 Here’s Stella’s book review, an example of what is expected J 

 Book title:  Telesa (Book 1) 

Author:  Lani Wendt Young 

Fav character:  Leila Folger 

Why? – Leila’s my favorite character because she’s funny and she never gives up when she wants to do something.  She cares about her family and always tries to do what is right.  She protects the people she loves.   

Tell us about the book:  Telesa is about a girl named Leila Folger that goes to Samoa, in search of a place to belong to, to learn more about her mother that no one ever talks about.  It’s a novel that talks about love and how Leila discovers powers she never knew existed within her. It is a really good fiction book and I recommend it for people who would like to learn about Samoa and enjoy reading dystopian stories with Pasifika characters.
