Sixth Grade Secrets

Sixth Grade SecretsBy: Louis SacharReviewed By: P.KimPeriod 6Sixth Grade secrets is about a club that was started by a girl named Laura that was originated ever since she bought a cap from a garage sale that said Pig City on it. Pig City was a secret club and in order to join Pig City you needed to give insurance. Insurance like a big secret from someone. Everything was going as planned until a boy named Gabriel starts a new club to get revenge on Pig City ever since he was rejected. He names the club Monkey town and gives Pig City a spin.This book is very humorous and makes the reader keep reading word after word until their eyes pop out. The author knows the life of a child and is able to write a great book to get young readers attracted. I like this book because it has a type of humor that is very rare to read.These are some of my favorite quotes in the book: "Eat a raw egg." And "Kiss me or I will tell everyone about Pig City." I like these quotes because these quotes gave me an urge to keep reading. My favorite part in the book is when a person gives insurance that was made up by Laura. Insurances like a big secret, a love letter and more. This is my favorite part because each insurance is different and give another style of humor.

this book has 5 star quality!

I have this book and I've read it more that 5 times! It never gets boring. The more I read it, the more i like it! Louis Sachar is a very talented writer! I have read most of his books and I think they are all great!

Any 4th through 8th graders should read it!!

A wonderful book. The best book of his that I've read so far. You never know what will happen next. Very funny and a realsitic fiction book. A great summer book.

A Great Book

I think this is a great book. Laura starts a secret club and invites people to join (in secret). A classmate, Gabriel, overhears something about the club (Pig City) and wants to join. Laura invites him over and he's very easygoing, or so it seems. But when his "insurance" goes all wrong, he gets revenge by starting his own club (Monkey Town) and gettting revenge in lots of ways! Read the books!

The tragic pattern as done by Louis Sachar

This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I am a freshman in college. I know of no better example of the tragic pattern. The only thing missing is the unhappy ending. Absolutely cathartic ending. And, as always with Louis Sachar, tons of hilarious goings-on. Really a 12, in my book.
