This book is HILARIOUS! This will be fun and hysterical for any grade level, IF the teacher is reading it aloud. Otherwise, Fountas & Pinnell would probably give this book the label S. That would make it appropriate for independent reading for a 4th or 5th grader. I actually used this book over the ...

I wish I knew what magic makes a book so compelling that you just get sucked right into it and look up hours later, thinking, “I should go to bed, but just a few more pages, but ohhh I’m really going to be sorry when my alarm goes off at 5:30, but just a few more pages, ohhh what the heck okay anoth...

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI feel horribly betrayed by this book.I read the third book in this series (found it in the lending library) and enjoyed it, so when I saw the first book as an audiobook at the library, I figured it would be a good read.It all started well enough. Fudg...

The genius of this book is not in the quality of the writing or the cleverness of the story, but in that magical way that Judy Blume has of capturing the experience of being a kid. I remember reading this when I was twelve, the same age as Margaret, and feeling she was a kindred spirit in some way, ...

I read Judy Blume's book Blubber right before this one, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. This was a nice, lighthearted read after such a heavy text. A very silly book. I have not read any of the other Fudge books, but this one can still be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed the story. It ...

This is one of those terrifying books that is eye-opening in the most horrifying ways because it happens all the time. Even though this book was written in the 1970s, it is still sadly very relevant today. Bullying has changed a lot since the book was written, but it is still very widespread. The bu...

Probably my least favorite of Judy Blume’s children’s books so far. I seem to remember enjoying it as a child, but unlike the Ramona and Beezus and Henry books, it has no charm for me as an adult reader. Peter is cursed with an obnoxious little brother who gets all the attention and ruins everything...

This one comes closer than Just as Long as We're Together to the Judy Blume I remember. Rachel Robinson is the tallest girl in her class, a gifted student taking advance classes, on the debate team and an aspiring musician. Her mom's a trial lawyer who has just been appointed a judge, and her f...

This book and its followup, Here's To You Rachel Robinson are the only two Young Adult books by Judy Blume that I had not read as a young adult (they were published after my time). I saw them both at a Free Little Library and thought, why not? It's good, but I don't know if I'm missing something ...

Tales of a Fourth Grade nothing is a funny book about a boy and his younger brother. They experience many different experiences and trials throughout the book. I think this book would be a great one to use in a literature circle for older elementary grades. Lexile Level - 470
