Meet Julie By:Megan Mcdonald When I saw the book I decided to read it because I had read other other American Girl books in the past, so i thought it would be similar to the other ones.I thought it would be about Julie and her adventures in San Francisco.It was a little less what I expected it to be.It does not feel the same in some ways.Like they traveled a lot also Julie was a tom boy and liked basket ball. This fiction book is about Julie Albright and all of her adventures when she moves away from her best friend Ivy and her bunny Nutmeg.In the end Julie wants to be on the basket ball team but there is only a team for boys.She tells her dad but he dosent like the idea. She than tells her mom who thinks it isn’t fair that she can’t play to.The reason I liked this book is because, I feel like Julie didn’t want to give up on trying to do what she loved.She is also a smart ciourious girl.She expresses herself in playing basket ball.I highly sugest that people who are about 12 and younger should read this book if they want to learn about chalenges and adventures in other peoples point of view. Meet Julie was a fabulous book. I loved reading this book not only because we have the same name or because I used to love American girl dolls but I loved Julie’s story. What I loved and what made this book interesting was Julie told her own story. Julie telling her story makes readers connect more with the story. Also what made this story, throughout this novel, was Julie going through many different obstacles. From her parents getting a divorce to Julie leaving her best friend and bunny to moving schools to not being able to be put on the boys basketball team, Julie has gone through tough times. The overall theme of this story is determination. Julie is determined to try everything she can to make herself happy. With being in a new school, without her best friend, Julie faces hard times. Her teacher is very strict and people at school already know about her problems at home so they make fun of her every chance they get. When she finds out that she loves basketball but the coach tells her there are no spots on the team for girls, she was determined to prove everyone wrong. She wanted to show everyone that girls are just as good as anyone else. From learning about title IX and getting 150 signatures on a petition, the coach still rejected her from the team. However, after Julie went to the principal, the coach finally let her play. She also is determined to keep a long distance friendship with Ivy. They are determined to make their friendship last forever and never let distance stop it. Nothing stops Julie and that is exactly what I loved about this book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

It's a little weird to have a historical character that's a decade younger than my parents, but at the same time it's surprising to realize things like Ms. as a widespread honorific and Title IX are relatively recent things within the last 50 years. Julie is also AG's proxy for talking to kids about divorce- something socially unacceptable in prior periods. I'm interested to see where this goes. ( )
