Skateboard Sibby by Clare O'Connor
1.0

God did I hate Sibby. Worst kid character of all time. Not that she isn’t really well done, that was alright, it just her personality that I found irritating. The story was too light for me, there is way too much useless dialogue and the writing style can of try to imitate real life talking or thinking. And this kind of writing is just a bad example to show to kid who learns to read and write, in my very personal opinion. I also found some sentences that just make any sense and look like the author was trying to stretch her book or her story. Here is an example, at some point Sibby says: «... I was thinking for myself.» Who the hell thinking for someone else then themselves, that the, meaning of thinking, something you do in your head for yourself. Anyway, if you read that far, you probably already get that I didn’t like this book!
