Confetti Girl
Transcript: Confetti Girl by: Diana Lopez Main Idea The main idea is about a girl dealing with life after her mother dies, while her father reads books all the time. She is also dealing with her friend who ignores her a lot. Plot Confetti Girl is about a girl named, Apolonia Flores or just Lina. Lina is a tall girl who loves socks, soccer, and science. Lina has a lot to deal with. Especially, how her mother died a year ago and all her father does is read books. Lina also has to deal with her friend ignoring her for some boy. Lina is also failing English at the time. Everything is going crazy! Can Lina get everything back to the way it normally is? Read the book to find out! Character: Lina I picked Lina, because she is the main character. Also, I picked Lina, because she was very smart and strong physically and mentally. Lina is a tall girl, who loves socks, soccer, pretty much any sport, and science. Problem The problem in the story is that Lina's dad reads too much and Vanessa (Lina's friend) ignores Lina for some boy. Also, Lina is failing English and has to raise her grade up or else she can't do any sports. Solution I am not going to give away all the solutions. Then, I would give away a lot of the ending. One solution is Lina hangs out with her dad more. Story made me feel sad and happy, because Lina just had a rough time in some parts of the book. I was happy though when she had good times in the book. This book reminds me of just having those bad days sometimes when I sometimes don't get a good grade and after that the day starts to fall apart. Vocabulary Cascarones: eggshells that the yolk are taken out of and confetti is put in the egg. You smash it on top of somebody's head. Felicity: happy Marsupial: It is a mammal that carries its babies in their pouch. SURPRISE! A surprising moment in the book is when Lina makes up a summary about the book Watership Down (because she didn't read it) and Lina is sent to the school counselor. The school counselor makes her finish the "story" and Lina writes about her life for the rest of the "story". I would give this book... 5 Stars!!!!!! I would recommend this book to girls who like a little bit of drama. I liked this book and I hope you would too.
