Which one of the characters would make a good friend? Explain why you would pick them as a good friend. Give specific examples from the story.I would like to have Fred as my good friend. Fred is always funny and he is very intelligent. He is good in keeping secrets, so you can trust him. He gives good advices when you have an problem. Fred is very smart with computers. Examples from de story: Jess needs to send a photo to her French exchange partner, she thinks her

photo’s are ugly: Fred creates a whole new photo without Jess’s spots, plump up her lips and add a sparkle in her eye.

Jess meets her exchange partner, Edouard, he is little and he has a very big crush on Jess. So jess says to Fred: ‘try and look please to see me, from now we‘re officially going out together’, ‘ Do this one little thing for me, then win an Oscar!’ and Fred helps her again.

5 points E:If you could give any character in the novel a present to help them in the story what would you give them and why? Explain using details from the story how this would help the character.I would give all of the characters a raincoat. They are camping and it is raining cats and dogs. Because of the bad weather they decided to go home earlier. They were not prepared on rainy and cold weather.

10 points B:Write a letter to the author explaining your thoughts about the novel. What you liked, what you did not like and how you connected to the characters in the novel.

Dear Mrs. Limb,

My name is Lisanne Haak from the Netherlands. I had to make a book assignment and I choose one of your books (Girls 15, Flirting For England).I never read a book from you but after I read this one I will read more books from you.This book was funny, fascinating and it was quite familiar. I sympathized with Jess, I liked Fred, I felt sorry for Edouard, I didn’t liked Gerald.Even though I needed to go to sleep, I wanted to read more, so I read it secretly in my bed. The only thing I liked Jess was the many pages of the book (320 pages!). But I loved to read it!

Kind regards,Lisanne Haak
