City Pictures

Okay. One thing I want to say about this book is that it's fantastic. Especially for kids who live, have lived, or are going to live in Calgary, AB Canada, where the story takes place. The best part of the book, in my opinion, was reading about all the place in Calgary that I recognize, like streets and the Calgary Tower. I used to live there, so I know all about it. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is because it wasn't long enough. The book is told through the main character's point of view. Who is the main character, you might ask? Well, her name is Sherri Farquhar. To tell it better, I'll put what it says on the back of the book right here: To thirteen-year-old Sherri, it seems her family has always been on the move. Leaving behind the prairies of Gardin, Alberta, she and her family are back in Calgary, where her dad has a promising job. Sherri dreads facing yet another new school in the fall, without a single friend in the city. But then she meets Samantha. Sam has got it all- great looks, personality, and the latest clothes and music. Her friends are away for the summer, so Sam has time to take Sherri under her wing. Sherri is thrilled; she knows she can learn a lot from Sam, who has an answer for everything. But then Sam and Sherri are accused of shoplifting, and Sherri must look for her own answers- about trust, friendship, and the price of fitting in. (End) If you thought that sounds interesting, I advise you to GET THAT BOOK! But one more little piece of advice. Before you get this book, you should get another book called Prairie Pictures. This is the sequel to it, so you can get the first part of Sherri's story through it! Bye!
