Rabble Starkey

Rabble Starkey was an A++ book. One day Rabbles dad ran off with another person and left Rabble and her mom to fend for themselves. So then Rabble finds her and her mom living in the garage of a rich friends house (the Bigelows house). Then Mrs. Bigelow gets sick and has to go to the hospital. If you like suspenseful, fun to read stories than you have to read "Rabble Starkey". Another book I recommend is "Number the Stars", also by Lois Lowry.

I very good book about growing up!

I thought that this was very good book. Even though there was no specific plot, the book seemed to be leading to something at each word written. The book was not full of action excitement, but it was full of the kind of excitement that will make you cry or get scared. To me, this was a book that even after I finished reading the words, I had to think about in order to finish the book.-Katharine Manning, American School In Japan, 6th Grade

This is the best book I ever read!

Rabble Starkey is my favorite book.In fact, I re-read it last night. I felt like I knew Rabble,Veronica,Gunther, & Sweet-Ho.It was almost as though I lived in Highriver.It was so realistic and heart-warming. I really enjoyed reading it.I recommended it to my friends,and they've been reading it.I loved it!It was so true,so unlike anything I've read before.It was fantastic!
