One day Annie found a carrot flower it sounds weird but it was really beautiful. She wants to know from who the flower was. All the boys in the competition are in love with her. She wants to find out whether the boys are interested in her for the money or for her character. Every day the Boys have an assignment they have to do for Annie. After each week Annie decides who has to leave the house. She bases this on those assignments. In the end only Simon, Leo and Annie remain.

She packs her bags and leaves.a Leo was allowed to say one last thing to Annie. Leo said: “I love you”. So in the end Leo and Annie win because they fell in love with each other.

4. Think of five possible different titles for the book. Every time explain why you
think this is a good title for the book:
* Money for romance: You got money if you got a romance. And if you short it you got: Money for Romance.
* Fake or Take?: Annie and the other people in the house wants of course a romance but isn’t it fake, or have you to take the boy that wants you.
* Who loves?: In the story people wants to love other people in the house but who really loves and who is lying?
* The camera looks at you…: Every time there is a camera around Annie and you can’t say everything if everybody can see it. She has always to think “the camera looks at me” so therefore I chose this title
* Only one house: There is only one house where she is, and she can’t go out that house.

5. With which animals do you identify the different characters in the book? Explain why.
* Annie is a cat because everyone likes her but she does her own things.
* Leo is a monkey because he is always laughing.
* Nigel is a worm because he doesn’t have a strong character.
* Simon is a peacock because he is proud of himself.
* Pete is a dog because he likes to help people
* Big Eye is an owl because he knows everything about the people in the house.
* Violet Carlton is a bird because she flies to the leaving people.

2. Make a new flap-over of the book so that you immediately can see what the book is about. At the back you write a blurb (briefly write down what the story is about).
I´ll give this at Monday´s lesson. Because I can´t scan the drawing.
