Dear Reader,
I
know what you’re thinking this book looks boooring and there is no way I will
ever want to read it cause I hate poems!!! What you don’t know is that it’s
actually an interesting story about a boy who meets his favorite author and
becomes inspired to write poetry. The beginning may be a little slow, but then
it becomes really, really good. There are many emotions where he learns to
express his feelings, especially when he talks about the death of his dog. You
may even pick up writing poetry yourself! Come on, you know you want to give it
another try!

The Boy on the
Porch
Hate That Cat is the continuation of Love That Dog where Jack is another year
older and continues on with the same teacher. Absolutely Normal Chaos is about a girl who receives an assignment
to keep a journal. They are all very similar in where teachers assign them to
express feelings towards situations in their lives such as death of the dog and
Mary Lou’s enticing summer. The Boy on
the Porch is a completely different novel, but has mystery and tons of
emotion as the others all do. However, this book isn’t written with assignments
but it does talk about how they become a beautiful unique family.
