Book Review 2-14: WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR?

I read WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR?. This book is written about a girl. She is a star, but she wants to disappear to the countryside to see new things. Her mother wants her to continue being the star, so her mother brings up her strictly. Then, she gets to dislike her mother because of this. Well, what does she do?

Tina Daniels is 13 and she is a star. She can sing and dance, and everyone knows her. They call her Curls because she has beautiful curly hair. She can have anything she wants. However, is she happy and does she want to be a star? One day, Mrs daniels, her mother, tells her not to eat chocolates. 'Why did you tell me such a thing?' she says. 'A fat girl doesn't get lots of money in Hollywood,' Mrs Daniels answers. Tina is very sad because she doesn't want to be a star. A day later, she decides to go to Mrs White's house in the country in Stonechurch. Mrs White is a grandmother for Mary, Tina's friend. After hours, she arrives at Mrs White's house. She tells her the reason why she came here. Mrs White understands her situation and decides to put her up for a week at Mrs White's house. For 6 days, Tina enjoys living in the country and talking with her. However, the last day, the postman gives Mrs White a letter. Then, he sees Tina and realizes she is a star, Curls. 'Why is she here?' he says to them. 'I don't understand...' Mrs White says. 'I'm sorry, but please don't send me home,' Tina says. 'I'm coming with you to see your mother. I've got a good idea,' Mrs White says. Then, she explains the idea to Mrs Daniels. It is that Tina can go to her friend's school on the island of Guernsey, between England and France, and she can have friends there who do not know she is Curls. At first, her mother doesn't agree to it, but she allows Tina to go there finally. Then, Tina is at school in Guernsey. She has new friends and new interests. At last, she gets happy!

WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR? depicted Tina's heart. I can agree with her. It is natural that she gets to dislike being stared with curiosity. I think Tina could make a fatal decision in this book. If she had obeyed Mrs Daniels, she might have had a different life in the country. In that sense, I think Mrs White lead her to have a happy life in the country. [435 words]
