I am reading the book Alphas. It is written by Lisi Harrison. I just finished the book. Throughout the corse of the book the main characters Skye, Allie J, Charlie, Renne, and Triple are taken on an exciting adventure during their stay at the Alphas Academy. These teenage girls are excepted into the elite Alphas Academy for girls with exponential talent. Skye is an excellent dancer. Allie J is a song writer. Charlie is a great inventor. Renne is an actress. Triple is a dancer, model, and actress. The girls are expected to hone in on their talents during their stay at the academy. Charlie has a big secret. Her mother worked for the founder of the academy, Shira, she was dating one of Shira's boys (which is forbidden for the girls at the academy) and she helped invent the island. She must keep all of it a secret. She isn't the only one with a secret, Allie J is really Allie A. Allie A Abbot impersonates Allie J Abbot and has to keep it a secret or risk being thrown out of the academy. The girls attend classes by day and sneak out to see Shira's boys at night. When Charlie steels a special key that allows the girls access to every place on the island they find themselves on a magical journey that lands them in Shira's office. Now they face being sent home.

I really enjoyed this book! I like the way it was written. Each chapter rotates from the point of view of each of the girls. This makes it interesting to read. I also like how real the characters become as they face many challenges. The author wrote the book to teach life lessons. To reach out to other girls and give them good advice, also to tell a great story. I think this was her motivation to write the book because as readers we learn many life lessons. The theme is never give up. Each of the girls face many challenges they must overcome. They must stay focused on their goals and let nothing stop them from achieving their goals.

The best character is Charlie. She is rejected by the other girls at first. She feels very alone and doesn't think her stay at the academy is worth leaving her mom, her boyfriend, and friends behind. She pushes forward and stay focused on her goals, and eventually she receives the girls' approval.

"If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you, no humility, no compassion." This is an important quote stated in the book. It goes along with the theme of the book. The girls each faced challenges and had to overcome them. The girls must struggle to appreciate their accomplishments. Their struggle makes them a better person.

I have no questions about the book.
