Choice Book Report: Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks

       I read the book Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks. Carly and Anna are sisters that live a privilege life down in Georgia. Attending one of the most private school, Hollyreemer and able to get any thing they want. Carly is the oldest of the two. She is different from her high classed family not wearing the regular expensive clothes instead the most unusual. Having different taste in things like music and not caring if other people liked it or not. She also wants to be a great role model for Anna her younger sister and care for her as much as she can. Although Anna is being treated like the old sister not maturity wise but doing all the thing Carly should be doing before her. Carly gets back from summer camp spending all weeks in the woods doing stuff like hiking for hours, not caring what she was wearing or how she smelled and looked. She realizes that there is more than being pretty. Carly branches out becomes what she wants to be, different from everyone else not like the girls at her school. After they start school problems start occurring everywhere with Anna. Being caught looking at photos that are not allowed on the school's website, not being able to do a lesson in gym class that makes her end up with an F. Along with her new figure that make girls jealous because guys like her more and teachers who treat her worse than everyone else because how other people treat her with her new body. Carly becomes friends with a girl named, Vonselle and they become very close and she forgets about spending time with her Anna. Anna feels like she is being left out from her sister which makes her angry that Carly is not putting any effort to bond with her. The two slowly start to grow apart. While her parents are away for the weekend a party starts at their house. Everybody is drinking including Anna there is chaos everywhere. She yells at Anna for letting everybody while she is still drunk and makes her feel terrible. Anna runs away and the next day Carly looks all around the neighborhood and her ginormous house until she find her crying on the corner of the street. Carly's worriness makes her realize how much she still cares for her sister and only wanted to protect her. She never meant to hurt her either. They reunite because they know they will always love each other no matter what happens.
                                                                   Part Two
      
       I would recommend the book Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks. It tell of the bond of two sisters that for one is always trying to help the other out. I liked it because Carly and Anna live like royalty but it makes things just as hard for them. With their parents always trying to change them and make them be what they want them to be. Carly and Anna always help one another get through something or stand up for one another which is something that everyone should do for each other. This is a good book for older sisters. Even though your younger sibling might drive you insane to the point where you do want to be the older one anymore you should always look after the sibling and that is what Carly does. Anna's problems drive her to the point where she wants to quit the job of being the older sister and she drifts apart from her. Until Anna gets into a crazy situation that could put Carly in trouble with her. She has to help but she ends of saying some very hurtful things to Anna that makes her run away. When Carly can't find her she get extremely worried and realizes how much she actually cares for her and would never want her to leave. Also for younger sisters because all they want to be is like their older sister. Anna who only wants to be like Carly because she looks up to her and believes she is a good role model. When Carly meets a new friend that she spends more time than with Anna. It makes her feel like she doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. But, all Anna wants to do is spend time with her because she wants to be more like her. When Carly pushes her away and says how bad she is, it makes her feel like she'll never become like what Carly is and just from it coming out of her makes her feel even worse. It's only natural for the younger siblings to look up to the older one and wish to be just like them when they grow up. I liked this book also because no matter what, Carly and Anna always made up with each other which showed just how much they loved each other and wanted the best for one another.
