Rock Star Recess | Book Review

Rock Star Recess is vibrant, brilliant, imaginative and brings out your inner rock star to life! A truly great children’s book and a must read. – Momma Braga

Synopsis

School of Rock meets Fancy Nancy in this exuberant story about rock n’ roll dreams colliding with the reality of elementary school.

Elsie’s music class has played Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star too many times, and she wants to try something new. When her music teacher suggests she “rock on her own time,” Elsie devises a plan. It’s recess, and the playground will make a great venue. Soon she and her best friends are setting up a stage. In true rock-star fashion, their band enlists classmates to help with hair and makeup, special effects, and security. They even host a press conference and an autograph session! Elsie has thought of everything to throw the most epic of recess rock concerts . . . or has she?

#MelAndNikkiReview

Rock Star Recess truly brings out the inner rock star in all of us in this exciting new children’s book. This beautifully written and illustrated story will have you inspired to follow your dreams as anything is possible. Even during recess! 😉

There is a popular saying, “Love at first sight.” That is exactly what happened when we received this book. We fell in love with it before reading it. Then after reading it, we fell much more in love.

It brought forward imagination, creativity, childhood fun and inspiration. Three great friends get so caught up on being a rock star that they forget one important piece and thankfully they were inspired to rock on just in time!

For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 5 REBELLS out of 5! It rocked reading time and yes we did get up and dance as it inspired us to be our own music stars. The illustrations are captivating and truly brought this story to life.  It complimented the storyline beautifully and your young reader will love it.
