My brief summary of the book
Summer is here, and Gemma is sad. Why? Her best friend Bronwyn has moved away. Her mom and dad tell her that she can go to her cousins in Canada by herself. So, she goes to the airport and catches a plane. She wonders if going to her cousins is worth it, and she tries not to be homesick. Will Gemma enjoy her time with her cousins?
My thoughts
This book (first in the series: My Country Cousins) was an easy read for me because I am almost 12 years old. But for a first chapter book for kids between 6 to 10, it will be perfect. It’s sweet and funny. The book is about friendships, family, and overcoming some challenges in life. Gemma is brave, and I like her a lot. Throughout the book, I imitate the British accent. Gemma is from Great Britain and goes to Canada for vacation. I even learned some different British words. It was fun. Also, I liked the word count at the end of each chapter.
