Cheryl Cole's biography

This book is what some one wrote about Cheryl Coles life. Firstly it talks about Cheryl Cole as a child and how when she was younger she wanted to be a dancer ( ballet dancer ). Then it talkes about Cheryl's mum who helped her start to sing and got her singing lessons, then as a result of all her hard work Cheryl had won a pop contest and Girls Aloud was a pop group. Girls Aloud were made up from this pop contest and they started to become very popular they also released lots of CDs.

Through this book there are lots of pictures of Cheryl Cole, her family and friends. I like this as it shows me what Cheryl Cole was like growing up and they are pictures I have not seen before as they have only been shown in this book.
As this book is all about the life of Cheryl Cole it is also about Girls Aloud and her marriage.

This biography shows the ups and downs of Cheryl coles life and how she coped through it all.


I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it 4.5/5 .

The summer I turned pretty by Jenny Han

The book I read was 'The Summer I turned Pretty' by Jenny Han. The story was about a young girl nicknamed Belly and her mum, they stayed at her mums friends summer house and Belly met some boys. The boys used to pick on Belly, but now they think shes really changed, much more grown up and pretty. The boys start to fall in love with her.

This book talks about her first kiss and the activties she enjoyed in the summer house e.g. late night swimming. Unfortunetly the boys mum gets Cancer and is very ill but doesn't show her emoutunes and carrys on as normal.
Bellys brother Steve, is good friends with the two boys, he also went to the summer house, while there dad stayed at home.

I really enjoyed reading this book, its a very girly, romantic, fun and enjoyable book. I would recomend this book to teenagers who like girly romance. I rate this book 4/5because sometimes i got a bit confused. But overall it was very good.
