeping secrets from Cassie and her best friend went missing (Jonas) who, the day before, was acting really strange and unlike himself.
I chose 10+ for the target audience because the words were somewhat complex and some of the ideas were complicated and hard to remember.
This book is about Cassie or Cassie Jane as her Grandpa (later dead) called her. Cassie loved to observe things especially things to do with peacocks because she loved them. Which, is obviously how Carly Nugent got the name for this book! Then, things started to go wrong with her Mum and Dad's relationship, her mum moved out and got a new job where her "lover" Roger worked. It confused me because even though Cassie's mum was married she got a boyfriend (I guess). Then, troubled Jonas's gone somewhere... I don't want to spoil it!
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because I really enjoyed this book and it seemed like it would go for ages. There were lots of plot twists and you would never expect them!
The question of the blog is do you like peacocks? I don't really like peacocks but I like the way the male peacocks look (sorry female peacocks) but the males have more colours and look more interesting.

Book talk- December 2019
Hi! I hope you enjoy the last Book talk for 2019!
I have reviewed this book,
Dancing shoes by Noel Streatfeild
A quick recap,
Dancing shoes- In Dancing shoes, Hilary and Rachel's Father died in a plane crash and their mother died leaving them orphans. Their aunt and uncle become guardians of the two girls and tried to teach them how to dance.
The book I liked the most is... well, this segment of Book talk is impossible because I only reviewed one book. I've only done this segment since September's Book talk. I will try and do more book reviews in the future.
