The Secret Order Of theThe Gumm Street Girls
I just finished reading The Secret Order Of The Gumm Street Girls by Elise Primavera and I think it's a great book! It's about four girls, Cat, Pru,Franny and Ivy who go on an adventure. When a wicked witch, Cha Cha, tries to take a pair of ruby red slippers that don't belong to her, the four girls try to get them back before Cha Cha does something bad.
I think The Secret Order Of the Gumm Street Girls is a very good and detailed fantasy book. I really like that the author took the movie The Wizard Of Oz and incorporated it into the book. I think the author was very creative and she kept me at the edge of my seat making me want to read more and more. An example of that would be when you don't know if Cha Cha will get the other ruby red slipper with magical powers. I also really liked how this book is action packed. One of the reasons I really like this book is that there is something happening every second so I never get bored! I think this book is phenomenal, and so different from all the other fantasy books I have read.
I think the author added a moral to this book and that is don't hold grudges on people and give them another chance. This applies to the book because all of the four girls hated each other for something that they all did to each other in the past. They avoided each other until they all got thrown into this mission and they really got to know each other and at the end of the book they all became very close friends.

Talia, that was a wonderful response! You used a very large vocabulary, and I think your connections in this book are fantastic! I can tell you put a lot of deep thinking in this. Very nice work!
