Yes, I am able to explain the book
-My Life In Pink And Green is about a girl named Lucy Desberg, She has a sister named Claudia, her mom Jane, and her best friend Sunny. She was a girl who didnt have that much money, so she had to work on the family's pharmacy. The pharmacy at first was very popular but then it wasnt. They needed each time more money. Their situation everytime became worse. They received letters telling them that if they didn't pay the taxes they wil be executed. One day Sunny told Lucy to go to a school activity, it was about reduce, reuse, and recycle club. Lucy didnt wanted to go but Sunny told her to please go, she didnt wanted to be alone there. She started liking it and she thanked her friend. She also had many ideas to help her family with their economic problem. One of her ideas was a relaxation room it didnt work the way she expected. She started thinking about more ideas. She was jealous about Claudia, because it was Claudia's birthday and she was going to a spa with her friends. The other day Claudia told her it was a great spa because a natural enviormental spa. She started thinking about this new idea claudia gave her, having recycle makeup, recycle elements etc... After she had all this ideas she definately wanted to creat the spa. Finnally she could acomplish her goal of making the spa. It was great. And one of the reasons she wanted recycle makeup is because she know lots of that and she knew how to put it on your body. Her spa was GREAT and recognize by the world!
Yes, I am able to make inferences
-When I saw the book cover I though she will have a spa from the beginning and saw the tittle I knew it would have something to have with recycling.
-When I read the summary of the back I saw that Lucy was very popular, and I knew it would have somethings about makeup.
-When I read the first chapter I though she didnt have that much money, and she needed to find things for help. quote: "Besides,i dont usually read the mail; i just open it and put it in a neat pile. but today big, bold, black letters catch my eye: THREE DELINQUENT MORTGAGE PAYMENTS. my throat start to feel like its getting tighter and tighter, almost like its closing up. and my heart starts beating fast and furios, when it was beating calmy just a second ago." (i think this concludes to my inference because the letter is saying like they need to pay. so when she starts feeling like that is because she knows they dont have the money.)

Yes, I can determine the challenges the character in my book face and how they respond to them
-When Lucy was in economy crisis she needed to determine what she will do to help her family. And she faced the problem very good, her ideas sound right but the best one is the spa it was so good that the world recognize it. The challenge was very difficult because it was a economy crisis very bad. Her response to the problem was very good because she found a great solution and she kept working.

Yes, I can describe who is narrating the book
The book is narrated by the main character (lucy). I think that that if the narrated change to be lucy's grandma the book will change a lot. Because her grandma thinks of the problem in a different way. She thinks of it as a very big problem they thinks the should sell their house, that lucy and claudia (lucy's sister) should get out of school for some time to recollect money. But lucy didnt do that and she helped them with the spa. Or if jane (lucy's mom) would be the narrator the book wouldnt change too much because the way lucy and jane think is very similiar. Both of them in the book think the same. That instead of selling their house they looked for ideas that could solve their economic problem. qoute: "Lucy why dont you go with me to the earth club? said sunny. I didnt want to, but I say yes because I know sunny need me there. I respond." (I knew it was narrated by lucy because sunny ask her something and she respond not someone else saying she respond that.)
