" Back to School Mallory"

I finally finished my next book. Like I did on the other, I did a five finger retell. I hope you love listening to a great book.

1. Characters- Mallory, Max, Mary Ann, Pamela, Mom, Dad, Joey, and the teacher.
2. Setting- Fern Falls Elementary and Mallory's house.
3. Problem- Mallory was getting ready to go to school when she found out her mom was going to be the new music teacher. She thought kids were suppose to bring paper,pencils,and backpacks to school, not their MOMS! After a while mom decided to have the third graders to do a show. She ended up being the eggplant. She was mad she also had to invite her friend to the show. She thought she would embarrass herself in front of her best friend. She was worried. She had a very BIG problem.
   
4. Events- Back to School and the big Fall Festival (the Show).
5. Solution- Her dad told her a story. He said," Give your mom and class mates a chance. So she did. She got used to her classmates and her mom being the music teacher. She began being friends with Pamela.
   

" Mallory on Board"

As all of you know I am making a book review. I am doing this so when I read a book I know what it is about. The name of the book is "Mallory on Board."
I am going to explain the story through a 5 finger-retell.

1. Main Characters- Mallory,Winnie,Max,Marry Ann,Joey,Mom,Dad,Frank,and Colleen.
2. Setting- The Sea Queen Cruise Ship.
3. Problem- Mallory goes on a cruise for her best friends parents wedding. Nothing goes the way she want's it to. Mallory feels like the extra person left out and like she shouldn't be there.
4. Events- Frank and Colleens big wedding, and the reception.
   
5. Solution- Captain Nate noticed Mallory was looking sad. He went to talk to her. She says she feels left out. Captain Nate tells her a story. After that everything changes. If you want know how the book ends your going to have to read it yourself. It's a really good book.

I loved this book!!! I think kids 7 and older should read this book.Younger kids may like to hear it for a bed time story. They will think it is really funny!!! :)
