This month I read a book called The Last Fallen Star by Graci Kim. This book is about a girl named Riley Oh trying to get powers. She is trying to get powers from her sister Hattie. There are many struggles to life and Hattie has many of those kinds of struggles. So it’s kind of hard for her to just “share” or “give” powers to hey sister. Not just “hard” I’m saying that nobody has ever done it and they are trying to do something that is considered “impossible.” There is this thing called The Last Fallen Star and Riley has to find that star if she wants to have powers that aren’t given to her by anybody. As she keeps along with her mission to find The Last Fallen Star she find a lot of cool creatures but also interacts with a lot of enemies. It is a very fun adventure for her and Riley has to decide if she really wants to become a witch for the rest of her life and become apart of the witch family or stay and keep her life the way it is.
The Last Fallen Star is a good book I think you should read, let me give you a couple reasons why I liked this book. The first reason I liked this book is because it’s a very adventurous book about teenagers trying to find something and keep going in their journey to try finding something. Another reason why I liked this book is because Riley doesn’t know if she belongs. I like how there is a conflict with the main character and I love how it shows us what’s going on inside of her head.
My favorite character from this book is Riley Oh. The character trait I chose for Riley is determined. I chose this character trait because I feel like Riley is very tenacious when it comes to keeping up with trying to find the star. She always perseveres and never gives up. I have been trying to do that in life and try to not give up even if I’m really close to giving up so this is what I relate to. “Everyone Ready?” (Pg 43) is the quote I chose as my evidence. I chose this quote because It explains Riley is a persevering human being. It shows how when she was in her teachers class they were all packing up and then got ready to pack up. She was getting ready to go into the woods with one of her friends and is always very confident she is going to find there star every single day.
My favorite quote from this book was “Sorry for leaving you behind before” on page 118. I love this quote because it explains how this boy from her class was trying to help her find the star but then he left and wandered off. Riley got really scared and was all alone for a bit. He came back eventually and apologized about leaving her.
