Book Report Part 2

In the second half of the book, all of the loose ends were tied up. We learned about Leo’s dad’s sister, Rosaria. None of the family talked about her anymore because it is too sad. She ran away from home when she was little and never spoke to anyone again. Grandma and Leo’s dad were starting to open up and talk about her more.
Leo also learned a few lessons. He learned that it’s always best to tell the truth. He was tapping in his dad’s tap shoes and reading his autobiography without him knowing. At the end of the book Leo ends up getting them from his dad.
I would give this book an 8 on a scale of 1-10. This book was better at the end. This book had very short chapters, which I liked. This book was very easy to understand. It wasn’t a book that had lots of flashbacks. I would recommend this book to others. It wasn’t a book that just bored you to death. It really kept me reading with the short chapters. People who wouldn’t like this book would look for a mystery, adventure or history.
Leo had to make a few choices. One was that he had to figure out whether or not to tell his dad that he stole his tap shoes and autobiography. I don’t agree with this. I would ask my dad before I took their stuff. I might have made the same choice though. Even though it wasn’t right, Leo wanted to figure out more about his dad and his past.

  1. It sounds like a good book. I liked how you gave your opinion about what you would do. Good job.

  2. It seems you must have gotten desperate in paragraph 2 - lots of repetition...
