review 1: Pages: 170Lexile: 650/ Ages 8-11Summary:Bobby is not your average 4th grader. He doesn't like sports, even though his Dad played pro-football, and his sister is the quarterback of her school team. He loves to draw and go rock hunting with his friend Holly. That is right........up until 4th grade his best friend is Holly...a girl. However, once 4th grade starts, Bobby is surprised to see Holly hanging around with just girls, especially the most popular girl in the grade: Jillian. Holly stops coming by Bobby's house and they do not walk to school together. Then the most horrible thing happens; Bobby winds up running against Holly for the Student Council race. Who will win? Can Bobby and Holly ever be friends again?Comments/Recommendations:This was a very good book fo... morer kids starting to read chapter books; especially 4th graders, since this book is all about fourth graders. It is a great book for boys because it puts boys vs. girls, but in the end everyone sees that it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, you can still be friends. The book also teaches the kids about elections and bullying. I think this is a very good read for boy and girls too!Reviewed By: Jen T.
review 2: Bobby and Holly have been friends forever - something that they don't broadcast at school. Why? Well, because boys and girls aren't supposed to be friends, right? As they start their 4th grade year together, things start to change. Holly seems to be getting more interested in clothing and hairstyles and such. And she's hanging out with the "girly girls". But that's okay, because Bobby and Holly are still friends away from school. Holly even gives Bobby the goldfish that she wins at the fair. But then, things start to go wrong and before Bobby even realizes what has happened, he and Holly aren't speaking to each other. The problem only grows because of the pressure put on them by their "school friends." Everyone is taking sides. Is this the end of their friendship? A great story about trying to be who you are in a culture that demands conformity. Though change is always happening, friendship can still remain, but it requires patience and understanding and trust. less
