1. I am currently reading Amazing Grace, by Megan Shull. This book is about a teen tennis superstar named Grace Kincaid. Grace has everything she ever wanted; millions of dollars, many fans, great looks and mad tennis skills. But she soon realizes that she doesn't want it anymore. She calls her mom the night before the U.S. Open and tells her three words that will change her life forever: I want out. Right now, Grace has just had her makeover (or makeunder, as they call it). She went to go live with her aunt in Medicine Hat, Alaska, population 813. Everything is very different and it takes a while for her to get used to the rural town. She realizes how much she likes this town after she almost got hit on a bike with a moose!
2. So far, this book has been very good! I had a recommondation from Sadie Hyde and she was right.. this book is good! I've never read a book like this and it keeps you interested. I haven't read that much of the book but I like this book so far. I love reading Grace's perspective and her opinion in everything that is going on. Megan Shull also has descriptive adjectives to describe things like Ava's cabin. I am dying to know what will happen next!
3. One theme so far in this book is romance. Grace has just met Teague, the super cute local boy who she met after falling off her bike. I think that this will lead to something. When I was reading this book, it was obvious that she really liked him. It also seems that he is also falling for Grace. It was interesting when Megan Shull introduced this new character. I'm excited to find out where this will lead!
4. My favorite character is Grace's aunt, Ava. Grace has never met her but she adapts quickly. When they first meet, Ava seems really nice and cool about Grace coming to stay with her. They meet for the first time when Grace is having her makeunder. Ava was empathetic and focused on what needed to be done. I'm really excited to learn more about her character.
5. I think my least favorite character is Grace's agent. When she was first told that Grace was quitting, she tryed to talk her out of it. I think that she should have been encouraging her to follow her dreams and do what she feels comfortable doing. She is not a bad character I just think that Her decision to do that was a little immature.
6. I think that Grace is going to go to a new school and it is going to be very different. I think she will eventually make friends but it may take a while. I want to know how she will act around her new friends and if she will change her personality too. She might be nervous because she doesn't know if anyone would notice her. I would be! I am wondering if Megan Shull is going to put a twist in the story. I also think that Grace and Teague are going to date. Maybe Teague will introduce her to some of his friends.
I really enjoyed how the plot and the theme played out. I also liked each character and their personality. I like your description of the characters. I agree with not being the biggest fan of Grace's agent because it was very rude of her to try to push her to continue on instead of letting her follow what she really wanted to do. Something I disagree with is your favorite character, Grace's aunt. I think a great job, especially with your prediction.
ReplyDeleteAlly, I am also reading this book and i absolutely love it! I think your description of Graces "make under" was very good. I liked it because it shows how much a girl can loose in just a matter of minutes. I disagree with you on thinking that her agent is mean. THis is because I think he knows that if she quits she could never ever go back and he just wanted to give her that chance. Overall, I thought your blog was very insightful and your prediction seems very true.
