Summary: For kids who don't have an interest in reading!
Review: I am 16 years old. When I was around 8-9 years old, and I had never finished a chapter book, because I hated reading. I bought this book, and I could not put it down. I am buying it for my nephew David, with hopes he will enjoy it as much as I do to this day. The story is full of laughter and cries. It's a good one for sure!

Summary: A funny and sad book...
Review: I reccomend this book. It makes you laugh, and cry. I think that Barbara Park caught the shock of someone getting killed perfectly. This book really makes you think. At parts, Phoebe asks questions, that I never really think of. Questions like,"Who and were is god?""Where is haven?" and"Is Mick watching us right now?". Our teacher is reading it to us, and it's sometimes hard not to cry. Phoebe uses God's name in vain, but it's normal. Not to many bad words...but in the beggining, Phoebe calls Mick "A street word that you only hear on HBO and school playgrounds.". Even though it's sad, this book makes you laugh. You should really read this book.

Summary: Easy But Fun Summer Reading
Review: This novel is about a girl named Phoebe telling the story about her brother Mick's death. This book makes you laugh but also cry. Mick died in a bike accident leaving only Phoebe and her parents to deal with this great loss. Mick's death was very hard for Phoebe to deal with especially when thinking about the memories of her borther. Throughout this novel Phobeb tells all about what it feels like to lose someone in your family.

I thought that this novel was a good, fun, and enjoyable book to read. The book was especially funny when Mick and Phoebe wrote fart in the wet cement. It was very sad at the end when Phoebe wrote MICK HARTE WAS HERE close to the spot of the accident. If you are looking for a easy and fun book to read chose Mick Harte Was Here.

Summary: Mick Harte Was Here
Review: As a 9th grade student who enjoys very challenging and eye-opening books, I was recently surprised when I re-read the book Mick Harte Was Here. I first read the book when I was in the fourth grade and thought that it was a genious novel. In contrast to its size, this book is packed with true, unwavering emotions. The same still holds true today and as I re-read this novel, I felt the emotions on a whole new level. This book may be classified as a children's book, yet if it can still capture the heart of a teenager, it can capture the heart of anyone.

Summary: Wonderful book that's worth the Read
Review: This is a great book. It talks about the death of a boy from his sister's point of you. It's comical and sad. But most importanly, it teaches you a very important lesson. To wear a bike helmet. Great book, for fun and to learn a lesson.

Summary: Profanity doesn't belong in ANY book!
Review: My 9 year old daughter came home from school and was reading this book outloud to me, I was shocked! The book has a lot of profanity and should not be allowed in the schools. The author could have gotten her point across in many other words.

Summary: very well written book
Review: Now and then you come along a fantastic book that makes you cry. "Mick Hart was here" is an exellent example of this. It made me glance at my brother and choke back tears. As I can't imagine living for one day without my brother, it must have been encredubly hard for Pheobe as she would wander thoughtlessly into her brother's empty room, untouched since he died, and be so horrified at herself for letting herself go back there. Mick was killed in a terrible bike accident, and i have been in a bad bike accident also, so i felt sort of a special connection to this tear-jerking story. Luckily, i was wearing a helmet, and, while reading this story, i realized how it might have resulted if i hadn't been wearing one. I recommend this book to people that are 4th grade or older, because it's a little intense. Enjoy!
