Customer Reviews

I loved reading this book again!

I recall having checked this book out of the school library three times in one year, either as a third or fourth grader. As an adult, I didn't remember the storyline and wanted to revisit it. Death of a parent is a main theme, which is approached gently, yet honestly. As in real life, people are people and will say and do things that seem unfair and inappropriate to the situation. The story managed to have a happy ending despite some cringeworthy moments between characters. These moments are what made the story more realistic to me.

A very good book

I love this book! In third grade, I had a reading group and chose this book to read. In these brillliant pages, you'll find a wolf hybrid, Sharon Hinkler, glow ropes, and Ms. Jewel. I'd recommend this book to anybody, even if they're not interested in wolf hybrids because I don't think too much of them myself, but I love this book anyway.

This book was great!

I read a book called ¡®The Fourth Grade Wizards¡¯. This book is about a girl named Marianne. Her mother died and her and her dad moves to a new house, and buys a half-wolf dog. And at the end Marianne and her friend Jack becomes a fourth grade wizards. You get to be an wizard when you do nice things and don¡¯t fight with others.I liked the part where she gets Kipuck. Kipluck is Marianne¡¯s dog. After she buys him, Marianne gets really happy. She always plays with Kipluck. I like that part because she gets a new friend and Marianne and her dad gets happy.I liked the part when Marianne and dad met Lucy. She lives next door. Lucy and Marianne gets along. And Lucy always eat dinner and lunch with Marianne and dad. At the end Lucy marries with Marianne¡¯s dad. It¡¯s really happy to read a part when the character is happy.I didn¡¯t like the part when Kipluck ran away from home. Why would he have done such thing? Well, I was really sorry for Marianne.I liked the part when Jack and Marianne becomes a member of The Fourth Grade Wizards. I liked it because Marianne and Jack¡¯s dream came true. I loved that part. This book was great! I loved it! I t was better than Otherwise known as Sheila the great. Now I want to read ¡®Nothing¡¯s Fair in Fifth Grade¡¯ by the same author. I am going to read this book again. I loved It!!!!!!
