Student Book Review - "The Sister's Club"

http://www.meganmcdonald.net/files/bookimages/24255909.jpgStinks being the middle child? Right? Well that’s exactly how Stevie Reel feels like in this fabulous novel. Stevie Reel senses as if she is the glue holding the family together. Especially since “Boss Queen Alex” has gotten way too wrapped up in her school play and her leading man, it’s like there’s no more time for, well basically anything.
      In the extraordinary story “The Sisters Club” we meet the protagonist Stevie Reel who feels similar to the glue holding the family together.  The family is excessively tied up in other things like acting and cooking, that there is no more time for the sisters club or even family dinners. There’s been much more drama and way too much arguing between the sisters and it all started ever since the “Boss Queen Alex” had gotten too caught up in her acting life and love live. Will the three sisters make up? Or will there be no more sisters club?
      One of my favorite parts in this book was when Stevie the protagonist “borrows” her sister’s lucky sweater and once she pulls a thread on the sweater, the sweater comes apart. This was my favorite part because it had created some suspense at the moment and it strengthened the conflict some more. This was shown in the story when Stevie had ripped her older sister’s sweater, this had showed suspense because the reader did not know what she was going to do next. At this moment the book was also a great page turner.
      Overall I would rate this enjoyable book 4 out of 5 because although it was a great suspenseful book, I would ask for a little bit more detail because I believe that it did not have as much of detail in the whole book itself and the conflict. Despite the fact that this book was lacking in detail, it was a great page turner and I would really recommend this book for anyone looking for some bumps along the way of the story.
