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.
