 A glimpse into a young mind February 19, 2002

What an excellent book for any young person! It is especially good for a young person experiencing divorce. As an adult child of divorce, I could relate to Richard's feelings about the break-up of his parents. And as a teacher, I can see how students could relate Richard's feelings about being at a new school, making new friends, etc. I especially loved the ending - it gave great closure to the story and left me with a strong message...finding your voice in writing (or just as a young person) can be so powerful. A great read for a child or adult!

Rope Burn is a great book for all ages. My daughter, Jennifer thought that it was true in the fact that most children relate to not wanting to write stories for their teachers. I like that he overcame a fear by practicing.

This book is about a boy his parents are divorced and in school he has to use a proverb as a story. And in gym class he has to climb a rope but doesn't know how. But with a little help, he may not have to worry about it anymore but then again he may!
 Good for late elementary, early middle schoolers. March 19, 1998

A boy of about 12 keeps a journal as part of a writing assignment. In the process he explores events in his life such as a gym class test, death of an older neighbor, the divorce of his parents, and his attitude towards writing. The book reads right along and was enjoyed by my 11-yr-old son.He said, "I wanted to keep reading it because it was interesting." One annoying aspect is the publisher's choice to use a typewriter font on cheap-looking paper. It did not work to capture the idea of a student's journal and detracts from the appearance of the book.
