IN THE WINGS

I HAVE JUST FINISHED READING A BOOK CALLED 'IN THE WINGS'. THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY ANTONIA BARBER. THIS WAS A FANTASY BOOK AND WAS SET IN AND AROUND LUCY'S LOCAL NEIGHBOURHOOD.

THE BOOK HAD TEXT THAT WAS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. IT WAS A GREAT BOOK AND THE STORY KEPT YOU GUESSING. I WAS NEVER SURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.

THE BOOK WAS ALL ABOUT LUCY (LOU). LUCY WAS LIVING AT HOME WITH HER MOTHER JENNY AND HER LITTLE BROTHER. LOU AND HER FRIENDS EMMA AND JEM ALL WENT TO THE MAPLE SCHOOL OF BALLET. THEY WERE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE JUNIOR ASSOCIATION BALLET AUDITIONS BUT WITH LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO BOTH LOU AND JEM CAME DOWN WITH CHICKEN POX. LOU AND JEM TRIED THEIR VERY BEST AT THE AUDITIONS AND JUST HOPED THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH TO EARN THEM A PLACE. AS THE BOOK WENT ON LOU WAS BEGINNING TO WONDER IF MAYBE HER MOTHER WAS GOING TO GET MARRIED AGAIN, AS HER MOTHER WAS SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER, BUT DID LOU HAVE REASONS TO BE CONCERNED? I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE A READ AT THIS BOOK, IT REALLY IS A GREAT BOOK.

I AM GIVING THIS BOOK A RATING OF FOUR, IT WAS A GOOD BOOK BUT I FELT IT WAS MORE OF A CHILDREN'S STORY.
