Reading Response

Book: Lemonade Mouth

Genre: Chapter Book

Text: Literary

I am about a quarter of a way through a book called “Lemonade Mouth” which is written by Mark Peter Hughes and was published in 2007. The book is about five kids who formed a band to overcome their struggles in high school.

An example would be when Stella the main character was told that she and her family were going to have to move from Arizona to Rhode Island I knew how it felt because I had to move from city to city a lot. I moved from Thompson, MB to Markham, ON and I was really scared because I wasn’t sure if I would make new friends. Stella was also afraid about if she would make friends or not. She was really angry at her parents which shows that moving can be hard. I was kind of ready because I have moved a lot.

Another example of this would be when the five main characters transitioned from elementary school to high school and had to make new friends. Stella felt very angry for having to start high school in a different city where she had no friends. This situation is sometimes very hard for some kids but we would have to learn how to overcome this.

It can feel a little like readers are left in the dark, the characters know more than you do. The role of the reader is really just a fly on the wall, observing the discussion of topics that are not given enough context to understand in full. This burning curiosity and naivety experienced by the reader are shared by another character in the book, one who could very well represent these feelings, Riri. Story is not finished when
