Book Review for Book Nook: By Jaleesa
Leslie
Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not So Popular Party
Girl
Written by Rachel Renee Russell
This is my niece, Jaleesa Leslie and when not on the
tennis court playing in a match or training, she enjoys reading. Reading
has been one of her favorite past times for as long as I can
remember. She is currently reading the “Dork Diaries” series. Here is what
she has to say about “Tales From A Not So Popular Party Girl.”
“This book is about
a girl Nikki and her friends in their teens. One of them, Brandon has a crush on Nikki. Brandon and he
asked her to go to the dance with him, but Mackenkie, who is not Nikki’s friend cancelled the dance. She did that because she wants to dance with Brandon , Nikki’s crush.
Mackenkie is the president of the student body and she has the power to stop
the dance. Nikki and the rest of her friends will try to stop Mackenzie from
cancelling the dance".
“I
like this book because it is full of mystery and it is also funny. The book is
exciting, too! I like this book and all of them in the series. It is easy to read
and I read them at school when I finish all my work.
“I
would like to recommend this book and all in the series ‘Dork Diaries’ to all
teens, especially girls, who love to read.”

Coach Macci and Jaleesa
Two weeks ago, Jaleesa
went to Boca Raton , Florida for a three week tennis training
camp courtesy of the USTA. When she is not on the court she
will be reading one of her favorites from the "Dork
Diaries".
For Jaleesa,
reading and playing tennis will keep her focused on reaching her goal, which
she is not ashamed of revealing: "COLLEGE". That's what she has her
eyes set on and her parents will make sure they help her along the way and give
her all the support and love she needs.
Jaleesa is a
student at Wolf Lake
Elementary School in Apopka , Florida .
She is in 5th Grade and is an honor roll student.
Jaleesa is the grand-daughter of Laura Crawford of Crooked Tree Village, Belize and Mrs. Elsie Gentle of Belize City.
