Teegan's Book Report

The Quail Club

 The Quail Club by Carolyn Marsden is a book about friends. It is the 

story of a girl, Oy, living in the United States that came from Thailand.The story takes place at her school. It’s about a club that Oy and her friends are in. The name of the club is the Quail Club.

  At school there is  going to be a talent show. Oy is asked to dance with Liliandra, her friend from the club. Oy decides she wants to dance her Thai dance. Liliandra gets really mad that Oy doesn’t want to dance with her and kicks her out of the Quail Club. Now Oy has to find a way to get back into the club. The girls are all mean to her and won’t talk to her. Then Liliandra decides she doesn’t want to dance alone and asks Oy if they can dance the Thai dance together. Oy forgives Lilandra for being mean and gives her a second chance.  Oy and Liliandra decide to dance together. At the talent show Oy gets nervous. When it was their turn Oy is brave and dances beautifully. Liliandra and Oy got first place in the awards. 

I thought the beginning of the book was boring but then it got better and better. I liked the part when Oy overcame her nervousness. I learned that you should not be mean to your friends if they want to do something different then you, like dancing. I would tell a friend that this is a good book.
