Check out this stellar book! ... This book takes place in Quiver, Oklahoma, 1961. In the beginning Frannie and her friends want to start 8th grade off with a totally blow-out party. When they are planning the party they agree to invite the whole 8th grade to it. But they reconsider when Celeste Chisholm comes to Quiver from St. Louis. Celeste is the first Negro to attend Quiver Junior High. Everybody ignores Celeste except for Frannie. Frannie really gets to know Celeste when they are assigned to a vocal ensemble together. Frannie soon becomes best friends with Celeste and the two girls practice singing together in an old playground rocket ship. From there they make it their special Star Place and they develop an inseparable and unbreakable friendship. Soon Frannie finds out some secrets of Celeste's. Including the reason Celeste really came to Quiver. Frannie and Celeste share everything together and Frannie knows some of it won't turn out good . . . . This book was OK. It got a little interesting in the middle but it never got more interesting than that. I wouldn't recommend this book, and with a rating from 1 to 10, I'd rate this book a 6 because it didn't particularly catch my interest very much. This book was slow reading for me because of how little it interested me.

The Starplace:

She lives in a small town called Quiver in Oklahoma.The setting is mainly in the old crickety rocket in a dry field and also outside.

Then after that Celeste and Frannie became friends. Then they had an adventure and Frannie was going to try on some Bangle Bracelets that were in a cave. Read the book to find out is Frannie gets out of the Bracelets.

So Refreshing:
I picked up this book that were layed on a counter in the office after I had won King Labs student of the week award. I picked it up because reading books about friendship are so interesting to me. But I didn't think that the book was going to be that great. But by the time I finished reading it I fell in love with this book. I guess its because I love the two main characters.I mean living in a time period where there are so many issues between the different races of people in america is hard on a friendship where they are not of the same race. But the two girls don't let that stop them from becoming the best of friends.There are no flaws.The end of the book kind of suprised me but later It made more sense. Read this book because I know that you'll love it as much as I do and many of the other people who have read it.

It gets an A.:

It tells what life could have been like for people living in the time. The characters seem very realistic. It is easy to read but very exciting and if you like those kinds of books, you will like this book.

A Friendship Review:
The book, The Starplace is an awesome book that explains the friendship between a black girl and a white girl. A girl named Celeste moves to Quiver, Oklahoma. Frannie is a white girl who has a lot of friends where she lives. We can learn a lot from the friendship of Celeste and Frannie. We can learn that it doesn't matter if you're blue, green, yellow, pink, or even striped to have a friend. Celeste and Frannie had a powerful friendship, but the people of the town really wanted them to not be friends. They stood by each other every inch of the way. I really love this book because I can relate to this book. I can because I have a black friend, I even have black friends.
