i enjoyed reading this book.
ReplyDeleteI liked this book very much and I loved the message it told me. I also like it because it makes you think "could this happen to me", but to me the book was kind of plain but i would recommend this book to anyone who reads about friendship.

This book seems real. Sometimes it's hard to be friends with everyone at school, because other kids will make fun of you.

I think that Spider was NOT being a good friend.
ReplyDeleteThis book was one of the best books i have ever READ. It was good becyase it explained everything so clearly. It was very understanding and i would recomend it to someone else! I liked how it was about fifth grade and i am in fifth grade. I liked it also because it was about a sport I like, Basketball. I like Spider and the library teacher because she helps with Spider's best friend Trey and his issues!

ReplyDeleteAlong came Spider was one of the best Children's Book Awards I read so far! I mostly liked how Spider got his name- Spider! This book was very clear and had no out-of-subject paragraphs. I really think that other people should get o read this book too.
