This book is awsome people who like books about best friends should read this and see what happens in the adventures of Lydia and Julie!!

This summer, Poor Rafe is sent to a "school-like" summer camp run by a tough army sergeant. He encounters this kid named Doolin who won't stop harassing his cabin.I loved the illustrations and the reminders about how difficult it can be to be a middle schooler, no matter where you are! My favorite part of the book is the camaraderie that the Muskrat cabin develops and what it teaches Rafe about himself...it was a bit "Wonder"-ish.

i recommend this book to kids who like realistic fiction

It was an awful book about dead birds. It does say stuff about friendship but it is not worth reading.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is always our first read aloud book at the beginning of 4th grade. Kids have so much fun reading about Peter and his crazy little brother Fudge, that they get hooked on Judy Blume's books. Blubber is quite different from the Fudge books, however. This story follows a middle-school aged girl named Jill and centers around her relationship with a girl named Linda who is a victim of pretty terrible bullying. Towards the beginning, Linda is giving a report about whales. Kids pass notes about her saying that "Blubber" is a good name for her. Will Jill take a stand against bullying or become a bully herself? Read to find out. (p.s. If you like to read about middle school peer pressure, you also might like Wringer buy Spinelli.)
