A Review by Si Yun Zou, 5-506

"Dana's Best Friend" is a very nice book about friendship. The book made me feel that I was watching a movie about the book. The book made me remember when I was younger. I was planning to go to my friend's house for a party, but then I couldn't go and I was so upset. In this book, Becky a girl named Dana wants to go to her friend Becky's birthday party, but she also wants to go to Lila's last day at the gym. Lila is a person that helped the children if they need help witht their gymnastics.I like this book because it is very interesting when Dana doesn't know which party she wants to go to. Why did the birthday party and Lila's party have to be on the same day? I would recommend this book to my friend. It would be good for her because she likes books that are amusing like this one. The author wants to entertain us. The lesson of "Dana's Best Friend" is that sometimes, it can be hard to choose and sometimes things ca go wrong. My favorite part is when Dana has to chose one party to go to. It was very amusing when I was up to that part. I also liked when the camera person told Dana to do the flip so she could be on TV. I like this part because I feel glad for Dana since it was her wish to be on TV. I think Dana really wanted to go to both parties.I disliked the part when Becky was yelling at Dana because I felt sad for her. I wondered, would they be friends again? I would want them to be friends again forever. What will happen next year on the other birthday? "Dana's Best Friend" is a realistic fiction because it could really happen to someone. If you want to find out what happens, then read "Dana's Best Friend."

It was great!

It was very good. An easy to read book about some problems that come up when you are a gymnast. If you are not a gymnast you will still like it!
