Whose Side are you on?

Whose Side are you on is a really great book. It's about a girl who recieves her report card and realizes that she has gotten a unsatisfactory in math. On the walk home she tosses her report card in the trash can. when she turns back around the garbage man was throwing it away. She begged the trash man to give the paper back too her, but he refused. whe she gets home she trys to be very nice, but her mother notices and punish her. The next day her teacher gives her a tutor. Her new tutor is the worst boy in class, he picks on her and he teases her. One day the teacher skips over his name. She wonders why he gone. Where can he be? I would recommend this book to any young adult. It talks about relationships and trust.

Blast from the past

This is my favorite childhood book, hands down, and I highly recommend it to all children of the appropriate age range. I just looked it up on a lark, and I'm so happy to have found it, I will definitely read it again for old times sake. I probably read this when I was 8, I borrowed it from the Queens Public Library, and remember the title and the characters to this day (I'm 23). It's a very real book, that does not talk down to children, but rather respects their intelligence and offers characters that they can identify with, and who feel and react the way real people do. In conclusion: a must-read!

A Great Book!

A Great Book! I would rate this book a 5 star book *****. A girl named Barbra who is getting a bad grade in math. She was invited to a slumber party but her mother wont let her go in less she gets her math grade up. Her mom hirers a tutor who turns out to be a boy Barbra hates. Later in the story T.J. (the boy) runs away and Barbra tries to find out where he ran off too. She gathers info and finds out T.J.'s grandfather lied about where T.J. was so she starts a boycott. Barbra is the one that sets out to look for him. At the end it all works out. I think this would be an age limit to 11 and up. It is a grate book and I definitely recommend it to others.

Neat

"Whose Side Are You On?" is about a girl named Barbra. She is 11 years old, and getting pretty bad grades. Her mom hires a math tutor who is coincidentally her worst enemy. But when he disappears, Barbra is the one that sets out to look for him. An interesting read!

Pretty Cool

"Whose Side Are You On?" is a neat book. I didn't get to read the whole book, but part of it was in my reading book at school. It probably interests me because I am 11 just like Barbra. (the main character)I reccomend it to anyone who wants a book about trouble that any normal kid has.
