A Crooked Kind of Perfect

Hi, I'm Greene. Recently, I read a book called A Crooked Kind of Perfect. It’s about a girl called Zoe Elias playing the Perfectone D-60.

Zoe wanted to play the piano, the wonderful instrument that was going to get her to play Carnegie Hall. Instead, she got the Perfectone D-60. Zoe also got Miss Person, who was going to teach her for free because they bought the Perfectone D-60.

Miss Person was not the teacher she wanted. Miss Person demanded ginger ale every time she came over to teach her. She didn’t call Zoe a prodigy. Zoe thought she wanted to quit. She was planning to tell everybody about quitting, but before she can, Miss Person decides that she was good enough to go to the Perform-O-Rama.

During the Perform-O-Rama Zoe makes a couple of mistakes, but she keeps going and she was really good for her first time at the Perform-O-Rama. She gets fourth place, and also a big shiny trophy.

When Zoe gets home, they have a party and Zoe finally gets a piano. She is really thrilled, but sad to see the Perfectone D-60 go.

I thought that Zoe should have had kept her Perfectone D-60 and refuse the piano. She should have also tried really hard to do better during the Perform-O-Rama. This was a really good book, and I recommend it a lot.
