Julie: an American Girl

The Julie series is what I have been reading lately. Here are the summaries of each of them:

Meet Julie: Julie had to move. She didn't want to move. She already had problems in her world but now has to move. Her parents are divorced and she missed seeing her dad. When she moves to her new school she meets a new friend, T.J. As soon as she hears that there is a school basketball team she is really excited. Then when she goes to tryout and sign up she can't... cause she's a GIRL! What does she do?

Julie Tells Her Story: Julie gets assigned a project for school where she is supposed to tell the story of her life. One of the assignments is the worst thing that ever happened to her. Her parents' divorce was the worst thing that ever happened. She decides that she doesn't want to tell her class that. Once she breaks her finger she thinks she can put that instead. What does she decide to do?

Happy New Year Julie: Julie's parents are divorced and it is Christmas! Christmas for Julie won't be the same this year. Worst of all, Julie's sister, Tracy, won't come to her dad's house for Christmas! Julie's friend's family invited Julie's WHOLE family to come to a Chinese New Year feast! Will this make things worst for Julie's family? Or will it bring them closer together?

Julie and the Eagles: One day when Julie and her friend, Ivy, are in the park they find a baby owl. When they take the owl to the rescue center Julie sees Shasta and Sierra, Bald Eagles. Hopefully they will be able to fly in the wild one day, and so can their babies. But with Shasta's injured wing and lack of money how can they? Can she tell people and help them understand? Or will Shasta and Sierra and their babies have to stay in a cage the rest of their life.

Julie's Journey: Julie joins a wagon train to celebrate America's 200th birthday. She is excited about riding a horse but her cousin's horse is scary. Her cousin, April, starts making fun of her but when she can make a historic value she notices there is only one way to get it. That is on horseback.

Changes for Julie: Julie gets detention and realizes there is better things to do in detention then writing sentences. When she decides to run for student body president, so she can change detention, she has problems. Her friend, Joy, is running for Julie's vice president, and Julie notices that people are being mean to Joy and not voting for her cause she is deaf. What will Julie do?

Good Luck, Ivy: When Ivy has a gymnastics competition she gets nervous. She had bad experiences with the balance beam before. Worst of all, her family reunion is on the day of the competition. What will she do?
