To say the least, the physical and mental act of writing for my 10-year old daughter is not her favorite activity. However, to keep a promise and as an encouragement to my fierce one to keep up her writing, I am posting my female child's (now completed) 4th grade class book talk report.
Greg is a lazy kid who likes it when his stuff is done for him. Rodrick is Greg's older brother who is mean to Greg and treats Greg like a rag doll. Manny is Greg's younger brother; he tries to act like Rodrick to be mean to Greg. But it just annoys him. Frank is Greg's father. He tries to be on a diet of no junk food whatsoever. Rowley is Greg's best friend. He tries to be like Greg, a macho kid.
His dad wants to ship Greg out to Military school like Lenwood Heath's parents did. Greg needs to change his dad's mind about Military school before he's gone. He signs up for Boy Scouts and gets Rowley to join too.
I recommend this book for people who like funny graphic novels.

In the beginning...
Greg starts the New Year like he's the boss of the house. He goes around their house helping (and ordering) his family with their resolutions, and to make them be better.In the middle...
His dad forced Greg and Rodrick to sign up for Soccer for Greg and SAT class for Rodrick. When Greg's team comes up with the name "Red Socks" instead of "Twisted Wizard", Greg switches to back-up goalie so he didn't have to block free kicks.His dad wants to ship Greg out to Military school like Lenwood Heath's parents did. Greg needs to change his dad's mind about Military school before he's gone. He signs up for Boy Scouts and gets Rowley to join too.
In The End...
Greg and his family went up to the Snellas' house for Seth Snellas' Half Birthday Party. Every year, the Snellas' try to have the little boy or girl laugh at grown-ups who line up. The Snellas' really want the grand prize of "AFF" (America's Funniest Family).I recommend this book for people who like funny graphic novels.
Brava, Fierce One! Well done.
ReplyDeleteMichael, will this be a regular feature? Sort of a one-girl summer reading club?
I love that idea! I'm going to suggest that to you-know-who. Thanks very much, Naomi.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is great. You bought her something on Saturday; let's see the review of that book!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Very distinct style and extremely helpful in allowing me to see right off if it's the type of story I'd be interested in. Pass along my compliments and my hope for more in the future. Cheers.
