Hi, I’m Maureen. Today I read a book called Reach for the Stars. This book is about a girl named Abby Hayes. Her class is doing a play about Peter Pan. So This book is about Abby trying out for the part she wants.
The part Abby wanted was Wendy. So she practiced a lot. And even practiced dancing and singing. But Abby is not really good at acting. So she does not get Wendy. Some other girl who took acting lessons got Wendy. Instead, Abby gets the narrator who also rewrites the script again. This was because the script for Peter Pan was old fashioned. And Abby was very good at writing. So she rewrites the script with aliens and other more interesting things. And the play becomes a success because of Abby. And she even went on the stage even though she did not have a role because she did such a good job.
This book was very interesting. The best part was when Abby was practicing to get Wendy and got singing lessons from her sister. But there wasn’t a lot about the play they actually did. This book would have been much better if there was more about their play.
