 Hilarious, intriguing, captivating, mysterious, exciting, drama!! Every single one of these words describes our favorite book, Dear George Clooney Please Marry My Mom.

 This book is about a girl named Violet whose dad left the family to start fresh with another wife and brand new children. Violet will never forgive him. Meanwhile Violet’s mother is heartbroken so she dates a man named Dudley Wiener. Violet thinks her mom deserves better, and she thinks George Clooney is the man. Can Violet get a hold of George Clooney? Is he the right man?…..Or is there some one else out there who is perfect for her mom?

 Realistic fiction because it’s like you’re in the book.

 Violet, Rosie, Ingrid, Karen, Amanda, Ian, Dudley, Jennica, Phoebe, Lola, and Lucy and Ashley.

 1  2  3 1/2  4  5  We chose a 3 ½ because there are some challenging words but there are some text clues and text evidence.  Example: “painted aubergine which is a fancy word for eggplant which is a fancy word for purple.”Do you see how it breaks the word down so we know what it means.

 Dear George Clooney Please Marry My Mom setting takes place in Vancouver, Canada, and LA California. Violet, and Rosie switch off to see both their mom and dad.

 Abby Fried’s sister told us about it. We then found it in the bookstore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 We loved it’s hilarious language use!!!!

 We would have changed some of it’s mature language use. Overall though we loved the book so the language use didn’t really matter.
