|
Book summary in three sentences:
|
| The
book is about a girl called Elsa who is now getting called
'The bed and breakfast star' because she lives in a bed and
breakfast hotel. 10 boys keep bullying her and saying things
when she walks past them, the 10 boys whisper every time she
and her sister Pippa walk past. |
|
Book's strengths:
Which characters did you especially like and why?
|
| I
liked Elsa's mum because the silliest thing her family say
about the house they lived in before she starts crying. And
if Elsa mentions anything about the house they lived in before
they lived in the bed and breakfast hotel her Mum starts crying
and Elsa gets a smack by Mack the smack (That's what Elsa
calls him) |
|
Which parts of the storyline really worked well and why?:
|
| I
liked the bit where Pippa always needs to go to the toilet.
I really think that it is funny. |
|
What did you enjoy about the writers style?:
|
| The
writers style of this book is very very interesting. I really
have got stuck into this fantastic book.
|
|
Book weakness:
Which characters in the book were less believable or
interesting?
|
| I
think Mack (the smack) is not believable because I don't think
a Dad or a stepdad would smack you at the slightest thing
you say. I think Elsa is believable and interesting. |
|
Which parts of the book were difficult to follow or not
believable?:
|
| None
of the book was hard to follow. |
|
When did the writer's style not work as well?:
|
| The
writers style did not work as well when Pippa wants to go
to the toilet on nearly every page. I thought that got a bit
boring. |
|
Summary of the book, overall opinion of the book:
|
| I
thought the book was excellent and would recommend it to children
aged 7 years and over. |
