[1/5]
Oh my GOD. We had to read this book for German class. It's so horrible. Just everything about this book is bad. It's basically opposite Pobre Ana (German girl goes to America instead of American girl going to another country). Every single thing was over-described. The only conflict was resolved in two sentences. It was just a whole mess.

Der Titel des Buches lautet “Petra Reist Nach Kalifornien". Der Autor dieses Buches ist Blaine Ray. Das Genre des Buches ist Fiktion. Das Thema des Buches besteht darin, jeden so zu behandeln, wie man behandelt werden möchte, auch wenn er nicht der netteste zu einem ist. Petra ist ein 15-jähriges Mädchen aus Deutschland, das als Studentin nach Kalifornien geht Austauschschüler. Sie lebt bei einer sehr netten amerikanischen Familie.In der Schule trifft sie ein gemeines Mädchen – Debbie.Petra findet Debbie in einer gefährlichen Situation. Petra hilft Debbie, das Problem zu lösen. Dieser Vorfall und das, was danach passiert, betrifft beide sehr. Man sollte aus dieser Geschichte lernen, den Menschen immer zu helfen. Ich habe mich für dieses Buch entschieden, weil mir das Cover gefallen hat. Ich würde diesem Buch 4 Sterne geben. Es war ziemlich gut, aber sehr jung.

This book was just really bad. It was like Pobre Ana but instead of an American girl going to a different country, it was a German girl going to America. It's basically opposite Pobre Ana. There was only oNE problem in this book and it was resolved in an instant. Why does this book exist?

Great book for learning German, but the plot was predictable.

Fantastic for beginners in learning German. I found it easy enough to understand without being too complicated for a limited working proficiency in German.
