Book Review # 3 by Judith Rodriguez

Three sisters: Stevie, Alex and Joey have formed a club…. a club in which they let each other in on their deepest secrets. Stevie is the middle sister and main character. Throughout the story, Stevie wonders a lot. After a weather unit at school, she wonders about the weather, clouds and if she is ready for a boyfriend when she realizes a boy at school likes her a lot. But her older sister Alex is way ahead of her on knowing what she wants. And her younger sister Joey couldn’t be less interested in relationships. One very stormy night, the girls decided to make a wish. Alex wished that she would get the part in an upcoming play. Joey wished for good luck and Stevie wished that something new and exciting would happen to her. Find out if their wishes come true in Cloudy with a Chance of Boys by Megan McDonald.


I give this book 4 stars. It was really interesting and true to life! And it can be checked out…in our library!
