Butterfly

Butterfly By: V.C. Andrews An incredible orphan story that you don't want to put down. Butterfly is the first of the fictional mini series Orphans. It is about a little girl named Janet who has lived in an orphanage her whole life. She is smaller than everyone and she is made fun of. Then she is adopted by two great parents. Her mother is in a wheelchair because she was in a car accident her father owns a glass company. Her mother's dream for Janet is that she becomes a prima ballerina. Janet has to go through intense training and is expected to do well for her first time doing ballet. She tries hard because her mother is watching. Janet believes that if she does not do well her mother will not want her. Janet does very well for her first time ever. She does well in school and makes friends but she loses them because her mother won't let her do anything with them. She thinks it will effect her ballet. Her father loves how she is making her mother so happy by being a good ballerina. Her father planned a party for Janet and her mother was very upset because she wanted Janet to practice even more. After practicing and practicing she is ready for her recital. The girl next to Janet ran into her and they fell. Her mother told her that she was embarrassed and wanted to leave. That was the first time she met her grandparents and they weren't happy. Now she had to work even harder to keep her parents. There were tryouts for this ballet summer camp that her mother and she wanted her to go to. It was a great book. You have to read it to find out the end. I can't wait to read the next books. V.C. Andrews is a wonderful and exciting writer. Once I started to read the book I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book for a little bit of an older audience. I believe that this should be for the ages of eleven and older. I give this book a five out of five rating. *****
