My Life as a Blundering Ballerina: 13

This book was hilarious! All the crazy, and funny "McDoogle mishaps" kept me turning every page until the book was done! I read this book in less than a day and I am here to tell you that it was the greatest! My favorite character was "Collision" the cat! He gets into his own silly mishaps too! This book was funny, but it also taught a very important lesson that I think kids and adults need to learn in these times when people are confused about their gender and gender roles. This book teaches that Jesus created boys and girls to be exactly the way they are supposed to be, which is different. We aren't created equally, we are created different. Boys and girls have it tough and they have it easy at the same time. One is not better than the other. If you were born a boy, that's who God wanted you to be and that's perfectly OK. Jesus loves you just the way you are, no need to prove that you're better than anyone else. You are just perfect the way God made you. I recommend this book for parents to read with their children because there is a great lesson in this book that parents can talk about with their kids. I am 10 years old and I'm writing this review for my home school summer reading program and I really liked this book and I also want whoever reads this to know, Jesus loves you. He made you perfectly perfect!

I love all the books in this series. They are funny and easy to read and each book is a story in itself. I am collecting them all and have read about 10 or so. This is a great book for grades 4-6.

Wally McDoogle gets into one scrape after another, always causing catastrophe after catastrophe. Now, he's been tricked into switching roles with one of his best friends, a girl named Wall Street. Unfortunately, during that period, a major football game takes place and the ballet "The Nutcracker" opens. Wally has to play Wall Street's part as the Sugar Plum Fairy, while Wall Street has to take his place in the football game.Of course, numerous other major catastrophes occur as well, during those 72 hours.One thing kept occurring to me. No matter what his sex is, if one is thrown into ballet or any other activity he is unfamiliar with, he will face a much harder time than someone who has practiced it for a long time. So if a boy doing ballet and a girl playing football switched places, they would both find it a lot harder.There was a story in the story, a story Wally was writing about a superhero. I liked how Wally's superhero sometimes took on a life of its own, talking back to Wally and not doing what Wally wanted. I hear that real writers have that experience all the time.In reading the well-known, oft-repeated dialog "Is too." "Is not." et al., I was reminded of the March of the Peers in "Iolanthe" by Gilbert and Sullivan. One faction of the peers (the tenors) shouted "Tan-tan-ta-ra!" while the other faction (the basses) countered with "Tsing boom!"

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT WALLY AND HIS FRIEND,WALL STREET.WALLY SAYS THAT IT'S HARDER BEING A GUY,BUT WALL STREET THINKS THE OPPISITE.THEN,ANOTHER MCDOOGLE MISHAP BEGINS!THIS BOOK IS VERY HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

I read the book, My Life an a Blundering Balernina. If you didn't, then please do. It's so funny!

Join Wally McDoogle as he and his best friend, a girl, trade positions for 72 hours after arguing who it was harder to be. Great plot, setting, charecters, and legnth This was one of the best and funniest books I've read! Anyone who hasn't read it should!
