What I really love about this book is that a girl (Gabriela) tries her best to do good on what she really loves doing, but in this book she does have a stuttering problem. Gabby really likes expressing her self by dancing but poetry is making Gabby feel more freely because of her stuttering problem.

In the book Honey, it goes from in the prospective of a young girl named Melody and a dog named Mo.But who is Honey,Melody goes around trying to figure out who this Honey is that her dad talks too late at night. Read the book to find out what happens next .

I am in year 7, and to give a summary of Boy Overboard I would say that it is a kids/tween novel. Boy Overboard is based on a young Afghani kid Jamal, who loves playing football (soccer). But that isn’t always easy when your goalkeeper has only one leg, and when land mines are lying around your football game. Jamal has a little sister Bibi who is even better at football than him. But the Taliban made it illegal for girls to play football. The Taliban also found out that Jamal and Bibi’s mum had an illegal school in their house, the family then had to evacuate their house and move to Australia. The journey to Australia was dangerous and scary for the family, and Jamal and Bibi got separated from their parents. The smugglers were very cruel and everyone got hungry, and things got violent. The kids soon found out Australia wasn’t as welcoming as they expected, but once Jamal and Bibi got their parents back; they realized that if they were together that’s all that mattered. When I first began reading Boy Overboard I didn’t find much of a hook. And I struggled to enjoy the book for a while. It wasn’t until Jamal’s mum was almost killed, also known as the stadium scene is when I started to find a hook, and start to enjoy the book. I found the scene stadium scene the first hook because that was when the story first started to become different to other books I’d read before, and it inclined me to want to read the book more. My two favorite scenes in Boy Overboard were the stadium scene and the scene where Jamal and Bibi found out the news of their parent’s boat sinking. The stadium scene was when the Taliban found out about the illegal schools, including Jamal’s mum’s school. The Taliban rounded up all the illegal teachers and were going to execute them. Jamal’s mum luckily got away. And the scene where Jamal and Bibi found out the news of their parent’s boat sinking is one of the final scenes, and I chose it because it seemed to have a hard impact on Bibi and Jamal. You could tell that they were hit hard by this news, just by the way that it was written. While reading the novel, it was obvious that there were a few enemies to the main characters such as the Taliban, the smugglers, the pirates, and the sailors. The Taliban were always despised by Jamal and his family, the main event between Jamal’s family and the Taliban was after Jamal’s Mum got caught for having an illegal school. The Taliban blew up Jamal’s house and then almost murdered his mother before she got away. The main event between Jamal’s family and the smugglers was probably after the smugglers dropped off a group of people at a boat dock, and left everyone there in the dark with no food or water. Jamal and Bibi and the Pirates only had one encounter, which was when the pirates abandoned Jamal and Bibi in the middle of the ocean with the rest of the people onboard. Jamal’s family had a few encounters with the sailor, but I think the moment with the highest conflict was when the sailor threw Bibi into the water, even when she didn’t know how to swim. At the beginning of the book, Jamal seems like an average Afghani kid for his conditions worried about safety, afraid of land mines, on edge and carefu. And of course, he loves football. As the book carried through Jamal started to show more signs of bravery and compassion. He was clearly affected by his rough journey to Australia, but I think that it helped him be more thankful for things like being with his family, and even being alive. When Jamal and Bibi lost their parents, you could tell that Jamal saw it as a time to step up and take care of Bibi. Whereas at the start of the book Bibi was very open-minded and feisty, and as the book carried through she started to be more respecting and patient. Bibi seemed to be rather rattled after the rough journey to Australia, but that helped her to be more thankful for little things.

So good I recommend this book to bsc and bookwormros

I love this book and the 3 other books too. I think they are good books.

OK... WOW. This book surpassed all my expectations and more! Caitlyn is the new girl in town at the Mitchell School in Mitchell, Vermont, aka THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Seriously! The 7th grade literally only has 10 kids! Well, 11 now, with Caitlyn. And it seems like there used to be 11 kids in the year before too, a kid named Paulie Fink being the eleventh. Everyone expected Caitlyn to be Paulie when she walked in the door, but Paulie never showed up. Paulie was indefinitely missing to the 7th grade class of Mitchell, nicknamed the Originals after being the first class to start off the brand new school in kindergarten. As Caitlyn asks who Paulie is, she is overwhelmed with stories about his tricks and pranks and overall, how great of a person he was and how great he made going to school be. Caitlyn never really gets a grasp of the real Paulie Fink, she only gets snippets through the stories. But what she does know is that this kid was a legend amongst the Originals, and life really seems to be duller without him. But then Caitlyn comes up with an idea to try to get in with the Originals and become a popular 'silver dollar,' as she puts it. Caitlyn wants to have a contest to decide a NEW Paulie Fink to take his place as class clown and make school less boring again! The rest of the students vote Caitlyn as judge, and she puts them through intense rounds of elimination to find a new Great Paulie Fink! I flew through this incredible book and the ending kept me hanging on! Totally different then what I expected, honestly. And it was GREAT. I LOVE LOVE LOVED this book! I've read "The Thing About Jellyfish" by this same author, Ali Benjamin, and this was a great second novel to top it off. This book was filled with laughs, adventure, and realistic situations of middle school, and no joke, my eyes filled with tears as the book came to a close. I didn't want it to end! I recommend this book to any middle schooler, or really anyone who goes to school, or anyone who doesn't! Everyone should read this book! 5/5 stars and I recommend it for ages 8+. A really a great novel, I can't say that enough, and I can't wait to see more novels from Ali Benjamin in the future!
