STUPID!!!
The Wanderer By Sharon Creech is the stupidest book for a 13 year old. This book is for 7 year olds.

 
Slow moving but good life lessons!
This book was a bit slow moving for both me and my 13 year old son. It was pretty much same old, same old until the end. It did have some good lessons about working together and about the choices we make.

Good for tweens! Younger kids (7 and younger) may have a hard time
I loved it! Sharon creech is such a good author! This has to be one of her best!

 
Teaches about sailing, writing, and living
The Wanderer is a beautifully crafted book about life. There are interesting characters in a changing and challenging setting. This would be a great springboard for journal writing.

 
Sophie and I loved it!
Sophie is not only the main character, but the name of my daughter. We loved this book. Although Sophie's background is somewhat troubling, I rated the social stuff as good stuff because of the way its handled. My Sophie is 9 and a very stong reader. Wait a few more years for kids that aren't strong readers as the format could be confusing. Neither Sophie nor I found it to be a problem and enjoyed having Cody reveal things that Sophie didn't.

It was a really good book!!

 
UMM..
a bit odd but overall a good read. I thought it was weird but thats my personal opinion. Perfectly acceptable for anyone over 10.

good for 10+ i think!
I loved this book, therefore read all of her series! loved all of them!!!!!!!!!!!

 
I love this book because its very instering and you can't put it down once you start reading it.It's sorta easy to understand 'cause the chapters are very short.If you like a good sea book,than you should read this one.

Wonderful Read-aloud Book
I read this book aloud to my 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter (and 41-year-old husband). It was a very interesting book to read aloud and I enjoyed bringing slightly different voices to Cody and Sophie. My 9-year-old criticized the back-and-forth journal entry styles as confusing but it seemed to intrigue the rest of us. Reading it aloud heightened the suspense about Sophie's past, Bompie's present and the future of the family as a whole.

A great book
This book is very well written and I loved it. The main character (Sophie), is a strong girl who LOVES to sail on the ocean and be very near the ocean. Her uncles, and two boy cousins are going on a boating trip and Sophie wants to come along. Everybody thinks that boating os for boys but Sophie thinks otherwise.

A "Great" book
This book sucks! It's the worst book ever! 5 men and a woman, it's freaking stupid story, and it's dumbass writer, they make up this "Awesome" book.

Not for little kids, older kids in third grade and up would enjoy it
I like it, I read it in fourth grade and 9 or 10 years old, and now I still re-read it and I'm in sixth grade and 12. If you don't like it (which some of my friends don't), then its understandable because the vocabulary is tough and it had a hard to follow plot.
