I chose this book because when I read a little bit of it I liked it. It hooked me in on just the first paragraph. I really like the main character, I think it will be really interesting to read about her.
I chose this book with my book club over the summer. We chose it because it sounded like an interesting story. We also just liked the cover, which really shouldn't affect one's judgement, but what the heck.
This book is really good so far. If you don't really like funny books than this is is not the book for you. It is funny at times but it usually it isn't. Why would you be interested in this book?
This book is really amazing and you never want to put it down, She is throwing a party to make new friends for her brother. Would you do that for a famliy member that has trouble making friends
This book has a lot to offer, I say give it a chance. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! so far her brother has three boys that have showed up. Why does he not have many friends? If you where invited to a meeting party by some one who dose not many friends
I am half way through the book. I am at the part that Robbie and summer go into the barn. They see a big horse and something else happens, you will have to read and find out what happens next.
I read to page 94 over the summer, but then stopped because I found he book boring. I decided to keep reading and now I am finding it really funny! Two characters, Obaachan and Mrs. Parker, pay so much attention to every last detail to every little detail that it gets funny but also really annoying. They have a lot in common, but they drive each other crazy.
My last post kind of stunk in terms of quality, but I like the book much more after reading further into it. At first it is kind of depressing, but you need to read much farther than page 50 to really understand the ultimate structure of the plot.
I think that Summer is not only surprised about this certain event but also kind of embarrassed. I think she is also scared that Obaachan knows exactly what happened.
In the part I read tonight, there is a fair amount of illness involved. Jaz and Jiichan get the flu, and Summer makes a choice she is unsure of to help her family. I think she has made the right choice. I also think Mick is really obnoxious but most of the time he is correct about things, just saying stuff in an obnoxious way.
Summer and some of the harvesting helpers have to go and harvest some other place. Did I tell you she is also terrified of something else. You will have to read and find out.
Summer feels responsible for making food for the crew because Obaachan's back is causing her a lot of pain. She also feels responsible for driving the combine when Jiichan has the flu.
I just started this book on 1/9/15 and it looks interesting when i read the back it said it seemes that if summers family dint have bad luck they have no luck.
when i got the second page i found out that her parents had to go to japan to stay with old people who want to spend there last months or weeks with her Koans parents but Koan had to stay home because she had malaria.
When i got a littell into the book i liked it when the main charecter gowes outside and then a masketo landed on her and she screamed because she got airport malaria and she was afriad to get it again.
When her parents went away she went to go stay with her grandmama and papa and they worked for the parkers farming and croping for them and some times they would get to take some crops home.
When i got about half way itnto the book it was geting quite interesting because she is still with her grand parents wil here mom dad brother are in china i beleve.

ReplyDeleteWhat happens next is kind of scary and surprising and makes you hope that the main character doesn't get in trouble.

ReplyDeleteOops, I didn't put a 't' at the beginning of 'the'.

ReplyDeleteits a little sad in the beginning but the further you push on your mind will explode with fascinaition
ReplyDeleteI am on page 181. Something happens and Summer is really surprised about it. Summer cooks for the harvesting team, with her grandmother.

ReplyDeleteSummer knows how to drive a combine, her dad taught her. She had to do something she had never done in a long time.
ReplyDeleteSummer feels a tremendous amount of responsibility. In what ways does she feel
ReplyDeleteresponsible and why?
Summer feels responsible for making food for the crew because Obaachan's back is causing her a lot of pain. She also feels responsible for driving the combine when Jiichan has the flu.
DeleteThunder, the family dog, goes along on the harvest. What pivotal role does he play? What conflict would be absent if he were not in the story?

DeleteThe pivotal role that Thunder played is the family dog. The conflict with the one that is in charge would not happen.
DeleteHow has Summer grown by the end of the story? How has her relationship with her
ReplyDeletegrandparents changed? What about their understanding of her?
