Sixth Grade Can Really Kill You

This is a wonderful book! I am a Special Education Class Instructional Aide. I am currently reading this book with my students and they love it! Since my students are in a Resource Class like Helen, they can really relate. They enjoy laughing at the situations that Helen gets herself into and they can understand with how she feels. An excellent book to read with students, and at my school it just happens to also be an AR book, so not only do the students enjoy the book, but they can take AR test to earn points.

Great Book Thrilling Adventure

The book Sixth Grade can Really kill you is one of the best books i have read this year. It starts with a girl named Helen she is a girl who has trouble reading and writing. the worst thing that she thinks that has happened to her this year is that she does not get the teacher that she wants she got Mrs.lobb and she is not all she is cracked up to be but, helen has her crush in her class his name is Jimmy. None of her friends are in her class. But, lives up to her nickname "Bad Helen" by doing stuff to Mrs.Lobb. Her mom is really on her back about getting good grades but, is really nice about it. Helen also has a birthday coming up and has a skating party. Well that is all i am going to tell you now you will have to read the book.

Yeah it sure is!

Oh how frustrating it can be when you first enter 6th grade! I highly reccomend this book's sequel, "Special Education Kills Even More" which is about poor Helen's trials and tribulations in Special Ed class, where she becomes a jaded young adult, frustrated at the unability of the teacher to meet her needs and the enormous class size. She escapes to Hollywood to become a star. The title of that sequel is "Helen Hunts for Hollywood" and is highly reccomended for troubled young adults seeking fame.

The best books come from Barthe DeCleaments.

These books are really good. Why? Because I personally don't like to read, I have already read 4th grade,5th,and 6th grade. They are the best books. And I can't wait to read 7th grade!
