Book Reviews of Feathers (Newbery Honor Book)
Book Review: Slow, boring read
Summary: 1 Stars
As a middle school reading teacher, I'm always looking for good books my kids would like. This book was a quick read, but failed to capture my attention at any point. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. I put it in my student library rather than offering it as a lit. circle choice because I just didn't find it interesting. I'm actually quite surprised it won any kind of award. I think the author could have spent more time developing the story and the characters. I didn't have enough information or time getting to know the characters to care about them. I think there are much better books out there for young readers.
Summary of Feathers (Newbery Honor Book)
Nobody knows what to make of the new boy in Frannie's class. Not only does he look different, but he's kind to everyone, he refuses to fight, and he doesn't even seem to mind when the other kids nickname him Jesus Boy. But as winter progresses, Frannie realizes that she's starting to see a whole lot of things in a new light: her brother's deafness, her mother's fear, her friend Samantha's faith, their classmate Trevor's anger, and her own desire for hope - "the thing with feathers." And it's all because of Jesus Boy's differences . . . and his friendship.Friendship Books
