End of Book

Only the Best

By: Beverly Lewis

Along with my harder books that meet my level of reading I always enjoy reading an extra book from a younger age on the side. This week I read “Only the Best” by Beverly Lewis. I really enjoy this book because I like how at the end everything works out so great. I also enjoy how well the author shows the main character, Jenna, transferring from one emotion to another and the author does a great job of showing how Jenna grows as a person.  At the beginning of the story Jenna, a dedicated gymnast, finds out her parents are adopting a baby. She feels gloomy and jealous.  And worst yet they have to go pick up the baby on the day of the biggest meet of her life; at the Olympic Training Center. Throughout the book Jenna gets used to the idea and when Jenna sees all the stuff for the baby and a picture her heart melts. I LOVE reading books over and over because each time you notice something new that makes all the difference in the book. Also, if you are reading it at different ages, you pick up a different and more matured conclusion every time.
