Blogpost: “aces up”

                The book “Aces up” by Lauren H., is a story about Shannon card who is only seventeen years old. She is a senior in high school but notices that her dad is unable to pay for her college tuitions. So Shannon card gets a fake ID then works at a poker place as a waiter. She has kept it a secret from her family.

                I think that Shannon card shouldn’t have gotten a job this way. How long was she willing to keep this up? I know that her father has lost his job and his car but she should’ve at least spoken with her family. I feel like Robyn, Shannon’s sister will suspect her because Robyn saw her uniform. I don’t think that Shannon thought about how much trouble this can cause her!

                I am hoping to quickly finish the book and find out more about Shannon and her family. I want to see how she keeps her secret and pay for her college tution!
