Tom's mom
I think it's important for teenagers to learn how to cook, Maths and English are important, of course, but they need other skills too to help them in today's world. First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips. Then he started using recipes in my cookery(烹饪) books. Yesterday he made vegetable soup. It was very good!
love cooking and I think I'm rally good at it. None of my friends cook. I don't know why. It isn't difficult and it's great fun!

There are many fights in this thick book that you would see in a good action movie, In fact, the book has been made into a movie,but I’m just not interested.How would I enjoy the movie when the book didn't touch my heart at all?
I don't mind reading about bad guys in a story. In fact,I don't enjoy a book that has only good people who never do anything wrong, because it's just not real life. But Lyle Heaton goes to far this time. I've read Heaton's other books, and he is very good at writing about bad guys, but what is he trying to tell us by letting the bad guys in this book win everything in the end?
Besides, you always have to guess who the “I” in the book is. Heaton changes it so often that sometimes you just don't know who is speaking.
You might feel a lot of things when you read Purple Star, but believe me, joy wouldn't be one of them.
