I can still relate to this book as a students because I always have a though time reminding myself that my writing will be good if I write from the heart and stay original.

Review 2: The Best Story is about a little girl who finds out about a story writing contest and the winner get to ride a roller coaster with what happens to be her favorite author. There was a drawing for every story someone told. I loved how there was an illustration for each time she asked her siblings or her parents about something. It illustrations by Anne Wilsdorf were fantastic, she did a great job with each page. After hearing each input of her family members I actually wanted to see what the story would actually sound like all put together. Eileen Spinelli did a great job of keeping the attention of the reader. But something is missing, so then she starts over and writes a whole new story. Her sister then says there isn't any love or romance. She starts writing but then gets stuck and ask her little brother, who says 'The best stories,' said my brother Tim, 'have lots of action.' So then she writes more with a whole bunch of action. She is so excited to start her story, that as soon as she get home she starts brain storming! At first she can't really come up with anything so asks her parents for some help, they give her so many great ideas. An author Anne Miles is having a contest of who ever has the best story get to go on a roller coaster ride with the Author, who actually happens to be her favorite author.
