Our Book Reviews on Shiloh

If you like realistic  fiction  you will like  Shiloh. This book shows that sometimes it is ok to lie because It can be saving somebody  because  Judd could  have killed Shiloh. And sometimes you should not lie. The climax of the book is something  I did not  suspect. Shiloh is a good teaching book. In  the  end Marty gets Shiloh

Matthew and Nathan

I kind of like  it and  my favorite part is when climax happened. I’m a little sad when Shiloh gets attacked by the bakers dog . If you like dramatic stuff you will like this book. Also if you like animals you will love this book like crazy! This book has an amazing story to read that you will probably like. It has good details and I think you should read it!

                                                                 I LOVE SHILOH

I recommend it because it is a realistic story the author got  it from raw material like in the woods were Marty found Shiloh. I like Shiloh because it is saying always tell the truth and never lie. I recommend this book  because when your reading the book Shiloh you can see it happening in your mind. I recommend this book  because in this book gives you a good story of the characters . The author is talking like “lookin” because she wonts you to hear how they talk. So go get the book Shiloh.IT IS  GREAT!

                                                       My Review About Shiloh

                       I think other people should read Shiloh because it is a interesting story. My favorite part about this is when Shiloh gets attacked by the Backers dog, because it gets you worried about if he is gets to live or dies. I think it is interesting because there is a lot of big events in the story lie when Marty was walking over to Judd’s place but Judd and Marty met in the woods when Judd did something illegal and Judd was doing night hunting and what made it illegal was that he shot a doe. One of the big events in the story that Marty’s mom finds Shiloh being hide. I also think it mostly interesting because there is some suprizing things that happen in the story.

Mason and Kyle

 

If you like dogs you might want to read Shiloh. But if you hate blood there is no picture in it so you don’t have to see it. Also if you like chapter books you can read it. If you read Shiloh you will learn not to lie. If you like helping each other then read this book.

We recently finish our novel study on Wonder and here's our official reviews:

Wonder i about a boy named August. But he has a facial deformity. He is going to school where there are bullies. Wonder is a very good book. It is about August who makes a lot of friends, but some bully him. My favorite part is where they run from Eddie and August loses his hearing aid. That part is so exciting. If you love action, sadness, and also happy moments I highly recommend this book for you.

sicerely

matthew

I kind of like this book. Because August still goes to that school and does not give up to Julian [bully] and Jack Will. And Jack Will stops bullying August. August is bullied by some of the kids but he can’t do anything to them. And even one time they run into some bullies. One of them is Eddie and they start to fight a really strong fight. One time when I was fouled at my basketball practice when i was on the free point line the other team was yelling you can’t make it. But I believed in my self and I made two shots. It connects with the book wonder because August was bullied but he didn’t give up even to seventh graders bullies like Eddie [was a strong bully]. But when he stood up to all of those bullies and became a hero at the end. I recommend anyone who likes sad and surprising chapter books could read this book wonder. Because he is an interesting boy about who you would like to read. But people bully him and he stands up to them read more to find out.

Sincirely Dimitriy.

I really liked this book it had sad and happy points in the book.First  August said I’m not an ordaniry kid.He had had 27 surgreys since he was born.He had plastic surgrey and a cleft palate.he started sch in 5^th grade and it was hard for him.My favorite part was when his mom said you really are a wonder aggie you’re a wonder. I recommend reading this book if you like sad and happy books.

Sincerliy 

Ben.

I love the book wonder I love the way Palocio put the book like the main idea.

Wonder is about a kid named August who has many facil deformities and how he is going to a new school he makes friends like there are two kids Jack and Summer who be nice to him and are his friends there is one kid named Juilian who bullys him 

I can make a connection to Jack. Like at one part of the book no one talks to him one time none of my friends would talk to me

I recommend this book to anyone who likes storys about friendship and bullys and comedy 

Sincerely 

Bodey

 The book is called wounder and it is a pretty good I say that beceause it is a book do not let people be mean to you. 

Every body needs to learn to egnore bullies and do not care about them.If a bully comes up to you just look away .Just do not mind them. 

I think every body should a standing ovation witch means every  body should feel speaciel once in your life

 I think people who do not egnore bullies or people who are bullies.

Nate

This book is called "Wonder" and it is about a kid named August and he is homeschooled then he goes to a real school and he gets bullied because of his face. The book Wonder is about a kid named August and his face is different so he is homeschooled. Then he goes to 5th grade for the first time in his life. He had 27 surgeries and he got bullied because of his face. My connection to this book is when people look at his face, because I have looked at someone's face before and then they looked at me and I turned around really fast. If you like bullying books this is for you because August in this book gets bullied.

Do you have any rules that you think we should all live our life by? In the book Wonder, August's English teacher, Mr. Browne, presented the students with a new precept each month.

They could make up their own or use a quote from someone famous/someone they know, as long as they gave credit. Here are our rules to live by:

Advice from the Mancave

Mrs. Hutchins' and Mrs. Lunsford's 2nd grade classes sent us their questions about bullying and we wrote them advice letters answering some of their questions! Here are the some of the students' letters that we will be delivering to the 2nd graders:
