ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BOOK! It's got a great story line and a great set up too. It keeps the kids begging for more because Creech switches from topic to topic between chapters. So like Chapter 3 is about family and Chapter 4 is about the play and Chapter 5 is about Leo's dad. She never talks about one thing constantly. The only problem is that there are some parts that younger children might feel uncomfortable reading... like the "life book" part where some kids learn how and when they will die. Also, there is one mention of "gay".
Hi,I'm twelve years old and i got chose this book not really knowing about it when i asked my teacher what it was about he told me he heard it was about a boy doing a movie, but trust me it's nothing close to that! This book was really touching to me and I don't really know why but something...i dont know what but it was just really touching and i can't explain it :) This book also had its funny moments which i can't get out of my head :D
I LOVE THIS BOOK> okay, Sharon creech is awesome, let me say that, and THIS BOOK IS NO EXCEPTION!!!!! one of my friends got a part in a play as a "crone" and if you're wondering why I called it educational is because Rumpopos porch might inspire some people to check out folktales.
P.S. why is the fish all charred?
