Crenshaw Chapter Sampler Kindle Edition

I have read several books by Katherine Applegate, and I have enjoyed all of them some more than others, of course. As a teacher, I would include this YA novel in my classroom library as it deals with homelessness and how it affects children. It appeals to children from about fourth grade through ninth grade, but it is easy to read, maybe fourth grade reading level.

I finally read the whole book, not just the sampler because it was very good book to read together as a family. It's a very poignant and beautiful story. Only thing is the story comes to an end unexpectedly I thought, even though it there is a natural cadence to the stop. It is hard to explain. I think the author felt she has made her point, but there is a lingering. Still, a great book to read, and sure to stir a lot of questions if read together as a family.

Quick read. Would be happy to give to all my cat loving friends! Read through this book quite fast. Amen.

Great book through the eyes of a child. Must find more of her books to read. Glad we found this author.

The kid's point of view is given very effectively. I want to read more. I knew it was a sampler but in this case a chapter is a page long. The low-key humor is perfectly in line with my tastes. I love Katherine Applegate's writing and her imagination. I plan to read more of her books; and maybe buy this one. This sample hints at deeper plotlines in the full length book.

Katherine Applegate has captured the true conversational tone of a 4th-into-5th grader. From the first sentence, I was flipping pages. Clever, imaginative and just plain FUN, the introduction of Crenshaw is magic. I'm on a pending list to read and review the entire book, and so hoping to have the opportunity. Hello, Macmillan, it's me, waiting to continue Crenshaw and Jackson's journey!

One thing though their is a lot of family hangouts. I would say 60 percent family and 40 percent Crenshaw. Overall good book!

Once children read Crenshaw Chapter Sampler, they will want to read the entire book. The sampler contains nine very funny short chapters about an unusual boy and an unusual strange acting cat, and the boy’s unusual family.

Confesso que não me empolguei muito no começo, mas a história me agradou ao finalizar a leitura. Mal posso esperar para ler outras obras da autora.

El comienzo no es tan bonito como el de "Iván", que fue el motivo por el que busqué más libros de su autora, pero promete.
