STAR STUDENT REVIEWS

PLAYING FOR KEEPS
by Nina Alexander.

The book is really a page turner; it's about romance when two teens are meant for each other and don’t know it themselves . The main characters' names are Claudia and Aaron.

The plot of the story is that Claudia and Aaron are not together because Claudia is trying to play soccer because its her favorite sport. Then she will realizes that the school has dropped the school soccer for girls in her high school and now she can't play soccer anymore.
She tries to think of ideas of how to bring back the soccer team back but none of them work. So she then tries out for the men's soccer team and her boyfriend does not want her to because they will make fun of him.

I think the theme of the story is about how a two teens try to be together but can't because of their different goals like Claudia really loves soccer and is willing to do anything to make her dream of being in the Olympics come true. I think that Aaron really cares about what the people say and think about him and Claudia is more carefree and determined for her goal.

I really like this story because it shows about romance and how their differences can take them apart and then put them together.
