Maybe I'm old school but I just can't imagine teaching a book like this to an entire class. For me, I think this might be more of an independent recommendation. I understand this might be a book for younger students but do you think this would be challenging enough? I think the books we read for class all had different levels of analysis so I just would want to make sure that any book I teach has that as well.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472434688726759144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-5846556312285786622009-11-28T17:08:03.111-06:002009-11-28T17:08:03.111-06:00You are all right about girls having issues with g...You are all right about girls having issues with gossiping, bullying, etc. For some reason they can’t open up their eyes to see their own cruelty. That is why they must read this book! I loved it!T.

Many groups bully others who do not fit in or do not belong. I think girls are often more cruel and sneaky about their gossiping and bullying. I know our counselors have had several assembly-type interventions with our sixth grade girls. Apparently, the bullying has moved to the cyber world with things like facebook and texting, which is difficult to control. <br /><br />Sounds like an interesting read and I'm curious to find out how it ends. <br /><br />AndraAndrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278582157448665022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-12764610977632499852009-11-28T12:16:53.682-06:002009-11-28T12:16:53.682-06:00This book sounds like a must read for young girls....This book sounds like a must read for young girls. All too often you hear how mean girls are to each other. The backstabbing and gossiping gets so out of control and they don't realize how hurtful it is. It's important for young girls to know who their true friends are because many times you hear of two best friends drifting apart because of the social status thing.<br /><br />DonnaDonna Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596158650075611897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-59208619965331267332009-11-28T12:06:03.370-06:002009-11-28T12:06:03.370-06:00I think if I were to teach this book in an English...I think if I were to teach this book in an English class male students would be able to relate to Parker's need to belong or 'fit it' or the sports aspect, and some may even like the opportunity to read a book that is deemed 'female' without being stereotyped.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034455310263818630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-66403861424648016102009-11-28T12:02:58.035-06:002009-11-28T12:02:58.035-06:00I think if I were to teach this book in an English...I think if I were to teach this book in an English class male students would beable to relate to Parker's need to belong or 'fit it' or the sports aspect, and some may even like the opportunity to read a book that is deemed 'female' without being stereotyped.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034455310263818630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-80889339128047485072009-11-28T00:18:57.883-06:002009-11-28T00:18:57.883-06:00OO another book to put on my list.

This book sounds like it can help YA learn the dangers without being too "pushy" or "dramatic". Plus, a little love story never hurts...Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040000974162614877noreply@blogger.com
