review 1: The Trouble With Rules is a good MG book about peer pressure and friendship. The word that comes to mind is cute. Summer could have been a little more influential in the story, as the book jacket suggested. And I find it really hard to believe that Mr. Allen wouldn't even listen to Nadie before he punished her for uncharacteristic behavior. Also, since when are fourth graders as (sometimes) mature as Nadie? The ending summed it all up, though. It was my favorite kind of ending. So, bottom line: if you're looking for a light read that ends with happy ever after, or a gift for a third, fourth or fifth grader, then pick up this book.
review 2: I decent story for uppper elementary kids about the perils of peer pressure. Nadie's best friend is a boy. And up ... moreuntil now that's never been an issue. But suddenly in fourth grade, the rules have changed and girls and boys can't be friends any longer. So Nadie and Nick still walk to and from school together, but they split up in the morning for the last few blocks so no one will see them arriving together. And after school they meet a few blocks away and walk home the rest of the way. But during the school day, they barely talk. This system is working out pretty well for them until a new girl in their classroom decides not to follow the rules... This one will really make kids think. less
