Name of the book:High School Musical  'Poetry in Motion'

Summary of the book: This book is about Seven high school kids trying to make it through High School It starts off when they all are in their English class and the teacher is boring them to tears when she decides to give them a new task to do. They all think its really cool at first but then she tells them what to do. They have to stand up in front of the whole school and read out a poem that they have to make up first and what makes it more worse is that there is going to be a professional poet who is going to grade them on their work.Troy, Chad , Zeke , and Jason are worried because they can't think of anything that will inspire them to write! Luckily Gabriella and Taylor agreed  that they would help them when Troy writes a poem about his skateboard and characterises it as a girl and Gabriella thinks its about a different girl than her and she gets really angry at Troy. In the end they all make really good poems and the proffesional poet is really impressed with them.

Ratings out of ten: I would give this book 4 out of ten because  I thought it was really predictable and I didn't really like it.

If I was stranded on a desert island the book I'd bring would be The Roald Dahl Treasury.

I would bring this book because if I was scared or worried or sad It would always have a story, Rhyme or Picture to cheer me up!!.
