Student Review:

2

I liked it very much except I felt that the book jumped around a lot. Sometimes it was sketchy; I like it wasn't very descriptive sometimes. There are some very dull moments in the book, but it was good overall. - MNHS

The book started slow but then it got good later on. Even then it wasn't that interesting. - KMS

2

It was great! I couldn't put it down until my parents made me - BMS

It started really slow and slowly got better - KMS

1

Started really slow but got better as you get further in - KMS

2

I liked it and it was easy and fast to read. - KMS

1

This book had a possibility to be an interesting, suspenseful read, but it just had too many character gaps and an unrealistic way of working through the cave-in. Disappointing! - MNHS

2

A book that keeps you on top. Did it happen - did it really happen? A wonderful job of splicing the story up. So mych controversy, conflict throughout all the students that you can't help but go on the rough, bumpy, journey with them. - MNHS

2

I liked that the kids were mean and then saved Mr. Marks from the flooding cave. - BMS

2

They should have a second book like that! I liked it when the cave fell so they couldn't get out. - BMS

1

It was pretty good, but not my favorite of all time - MNHS

1

The book was well-written and had a good plou, but it should be directed toward younger kids - MNHS

2

I enjoyed this book a lot. My favorite character was Fiona because she was mean to people but later on was nice. My favorite part was when Mr. Marks passed out and they had to find their way out of the cave themselves. - BMS

Really improbable. - MNHS

Amazing...and I hate reading...so that's gotta say something. - MNHS

Dough Boy

Fifteen-year-old Tristan deals with intensified criticism about his weight when the nutrition-obsessed daughter of his mother's boyfriend, Frank, moves in.

Student Rating:

Student Review:

1

The book was okay because at times in the story it got confusing and it really didn't have any climax to it. - MNHS

1

This book was an easy read with not much of a plot. There was no climax with no rising and falling of the action.

This book reminds me of a lot of books I read when I was younger. It did not have much of a plot or storyline.
There are two ways in which I can relate to this book. One is that the kids parents are divorces and so are mine. Another is that he is a teenager and we relate in that way.
The way that this relates to the world is that the main character is fat and people tease him and that is a major problem in society today. - MNHS

2

It's a very humorous and cute story. You can relate to a lot of situationa the main character is in. - KMS

1

Entertaining and meaningful at the same time - CMS

1

Funny and I can relate to it. - KMS

2

I liked this book because it talks about real life problems. The boy named Tristan a.k.a. Tri is over-weight and his parents are divorced. His mom has a boyfriend and after Tri's mom moves in, her boyfriend tells her that he has a daughter. She comes. Her name is Kelly. But Tri's life gets changed completely. Unlike before, Tri is worried about his weight. And Kelly goes out with Tri's best friend Marco. Kelly and Marco leave Tri behind on a ski trip. They start to ignore him. And bully him. He gets tripped up in lunch. And called Doughboy. His mom breaks up with her boyfriend and life gets better. Everything is better again. WINNER! - CMS

The book was a little bit interesting but I still think most kids will enjoy it a little. - MNHS

Book was boring and confusing. No action; book was not put together well. - MNHS

1

I had a hard time reading it and getting through it. This book was kind of a weird - out-there book. - MNHS

1

I think the vook was okay. It's not the book I hoped it would be. Because it was "Out of Time" the character ws using the time machine to go through the time, and there was lots of passages about other people. So it really confused me. The real reason I didn't enjoy the book was it didn't have a good beginning and end. When I finished the book, I didn't know what the author wanted to tell us. I think the author needed to make some changes to the book. - CMS

1

Thsi book was good, but it was a little confusing. - KMS

Horribly written. The plot totally fell apart. The idea is good, but it wasn't written well. - BMS

Good girl book and keeps your attention. Does alot to do with cliques and school and wanting to be popular. MNHS

It had a good story-line, but it had a little twist that made it different from all of the other popularity books. - MWHS

It was realistic but also not realistic. Like the popularity set-up of high school was real, but the sacrifice witch part wasn't. - MNHS

I got into it very much and it was really hard to put down. It was also a great (unexpected) page turner. - MNHS
