Genre: a part of contemporary realistic, a part of show more fantasy. Because in our real life, a girl can be very creative and get along well with boys but at the end of story two boys made a rocket and went to starship Meggie Moon so I think the last part is sort of fantasy story.

This book is about two little boys who are best friends and love to play in a junk yard. When a little girl named Meggie wants to come play with them they say that girls can't. Throughout the course of a few days Meggie shows them that she can build incredible things out of the junk and they have a great time together. Then she tells them she has to go back home and she leaves them with a pile of new junk. After she's gone they turn that junk into Starship Meggie Moon.
Critique (Genre): This show more is a good example of realistic fiction if you view them flying away in the starship as in their minds. Many times boys have a tendency to think girls can't do what they can do, and it takes girls showing them that they can do the same things, sometimes even better for them to let girls in. Children are faced with using their imagination to come up with things to do on a daily basis and this book is a good example of that.
