Page	What the author tells us	How I think the character is   feeling (reading between the lines)

16	First there's the slow-motion stage ,when the ball seems to hang in the air..	I thank Grace feels sad because She's always the last one there.
18	I leapt to feet.There was the ball, Hanging high in the sky	I think Grace felt scared frightened
19	“No,” I whispered.Justin had whacked An enormous hit,right out to the boundary .	I think Grace felt brave to catch the ball
19	Emma was running as fast as she could.”Get out of the way,”	I think Grace  ignored Emma for calling her an idiot
