Best Michelle book

This was a really, really, really good book. It was great because my favorite sport is soccer just like Michelle. It was the best Michelle book I have ready - and I have read 7 of them. I am in the first grade.

Funny!

This starts with a real life situation that faced my daughter... Michelle is the best player on her soccer team. As a result she is picked for the All-Star team. At her first All-Star practice, she realizes that she is the worst player on the All-Star team! Michelle decides to change that by working on her soccer skills after school... but when will she do her homework?... in the middle of the night while everyone else is asleep! Funny and a good story. However it gets a little awkward because the all the characters from the Full-House series appear in the book even if there is no reason for them to be there. It got a little confusing for my daughter because she does not know the characters from the Full-House series and they kept popping up through out the book.

No Sleeping Allowed

Hooray! Michelle just got picked to be on the all-star soccer team. That means practice, practice and mroe practice. It takes a ton of work to be a soccer star. But Michelle's dad says she has to quit the team if her grades start to slip. And she doesn't have time to practice her soccer and do her homework. Then Michelle gets a super idea. If she skips sleeping, she'll have plenty of time for soccer and schoolwork. It's a perfect plan, well almost...

It's easy to stay awake with this book!

Very nice book! It really reminds you of the fun of the good ol' sitcom Full House, which ended much to soon on TV. Michelle Tanner is selected for an all-stars soccerteam, but she must get her school grades up. To do so, she sneaks out of bed each night to do her homework in the middle of the night. At first this goes very well, but the more often she sneaks out, the more tired she becomes, the more fun the book is!
