Pretty good

When i am in the library, Ilook for books with original titles. This one really had an original title. So i got it. It wasnt what I expected at all. It was better. It wasnt just about some girl who had 500 middle names and then the end. it WAS BETTER THAN THAT. People should read this book!

My Opionion of This Book

I think the best part of this book was when discribedhow Janie didn't like Kimberly at first but in the end they became good friends.I think this book had good detailand told the difrence between adults and children.

A Fun Book to Read

Today, in my mother, daughter club we talked about Janie and how we are like her. Her mother knits these sweaters for a company, but the company doesn't want them. So, every day Janie wears the sweaters her mother knitted. I would recomend this book to read because Janie goes through being a really new kid in school, and because it tells you it's okay to be new in a new school.

A Lesson For Janie

My opinion is that people should really read this bookbecause it is a really good lesson.About lying.You shouldalways feel good about yourself.

Great new series for younger readers

Mrs. Haddix has done it! This is a wonderful beginning chapter book for late 2nd/3rd grade readers. This will make a good read-aloud for class or small discussion groups. A terrific lesson on family relationships and values. Good book to help children who have recently transferred to a new school. The characters are enjoyable and endearing. Very believable and current topics for today's elementary age child.
