I DNF'ed this at 35%. I was trying to push myself to at least 50%, but when you dread even open the book, there's a problem.I tried to read it. I really did. It's the type of book that I normally love (else I wouldn't have downloaded it!) But.... I hated the main character. She rubbed me the wrong w...
I picked this up at the Little Free Lending Library. It is the first Littles book that I have read. I really liked the premise of the series. It is fantastical and fascinating. This was a well-written book. Simple, yet interesting. While the characters were not very well developed, the plot of the ...
I had forgotten about this series until it was mentioned in our text for Dr. Raulston's class. Amber Brown is a girl who has two colors for a name and the books are about her day-to-day life in school. In this particular one she starts 4th grade. The books are written on a 3rd grade level but they c...
I wish all the Calvin Coconut books were like this one (but I think it probably needed the seven books before to get the story to this point). There are more continuity issues in this one. It sounds like Ledward started dating Calvin's mom very shortly after Calvin's dad left, but in the first book ...
This one was better than the last two. I enjoyed the story a lot and it felt mostly believable. There were more continuity issues in this book. Calvin Coconut's dad (Little Johnny Coconut) had a hit song. In the first book it was "A Little Bit of La-la-la-love" and in this book it’s "I Love Sunshine...
Again, a Calvin Coconut book with an unbelievable plot point. Most of the book was pretty good, but I don't believe that fight would be enough to make a kid transfer (maybe I'm insensitive to the problems kids face in school these days... or maybe I've read way better books that deal with bullying?)...
This series is really up and down for me. One of the main plot points in this one is so unbelievable. Also there's a lack of consistency between the books. Ledward was originally half Hawaiian, half a bunch of other things. Now he's half Hawaiian, half Filipino. Clarence was described as Samoan the ...
These books are growing on me (though I'm not a fan of Stella). I don't have much to say about this one other than I generally liked it (and there have to be better insults out there than "crippled ant").
I enjoyed this book more than the first one. The story was more interesting and seemed to fit a nine-year-old protagonist. I do find it weird that Salisbury never mentions anyone taking off their shoes inside the house (and some of the illustrations even show people wearing shoes inside, but those c...
I didn't have the highest hopes for this book, but I still feel disappointed. I love that the books are set in Kailua and that Calvin is a mixed kid. The writing was redundant at times though (malasada doughnuts, spicy hot kimchee, etc). And there were some weird references that reminded me a haole ...
