Great book for 5th graders!!I

I think that its a good book because it talks about friendship, and who your real friends are. I think if you like to hear exiting stories this would be the book for you. I think you should eather buy this book or check it out from the library.

Any kid 10 or older should read this book.

I really loved this book because it has facts that you could compare to your own life and is very realistic. It's about a popular gil named Hannah who has a brother with MD (Muscular Distrophy) who's name is Ian. A boy named Malcom is in the 6th grade nerd and he grew up with Hannah and makes Ian always feel better. Hannah feels it's her job to stick up for Malcom but one time she dosen't and feels crummy about it. In the end Hannah finds out who her real friends are and that she should be proud of her own life and shouldn't try to hide it.

Super read aloud for the beginning of the school year!

This book confronted many social issues students face in the intermediate grade level. The situations confronted by Hannah, Ian, and Malcolm provide a springboard for classroom discussions on morals, friendship, loyalty, and cliques.

Great book for 5 and 6 graders.

Marrying Malcolm Murgatroyd was about a girl wants to stay cool in school her name is Hannah.After school she hangs out with the least popular kid in school, Malcolm Murgatroyod who is Hannah's neighor,and her brother Ian's best freind.She didn't want her freinds to know. Find out what happens in the end your self read the book it's really great!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!

I love this book! It deals with how cruel children can be when they are part of the "in" group as opposed to the "out" group. It alsos shows that no matter how bad someone may look, it doesn't determine the size of their heart.
