One, Two, Follow Through!: Starring Polly Pivot


Review: One, Two, Follow Through starring Polly Pivot - Mary Jacobs and Illustrated by Ron Noble - June 2021



Feeling a bit nostalgic lately and part of it too could be missing it from my old job, I have been reading and reviewing a handful of children's books. One, Two, Follow Through is written not only by a female championship golfer Mary Jacobs but also has the main character being a female golf player. Polly Pivot has been playing golf in some capacity ever since she was a baby and as she is getting older has only gotten better. Now that she's old enough, she gets to go to Golf camp and learn some new moves. However, the instructor is very old school and has the philosophy that you must act like a robot when you swing. Polly just can't get the hang of it and play golf like that. She heads home after a bad day and starts researching other successful sports heroes and realizes they all have one thing in common - the One, Two, Follow Through pattern. The next day she adapts it to her golf game and starts a new trend.  As my partner plays golf, I had a bit of prior knowledge of golf which made this more enjoyable. This book is written for ages 6-9 years and is a sophisticated picture book. This book teaches children all about how practice makes perfect and that if something doesn't work for you, don't give up as you may just find a new technique that works brilliantly, just like Polly Pivot.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
