Every year since she was born, they would go to either Disney World or Land. She would stand in long lines up to 4 hours just to see a princess. On page 11 it says " My family always took a yearly trip to Disney World ... spend a lot more time in LA, we go to Disneyland instead." In this website of pictures, it shows Maddie with her sister and friends at Disneyland, https://www.fantasticoh.com/beep?id=7dd0a0d69ff844e0.

Maddie being a year older always had the responsibility to watch and care for her younger sister and set good examples. Maddie knew how to do a lot more than Mackenzie and she needs to always help her with everything. Even when things were not fair Kenzie would be the one to get her way. The book states, "like I used to teach her ABC's ...to respect that everyone is unique in their own way". My sister probably relates to Maddie here because she is older than me and she knew how to do everything at my age while I can hardly make the perfect cereal.

Maddie has been over spoiled with L.A. malls and food. When she goes to her hometown in Pitsburg, the clothes are all ugly. She is home schooled now and still does all her work. The biggest reason is because people always want to get her autograph. On page 89, it says "I'm homeschooled but I take tests and write papers and usually spend four hours a day during the school year working with my tutor."

Maddie wasn't a good dancer when she first started. She worked for hour every day for many years and finally became good at it. When she realized she was famous it was hard to go to school or shop because thousands of fans would come. On page 46, it says "I was not a good dancer... I didn't want to be in the background... she can sit and watch in the back."" In this website http://dancemoms.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramid, Maddie wins the top of the pyramnid 64 out of 138 times, a little under half, but the average girls per season is 9, meaning she was really good. To be the top usually means you won first place solo. As Maddie got older she was absent lots of times because of music videos.

After every chapter Maddie always answers peoples notes or letters or text people all around the world and gives them her piece of mind. Most are about how they aren't talented or how they also have dance but their teacher hates them. Some people ask more personal questions about their family and Maddie always tries answering them. In chapter 7, it says "'It feels like everything I try, I fail at'.... "'People aren't always good at something right away... I believe that you can achieve anything if you work hard at it.'" (152) Many people all around the world can give good advice, But I cannot, I can't give someone advice because I like to watch drama happen, so my advice isn't good. I especially can't help when someone is crying, I hold my breathe so I don't laugh, I try not being rude.

Kenzie her younger sister says Maddie thinks she is aways right. She will go above and beyond just to prove a stupid point. Just like in Dance Moms, she had to be the #1 winner at all times, if not she would get mad and grumpy. It's the same thing with proving she is right, if she can't she becomes grumpy and rude. I can relate to Maddie because everytime someone says the opposite of me, I want to be the one who is right. Usually at home only though. If I know I am wrong, I will say the most random things to pretend I know what I am talking about and slowly make them think I am right. In this video https://youtu.be/rQv16lWw9D0 Maddie loses to her younger sister and is obviously mad.

As Maddie got to play in the movie The Book of Henry, she had to get her own apartment for 6 weeks. Her mom was with Mackenzie at ALDC so she couldn't take care of Maddie. Maddie really missed her so when they finally saw each other again, her mom and even Kenzie hugged her and cried. I can sort of relate because if I don't see my parents for 2 weeks, I'm ok. But then the responsibilities come in and you realize you need your mom and then realize you miss her.

Maddie doesn't only dance all the time and show up on screen. She loves to bake and sing. Nia one of her friends said Maddie comes over to sing random songs with her and bake cookies and watch a movie while eating the cookies. This would help both Nia and Maddie to stop stressing about Dance Moms and just be normal people. But this doesn't happen often because Maddie lives in L.A. while Nia is in Pittsburgh, so when these little dates happen, it is very important for the both of them.

When Maddie was younger, her mom would dress her and tell her what to wear. Now Maddie obviously picks her own outfits. Her passion for fashion started when she went to New York fashion week. She once got a sneak peek of the clothes and even got to walk the runway. She loves spotting celebs and taking pictures with them. Maddie wasn't confident in her style at first because most of her clothes were for dance, but as she got older she stopped caring and now all her clothes are pretty and she has a fashion sense.

Maddie loves makeup. She will buy all Sephora's new pallets and brushes. She has no room for any of her makeup and her mom gets mad for that. She used to make videos as a kid because she needed to have makeup for dance. At 5, she had her own YouTube and now she watches lots of makeup artists to help her learn more. On page 180, she says "If I wasn't a performer, I would be a makeup artist." This shows how much she loves doing makeup. My sister could relate to Maddie, she only watches makeup artists and always tries new looks and sometimes on me which I don't really like but really don't have a choice since I'm younger.

Maddie loves to know what while happen next. She loves to make everything in order to keep everything in place and perfect. She had lots of surprises like making music videos with Sia and being in movies and even launching her own clothing line. Those are good surprises but other than those, she rather know what will happen. She plans her next 5 years and even is thinking about what she will do in 10 years. "I'd like to have a real home on the West Coast- a house with a garden, a pool, a backyard, maybe a screening room and dance studio" (213).

Maddie's favorite hairstyle is buns. She had to always wear them for dance and still does on a daily. Maddie can't wear them around in Hollywood and in shows because they aren't professional. Maddie sometimes shows her frustration around when she can't wear a bun around, she doesn't like to be told what to do. Her younger sister always makes fun of her when she mad and says she's a baby when she starts getting mad over a small little thing. Maddie says not being able to wear buns is the hardest thing in her life at the moment. She also shows how she does her buns.

Maddie makes a whole chapter on just thanking people. She writes all the people who helped her become who is she today in the chapter and says a reason why she is thankful for them. She says she struggled a lot in dance, keeping up with the other dancers, as she got better it was the hatred from the other moms about "Maddie stealing the show". She learned over the years to block them out. After becoming a celeb, she missed being a regular person who can go to the mall or restaurant without fans chasing her. She thanks all the people for helping her get through everything. Although she still gets chased by fans.

Maddie now has her life all figured out. She knows she still wants to dance, own a clothing line, and be an actress. While Maddie has her dream life, she still struggles with haters. People will find the smallest flaw about her and try to bring her down . Of course like everyone else, Maddie cares about all the nasty comments. She says it's something she can't not look at, she needs to know. Maddie says when she becomes older and more confident about herself, she won't need to read the comments because she would know they aren't true, but for now, she still struggles.
