Theme: Friendship
After you read my article about “Love
in Friendship”, you should read this also. It continues ‘till the end of my
article.
Now, I will tell you about the
friendship in novel entitle “Wonder Girls” by Jillian Brooks. Along I read this
book, I am happy and suddenly I cried at the end.
Wonder
girls are children’s book series consisting of eight volumes written by Jillian
Brooks. I have read this book when I was Junior High School grade 7th.
The
first volume is “The New Girl”. The story is about Traci McClintic has just
moved to wonder Lake with her family. Mother
who is a music schoolteacher, father who is a doctor works at a new clinic in Wonder
Lake and her older brother, Dave. Now she's a new girl and has to find a way to
make new friends at a new middle school, and face new challenges. A year older
than she is, Traci is looking forward to seeing Felicia, her summer friend, and
meets Amanda and they become friends but Arielle seems mean and selfish, but
she is not, when Felicia starts hanging out with Arielle and seems to be closer
to her, Traci doesn't know how to deal. It’s about a girl who moves to a new
place and has to cope with making new friends and having a mother as her homeroom
teacher. This becomes a struggle after she accidentally injures the most
popular girl, Arielle, during soccer practice. But despite the odds,
she's determined to make it wonderful!
Third is “Troublemaker”. It’s about Felicia doesn't like it that her dad is dating. It's weird! It's causing tension among her friends. If this keeps up, they won't be talking to each other at all! Can they fix things? Or is their friendship over?
Fourth is "And The Winner Is...".
Fifth is “Perfect Harmony”.
Sixth is “The Makeover”.
Seventh is “Birthday Blues”. It’s Felicia’s feeling that she can't believe that she is finally turning twelve. She is excited because her three best friends are coming to her party.
Eighth is”Growing Pains”. It’s about Amanda. She is devastated when she learns that the school board may cut funding for the art department. While encouraging the school board to change their minds, Amanda fights with her friends about how the money should be use.
There are four best friends in the series:
- Amanda: Begins going out with
Traci's brother Dave in "Growing Pains."
- Felicia: She doesn't like fighting
or getting involved. Father runs an animal shelter and mother owns a
bakery.
- Arielle: She is popular. Stubborn,
always needs to get her way, selfish but sometimes opens up a little.
- Traci: her character on the story was
seeing on her eyes. She moves from South Carolina with her brother Dave
and her mother, and her father.
Actually, this is a cool book. The
actors are so cool. I love Traci. She is
so awesome, Arielle is somewhat snobby, Felicia is quiet and Amanda is smart
enjoy! They fulfill each other everyday, although they have so many problems to
face. They become a real best friends since each of them realize their falls.
If I look at my real life, I have
close friends like them; I called them “SSB”. Don’t force me to say what is the
acronym, it’s rather disgusting but unique for me. SSB is consists of some of
my classmate, XI Science 6. I think we are rather close each other and we have
same feeling at that time, we share our problems, take photos together, until
that day come. We buy bracelet on a shop with Rp. 5.000,- to make sure that we
are really “SSB”. So funny! What a stupid thing! Our story is such a varieties,
that’s why I wanna share to you all about my relation with them! I love them.
Thanks for all your care, SSB. I love
you as always.
