Allie, First at Last



Name of Reviewer: Sindhu
Title of Book: Allie, First at Last
Author of Book: Angela Cervantes
# of pages: 200
# AR points: 6.0                                             RL: 4.4
            Everyone in Allie’s family is the first at something- Her Bisabuelo was a WW2 hero that won a Congressional Honor Award, her 4th grade younger sister is a TV star, and her brother is a soccer prodigy; But Allie isn’t the first at anything, let alone having earned an award. I loved this book because it shows Allie’s determination to make her family proud by winning an award. If I were the author, I wouldn’t change any part of this book because Allie, her family, and the events are described with high quality and is very descriptive. If I were a character in Allie, First at Last, I would not have solved the problem any differently because even though Allie didn’t get any award, the story taught a meaningful lesson in the end. If I could pick one juicy word to describe Allie, First at Last, it would be determined because Allie’s perspective has a strong-willed aura throughout the story. This book is a great read for everyone everywhere.
