Like his mother left for a singing contest, and the girl he likes, Scarlett is going out with someone else. Nothing much happens until a trailer parks in the dariry Maid. With the trailer having the quote "fatest boy in the word" Zachary Beaver. Everyone syarts coming to see him for the cost of 2.00.

Summary: I hate stereo typing!!
Review: When I read the book, i could relate to it in a lot of ways. I live in a very small town and nothing ever happens. You can't see the whole town from a bowling ally but it is really small. Also, when somebody new or different comes to town, people kind of treat them differently than they would others. In the book people didn't like zachary that much because he is over wieght. Most people these days look down on kids and adults like that because they don't look normal. i really enjoyed this book because it is different.

Summary: Zachary Beaver , best book on the English Festival List
Review: This book is possibly one of the best books in this years KSU English Festival list. This story tells about a large over weight boy named Zachary Beaver. Who one day with his manager, Paulie Rankin, came to the small town of Antler, Texas, in this town everyone knows everything about each other, but when Zachary comes to town it's a real mystery. Toby and his friend Cal are possibly the most curious about Zach, also with their curiosity comes with the need to help Zach with what he needs. This book teaches a good lesson: Big things can happen in little places. Over all this is a good book I recomend this to anyone who likes to read. Thanks for reading my review. : )

Summary: Zachary Beaver Review
Review: When Zachary Beavercame to Town, by kimderly Willis holt, is a story about one kid that will change the life of two friends forever. it takes place in a small town called Antler,Texas during the Vietnom War. There are a few main characters in the story named Zachary Beaver, Tobais(Toby), Calvin(Cal), and Ferris. Toby and Cal are best friends and have been since they met. Ferris works at the Bowl O Rama and Zachary and his manager,Paulie Rankin, drive into Antler. Zachary is a verry fat kid and is part of a freak show.

Toby and Cal, at first, are mean and make fun of Zachary, like everyone else. But once they got to know him, they learned what was making him act the way he does. He does this because his mother died and is embarresed about being fat. Toby and Cal both experience what it is like for someone you love to die or leave you in some way. This makes them feel terrible about friendship and getting to know someone before you judge them. It is one of those books when a stranger, Zachary in this case, comes into a towm, city, or courntry and makes everlasting memories.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: When Zachary Beaver Came to Town
Review: When Zachary Beaver Came to Town, a historical fiction novel by Kimberly Willis Holt, is an unbelievable story. It takes place during the summer of '71 in a small town in Antler, Texas. The main characters, Toby, Cal, and Zachary, start off an amazing adventure together.

When Zachary Beaver Came to Town is about a 643 pound boy who is after his life's ambition, but since he wieghs so much, others have to get him into a pick-up truck to get him anywhere! This book is about the hardships Cal and Toby have to go through, and the friendship they have that conquers their hardships. You would love this book because the moods of the characters are always changing. There are also wonderful uses of language and the story is very realistic. This story is a remarkable book and will capture the minds of all readers.

Summary: When Zachary Beaver Came to town
Review: The book was very good. I liked it. I liked the way it was told by the young man named Toby. I enjoyed the way the story and the tail about Zachary beaver. It was interesting how Zachary fell in love with Cal's (Toby's best friend) sister .I thought the "Lady Bug Waltz" (When Toby and his father put lady bugs on to the garden to eat the bad bugs) was a cool idea. I thought it gave great emphasis to the story when Cal's brother Wayne died in the Vietnam War.
