One of my favourite series of books is The English Roses by Madonna. I recently read one called “Big Sister Blues”.

The 5 main characters in this book are Grace, Amy, Binah, Nicole and Charlotte. They are The English Roses. Grace likes to play soccer. Amy enjoys designing clothes. Nicole is super smart. Binah likes to draw and Charlotte loves acting.

The story takes place mainly at the circus but also the school and the hospital. Amy’s family went to the hospital when her mom was having a baby. She was going to be a big sister again! She already has a little sister.

The main point of this story is that Amy thought that if her mom had a baby then she would not have time for her. It all started when her mother said she can’t go to fall fashion week in Milan. She was really looking forward to it. At the end Amy’s mom was back on schedule and still had time for Amy.

In the story I learned that you should welcome new family members into your family or else they won’t feel good. You never know how a family member is going to be like.

In this book I liked that at the end the baby was so cute. The baby had red curly hair just like Amy. The roses said the baby was a sixth rose. There were 5 English Roses. Now they were welcoming a new rose.

I would recommend this book to you because it teaches you a lesson and it encourages you to have more experience with little kids.
