I just finished reading The Wish, and i have some thoughts on it. First of all, it is about this girl, Wilma, (personally, I think that Wilma is a wierd name), who meets an old lady on the bus, and gets a wish. I bet you can guess what she wished for, she wished to be the most popular kid at her school, (honestly, i think that that is a wierd thing to wish for, just be yourself). But they are in 8th grade, and graduation is coming soon, so that means... Wilma wont be popular for very long.
This book was really great. I would really reccomend it because it has a bunch of good lessons in it. For example, Wilma learns that she wants friends that like her for who she is. Also, that she should be herself, and not count on other people. And the last one, don't worry about what other people think.
During this book, the "voices in my head" were saying a bunch of things. Like, "I cant believe that wilma just said that!" Or, "Will jared still like Wilma after graduation?" And sometimes, "Will her friends believe her?" So you can see that this book made me think, but also make connections.
Also, this book had great detail, and I didnt want to stop reading it. I think that when Wilma tried to tell her "friends" about what had happened, they wouldnt believe her, but then they would come back because what she said, she ment. But, it ended up having her "friends" believe her right away, which I thought was weird.
I really hope that you consider reading this book. I would give it an 7 or 8. It is really good. Oh, and by the way, in my oppinion, this book might not be the best for boys. Remember, its really good!
Hold it, hold it! What do you mean, "this book might not be the best for boys"? You can't just say that and then not follow up. Why don't you think that boys wouldn't like it? And, are you talking about all boys, most boys, or just a certain type of boy?
ReplyDeleteTo go to Maggies comment, it is not a book for boys because it talks about girly stuff and how I know that is because I have read this book. Zoe was conpletly right about this book in her post. I think that zoe did a great job writing this post and if I would have to rate her on this post I would give her a 10, hands down.
ReplyDeleteI liked how she put in what she was thinking while the book was going on. I also liked how she put in a lot of detail. When she put in " I would rate this book a 7 or 8", I was kind of in shock because she put so much in about how it is the best book but I can see what she is saying because when I read it I kind of thought it might be 7, 8, or 9 because it was a easy read for me, but if that is what she put down than I have nothing against it because it is her own thoughts.
I just thought she did a great job!

well, i dont mean to be sexist, but I really think what i said in my post when i said this book is not for boys.
ReplyDeleteZoe -- What's your evidence that this book is not for boys? What are you basing your opinion on? Maddy said that the book has "girly" stuff in it, but what is that, specifically? I'm not saying that you are sexist, I just want you to back up your opinion with some examples here.
