A girl and a boy learn how important it is to make your own fun.They go to there grandma’s house every summer.Each year they go it gets more fun.The first few summers though were not so fun because there was not much to do but work.After a while they started finding things to do.One thing they liked to do was go to the coffee shop in talk.Another favorite activity was when grandma started taking them to lots of different places, such as fairs,picnics,fishing. When grandma brought them places like that they were lucky.So I think it was an okay story.But it could have been better if there was more action and purpose to the book. Rating: 2 / 5

Recommendation
I recommend this book for two reasons. The first one is that it shows a lot about doing things that you don�t want to but must do. �Why do we have to go to grandma�s house it�s not fair,� Joe and Mary-Alice questioned. The second reason that I like the book is that it is about having friends but leaving them when you have to leave for vacation at your grandma�s house. �I miss all of my friends back home,� is what Mary-Alice said. This book also has a lot of action such as this �Somebody on horseback had blown up grandma�s mailbox sky high.� In conclusion, I think this book is a great book to read when you have time, I liked it and I think you will too.

The novel was ok . It wasn’t the best book i read,but it still caught my attention.Because of the events that took place in ever chapter.The chapters were funny ,weird and some where even seriouse.The chapters kept me reading for more hopeing the next chapter was just as interesting as the last . the book is not for people that want a action pack book .

For read aloud my teacher read this but we changed to a different book because it was so boring and you could,nt even understand what was going on in the chapter book. So don’t ever begin to read this story because it would take time away from books that are good. Rating: 1 / 5
