Okay, tonight I'm going to post about my new storybook. the title is Girl's Best Friend and this book is written by Leslie Mangolis. Actually, this book is one of the storybooks I bought from Scholastic before my final exam but since I want to concentrate on my exam, I stop reading storybooks for a while. so, when my final exam end about two weeks ago, I started read Girl's Best Friend.
This books is about Maggie Brooklyn, 12, who work as a dog walker as her after-school job in her neighborhood, Park slope. her parents do not know about her job except her twin brother, Finn who help her to keep the secret on her after-school job. so, Maggie walk a few dogs only such as Preston and Bean. Actually, that is not the problem.
The real problem is dogs are disappearing all over Park slope, and it's up to Maggie Brooklyn to figure out what's going on. Maggie knows things. She notices details that other people miss. this is because she has a semisecret after-school gig as a dog walker. so, she is the perfect person to solve the mystery.
Unfortunately, Maggie is also the perfect person to help her ex-best friend, Ivy, recover her lost dog, Kermit. Maggie may not like Ivy anymore, but she's got nothing against Kermit. However, even though Maggie knows a lot about dogs, apparently she doesn't know anything about boys-because she never expected her cruse, Milo, could be involved...
This book is exciting and interesting because there is a sense of mystery and suspense in this story. plus, the sentences written by the writer is easy to understand. although this book may seem so childish, but the message shown is this story is good. for example, this book shows the message on friendship, love towards animals (dogs) and love towards family. additionally, this story also tells me that crime does not pay because in the end, the dognapper is caught and Maggie succeed in solving the mystery.I give this books 5 stars.
Thank you and Assalamualaikum...
