Juggling With Mandarins
The book juggling with mandarins deals with a 12 year old boy named Pip whos dad is very competitive and expects Pip to be better than he is, a brother who treats Pip like a nobody and talk to him as if he is a litle child and most of all his love life, with the girl next door, his best friend Katie.
My favourite part of the book was at the very end when Pip was competing in the rock climbing competition. It was like his whole life was going the way he wanted it to go.His brother was treating him with respect, his father was proud of him and let Pip do a sport with out any competition, and Pip was doing something for himself for once not for anyone else around him.
I would have to say that Rob would have to be my favourite character in the book because he understands what Pip is going through and knows that Pip is doing rock climing for fun not for a competition. Rob is a kind caring person who respects peoples dicisions and shows Pip that he needs to do things for himself not a family member or a friend for himself.
I thought that by the end of the book Pip and Katie would be together but it turned out that they still werent talking and they acted as if they didnt even no each other.
I believe that book is called Juggling with Mandarins not only because Pip learns how to juggle but also through out the book he is juggling with problems in his life. He gets better at juggling so tries to juggle with more than two then when he juggles more balls more problems pop up that he has to deal with.
Hey Jordz
I agree with yur work. my favourite part was at the end of the rock climbing competion too. And i thought that the ending with Pip and Katie would be different. is it one of your favourite books? I thought it was a great book but it wasn’t really my style!
