Hi there,Supermouse!~

Hi there,Supermouse!A novel by Jean Ure,a british author,is a remarkable and well written book.It is the story of two sisters,Nicola and Rose who have totally diffrent personalities.'Jean Ure is a gifted author.'(British Book News).Once again,Hi there,Supermouse! by Jean Ure will not make the readers dissapointed just like other books written by her.The story is interesting! There isn't much story in this book.Mainly about the daily life of a 13 year old girl and her family.Nicola,the elder daughter of the family is the main character.Most of the time Nicola behaves like a boy.She has dark brown hair.As far as their mother,Mrs Bruce was concerned,the only talent Nicola had was for getting into trouble.She drew funny faces on Rose's ballet shoes and play in the mud.These were ridiculous.Rose,on the other hand was the talented one.She could sing and dance and was pretty as picture,just like her name.Mrs Bruce sometimes threats Nicola not as good as she threats Rose.For one ocassion,she even rejected the invitation for wanted Nicola to play a part in the local theatre show. The crisis in Nicola's life occurs when Rose got the part and there was absolutrly nothing for Nicola could do about it.That was until Rose fell ill and Nicola had to stanf in for her in the rehearsals.It was surprising as Nicola did act better than Rose. Nicola's career was fanstatic.Although she often causes troubles,she is a friendly girl with a great affection and sympathy to animals.Thus,made her can act well in the show.She takes her dog for a walk everyday.She felt sad too when the mouse once she used to have escaped from its cage as she didn't shut the door properly. The imaginative part of her character and the most interesting part of the story is during the rehearsal,when Nicola had to take an imaginary mouse from her pocket and showed it high up.The mouse was going to escape into the room.Nicola abd everybody else had to follow it with thier eyes so that the audience would know where it was and what it was doing.Nicola didnt have ant problem at all imagining a mouse.They really can 'see' the mouse.It was a real mouse,a supermouse! It is great as the story had a happy ending.The author is careful to be precise,describing the feeling of a child who was always being think as trouble maker and lack of talent.In fact,the only thing that Nicola lack of is chance.I like the'never give up' spirit of Nicola.Her personalities leads to her success for being able to attend dancing lessons.This book is suitable for all ages,especially teenagers who are 11 years old and above as there are some difficulties of vocabularies in the book.Overall,it is a fascinating story.You will feel not enough for just reading it once.You will look forward to reading it twice!~
