Hickory Creek Middle School Reviews

Chicken Boy by Mrs. R.
I loved "Chicken Boy" by Frances O'Roark Dowell. Tobin and his only friend, Henry, raise chickens as a science fair project. Tobin wants the extra credit his teacher is offering, but Henry is out to prove that chickens have souls. By caring for the chickens on a daily basis, Tobin learns to deal with his dysfunctional family; a dad who doesn't pay attention to anyone but himself, a sister and brothers who can only concentrate on their own survival, and Granny who blames Tobin's dad for her daughter's death a few years before. The chickens teach Tobin quite a lot about how life, death and grief. And Tobin keeps his sense of humor even in the toughest times! Great story!

Defiance by Taylor S.
I  loved the book defiance beacuse it shows  that kids can express there feeling to the book because I love the saying you take my freedom you take my pride. I loved it very much.

Drums, Girls, & Dangerous Pie by Jenna P.
Drums, Girls, & Dangerous Pie was an awesome book!! It made me cry so many times...but in a good way. The reson I liked it so much wsa because I liked the fact that they told you how the little boy went through with all the treatment. I would consider you to read it!

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Marcus S.
I read the Miracuolus Journey of Edward Tulane which I thought was a really good book. The only thing that I would have to say that was bad about this is that the use a lot of difficult words in the book.

MVP*: *Magellan Voyage Project by Hanna S.
I read the book MVP. It was a great book! As you read, it will get  more and more adventurous, it's like your actually in the book! During some parts of this book, your heart will pound I'll tell you that. I'm glad I got to read this book. It's exciting, and it will give you the nerve to just let go! After you read this book, you will be shocked at how wonderful it was, to make you feel like you we're actually a part of the book, standing right there, watching it all happen. It's a really, really, great book, and I really recommend it to everyone who likes action, adventure, fun, excitement, and more.

The Old Willis Place: A Ghost Story by Taylor S.
I am reviewing the book The Old Willis Place. I loved it beacuse it was a ghost story and I love them. They are very exciting and those are the kind of books that make you want to read more and more every day. 

The Schwa Was Here by Emma V.
The Schaw Was Here is the Best 2008 Rebecca Caudill book I've read yet. It's funny, but it also has stuff like romance, love, fear, and mystery. It's a fantastic book!!

Worth by Emma
I loved the book Worth!  I've always enjoyed learning about the 1800s and that book gave me a great opportunity to get some more information.  It was a wonderful quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn't want to put the book down. I would give 9 out of 10 stars.  I promise you a book that you will thouroughly enjoy if you read the book "Worth"!
