Description

The character of "Albert" is one of the funniest, smartest and truest characters who I really wish kids take as a hero. A special kind of a hero for those who think that they have no one to defend themselves in this world. As the book goes on... we see Ally develop more confidence, make more friends, read better, and develop deeper understanding & empathy for those who were mean to her. And,” she says. “All that doodling of yours, Ally. If you weren’t drawing all the time, your work might be done. Please put it away.” Mrs. Hall's baby shower is a few days later. Ally gives her teacher a card with yellow roses on it, but Mrs. Hall doesn't look happy. Shay, the class bully, reads the card and tells Ally she's dumb. Ally is confused until the principal, Mrs. Silver, asks her why she'd give a sympathy card at a baby shower. In the office, Mrs. Silver asks Ally to read a poster on the wall. There are two hands reaching towards each other and Ally pretends she can read it. That afternoon, as Ally tries to do homework at the restaurant where Mom works, Shay and her friend Jessica stop and tease Ally about being dumb. Ally draws in her Sketchbook of Impossible Things, where she records things that will never happen in real life.

The recurring characters were not a stroke of originality, of course - a band of outcasts, a posse of mean girls, a couple of kids not brave enough to stand up for the weaker ones until the weaker kids became willful enough to fend for themselves. But they were fun to read about. They also grew. along with Ally. I liked Albert the most. I was sad for him, but I was also proud of the way he carried himself and learned to live with his difficulties. Actually, come to think of it, I think he was my favourite character in the entire book. For teachers . . . who see the child before the student, who remind us that we all have special gifts to offer the world, who foster the importance of standing out rather than fitting in. And for kids . . . who find their grit to conquer life’s challenges— no matter what those challenges may be. You are heroes. This book is for you. Every chapter is like a new rule, as these little rules. Cynthia writes to her brother to understand basic life things. They’re cute, and some of them are suitable life lessons for her as well. As I draw my finger through the gooey cream, I think about the words “learning differences.” And I’mfilled with fear and happiness and questions. But I’mmostly filled with hope.

Wonder follows a ten-year-old boy named August Pullman, born with a rare genetic condition that caused a major facial deformity. He’s had many surgeries over the years to try and correct what was wrong, but he’s still left not looking like a normal little boy. Because of these different surgeries, he hasn’t been able to attend regular school. He’s been homeschooled by his mom, and one day his mom tries to convince him to go to a regular middle school. The author of the beloved One for the Murphysgives readers an emotionally-charged, uplifting novel that will speak to anyone who’s ever thought there was something wrong with them because they didn’t fit in. CHAPTER 10 Promises, Promises . . . “All right, Fantasticos!” Mr. Daniels says, rubbing his hands together like a mad scientist. “First thing I’m going to do today is book talk. I will do that a lot this year—tell you all about some of my favorite stories.” When Mr. Daniels talks about books, it reminds me of Max or Oliver. Like he’s ready to launch a giant party. I like hearing about the story. But asking me to read them would be like asking a lobster to play tennis. And then it gets worse. He holds up a pile of notebooks. “I have a surprise. I have a brand-new writing journal for each of you, which you will write in every day.” Oh no. I’d rather eat grass. “But here’s the thing. I will sometimes give you a topic but not very often. And I will never ever—even if an evil sorcerer threatens to turn all my correcting pens to clear ink—correct your work.” Huh? “They will never be graded. They will never be corrected. And most days, I won’t tell you what to write about. You may write about your life, sports, the country of Bulgaria, your favorite kind of soap, books you like, books you don’t like. Anything.” Wow. I wonder if he’s delirious. No correcting? Anything we want? This is too good to be true; I know something is coming. That novel gave me an idea about what goes on a mind of a struggling student. I knew why some kids behave indifferently or even take the role of the class clown to get the attention away of what they are going through. That is a thing I'm grateful to this story about.

I personally am taking nothing from anything raised here and funds will be dispersed directly to associated band and crew members who have been struggling financially this year with little or no work outside the live music industry.stars...strong, relatable book about a girl with a secret. Ally gets into trouble all the time at school because she won't do her reading and writing. She won't follow directions, and she makes really bad decisions about what she does and says.

Ally is a talented artist, but she struggles with reading and writing. She finally meets a teacher who understands why she struggles and wants to help her. With the support of Mr. Daniels and her eccentric friends Keisha and Albert, Ally begins to discover what makes her unique.
