She won all the races that she entered and beat the school record. All that work has paid of though because she made it into the championships. But at the last minute before her most important race, Pam and Brittany ,the friends she met along the way, offered Kate an illegal blue pill. Speed. The real thing! Will Kate do the right thing and not take the pill. = personal response = I like the book because it goes two ways. its great because it asks you what you would do. I like Kate's mum because she is always trying to help Kate to make the right the decision. I learnt not to take drugs. I noticed that Kate always wanted to do her best in everything and be a good friend. I thing this is a good book because it gives you a good lesson. I recommend this book. If I were Kate I would not take the pill and I would try to help her friends who were going to keep on taking drugs. I think the swimming pool setting is very important because thats were she swam all her races and the changing rooms because thats where she took the pill. The character I most admire is kates mum because shes very brave because shes lost her husband and she has the guts to confront her daughter about it.

=my writing= On a Saturday morning getting up with a grumble I stand at the doorway staring at the organized room. The desk is packed nicely and all in order except for the piles of teddies and dirty, chewed up bones. Under the freckled desk, there lays a beanbag sometimes hidden when a white, silky, blanket is pulled over.

When im walking back to bed, too tired to stand any longer,the black, fluffy cat elegantly struts in and disappears into the hidden lair. I begin hearing her crunching her hard cat food. Smelling the sweet morning grass coming in from my clear open window, I hear the dog whining to get in.

The walls are hidden behind certificates and ribbons that I have won in the past, with a little hung up house holding all the shiny medals. Sweet and soft goes the radio singing all my favorite songs.
