I tried to read that once but it seemed so slow at the beginning, did it ever pick up?

My 8th Graders are reading "That Was Then, This Is Now" and my 7th Graders are reading "Freak the Mighty", so I am reading them again (absolutely refused to teach "Hatchet" again - can't stand that book.)

Personally, I am finishing "The Sixth Lamentation". It's about the fallout of the betrayal of an underground group who fought the Nazis in France, set in present day England.

I hate Hatchet, too.

My mom has me read the books she foists on her 3rd graders because then she can rope me into projects. I've read a lot of elementary school books lately. My favorite was Lion Library.

LOVE LOVE LOVE That Was Then, This is Now. Outsiders is one of my favorite books ever so once I read Outsiders I had to read everything else by S.E. Hinton lol.

it did pick up, but it took a while. it was a little predictable but otherwise enjoyable. i actually really like her writing style, but i guess the book itself wasn't grabbing me.
