Question

Is it an easy enough read for a ten year old & would a ten year old girl like this book?

thanks =]

Answer 1

absolutely, it's about a kid that saves an owls nesting area, the kids are the hero's.

Answer 2

Oh, it's easy enough, just not very absorbing. I read it and couldn't really see the point of it. Try something else...my little sister is really big on Cornelia Funke (The Thief Lord, Inkheart, Inkspell, Dragon Rider), and Roald Dahl (The BFG, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Fantastic Mr. Fox) is excellent as a kid's poet and author. Yes, definitely get her some of Roald Dahl's books!

Maybe she'll want to delve into the classics as well. The Secret Garden and Anne of Green Gables are solidly dependable - I liked both in elementary school.

Answer 3

Jacqueline Wilson. particularly, whilst i became into 10, I used to envision Jacqueline Wilson continuously. Her books are witty and he or she is conscious the factors of perspectives and personalities of youthful toddlers. She additionally portrays in her books, the certainty of how toddlers have perplexing lives, who have no father and mom, divorced father and mom, undesirable acquaintances, debt issues and severe circumstances and that i think of that's what makes her novels thrilling, with the aid of characters she writes her thoughts approximately. If she's into horror and fable, I used to envision Darren Shan, and that they've been compelling novels some boy who went to a freak tutor along with his chum and ended up transforming into a vampire assistant to between the performers for something of his existence. Or, you may supply her women folk's books like the Naughty female's handbook to existence with the aid of fact to them that's grown up and cool, however the e book is surely humorous. you may supply her books on spellcasting and witchcraft if she's into that variety of element. suggestions analyzing and astral projecting may well be solid. you may supply her vouchers at a e book shop so she could browse and p.c.. her very own books that she's drawn to. and in specific situations human beings are additionally chuffed once you in basic terms purchase them goodies, instead.

Answer 4

Any book you can understand(regardless of what parents say)is a good book to read. If you enjoy reading it is great to start early in life rather than miss opportunities that others miss until they are a lot older. Happy reading, ENJOY!

Hoot is an exciting book by Carl Hiaasen. It takes place in small Coconut Cove, Florida near the everglades. When the Mother Paula's Pancake company wants to build their 449th Pancake House on a lot with tiny burrowing owls already living there, problems begin for everyone.
Roy Eberhardt, a quiet 12 year old boy, just moved in from Montana. While being bullied by Dana Matherson on the bus, he notices a boy with no shoes or backpack running right past the bus. Roy gets suspicious and sets out to find him. After Roy finally finds Mullet Fingers (the running boy) and meets his stepsister Beatrice Leep, they hatch a plan to save the burrowing owls at the future site of the pancake house. But, things have already been happening at the pancake house construction site. First the survey stakes were taken out, then baby alligators were put in the porta potties, a cop car's windows were spray painted, the seats of the bulldozers were taken, etc. These acts of vandalisms just keep delaying the building and were upsetting the Pancake Company, the builders, and the police. Who's doing this and why?

I am a sixth grader and this is my book review. Hoot is a great book! It is an excellent book for a 5th to 8th grade reading level. You won't be able to put this book down. It is an adventure and extremely funny. The 3 kids in Hoot set out on a mission to save endangered owls. The kids are drawn together because of an accident which forms a strong friendship. I love that these 3 very different individuals became friends. This friendship grows throughout the book and is tested several times. Some funny parts of this book are when someone puts alligators in the port-a-potty. Also when scary attack dogs come onto the property and scare the manager of the building. I also enjoyed all the pranks the people are playing on the manager of the building. This story shows how determined the characters are to help the owls, giving up is just not an option for them. Hoot is Newberry Honor Book. I think you'll love this book. If you enjoy this book the author, Carl Hiaasen also wrote Flush. As you can see Hoot is not just for kids, grown ups will love it too. So get Hoot for yourself or as a gift, either way you or someone else will love it. So you should go out and get Hoot! AES"
