Lots of neat stuff in this book.
I read this book while visiting my aunt. She gave it to my sister for Christmas. I give the book five stars because there are many good lessons kids can get from Kayla besides just enjoying the book.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Dance, Kayla (Hardcover)
I read this book while visiting my aunt. She gave it to my sister for Christmas. I give the book five stars because there are many good lessons kids can get from Kayla besides just enjoying the book. Kayla was brave and funny. I liked the other people in the book a lot. I am a boy and don't usually read girs's books but Kayla had a lot for boys to read about.She had a lot of courage and worked for what she wanted. Lots of girls and boys don't have daddys and could see how Kayla did okay even if her daddy didn't come home yet.

This review is from: Dance, Kayla (Hardcover)
Dance, Kayla! starts out as Kayla does--full of promise. Kayla's life on her grandparents' farm is interesting as are the people in her life, but the story slows down when she reaches the big city. While the characters were sometimes flat, the story fills an important function in that it shows the strength of an extended African American family. It also serves to inspire young girls of color to follow their dreams, no matter how many roadblocks stand in their way.

This review is from: Dance, Kayla! (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for blended families. The author did a great job showing how the family accepted a niece, cousin and howshe adjusted with the new family life. The book also portrayed how the young lady was persistant in pursuing her dancing career. |
