Mick Harte Was Here

Summary: The kids kept telling me it was a great book...they're right
Review: Several students told me how they loved this book, but I'd never read it. I finally took the time to do it and now understand why students who "supposedly" read at 2nd grade level could race through this "4th grade level" book. It's an incredibly good story. I was very moved on several levels. Great for private reading, read aloud, big discussions. Grief, friendship, loyalty, bike safety, story writing, dialogue. It's all here.

Summary: This is a great book
Review: Mick Harte was a great kid. It shouldn't have happend to him. That's what is bugging Pheob. Mick was Pheob's brother. Mick was in a bicycle crash. Pheob thought it was her fault. Pheob said "If I only would've rode his bike home like he asked me, he would still be here." The whole Harte family was droopy. They wouldn't eat dinner at the table or together. Pheob didn't go to school. Mr.Harte and Mrs.Harte didn't go to work. This whole family is depressed. To find out what else happens to this family read this book Mick Harte was here.

Summary: A heart wrenching, outstanding book for people of all ages!!
Review: I am a 40 year old woman who read this book at the instistance of her 11 year old daughter. I insisted that my mother read it. It can be heart wrenchingly sad and funny at the same time - just like a real wake where grieving family and friends tell funny and loving stories of the decesased. I wouldn't say it is the best book I have ever read - but it is certainly one of the best. It has been several months since I have read this book and I cannot get it out of my mind. I have encouraged several young people as well as their parents to read it. This is a book that will haunt you forever.

Summary: I read this book when I was ten, and I was deeply moved.
Review: Mick Harte is the story of the memories caused by one boy. He was killed which is mentioned in the very first line. Despite his death, he brought his family great joy. Even if they didn't know it at the time. He did everthing from refuse to dress nice for church to dress up as the inventor of the toliet for Halloween. This book helps you to learn who other people cope with the death of loved ones. This book had to the power to make you laugh and cry, which I did both. It also made me want to treat my own sister with more respect, because you never know what can happen.
