Rating: Summary: OUTSTANDING BOOK FOR SIXTH GRADERS Review: As a sixth grade teacher I am always looking for books that both my girls and boys will enjoy. They LOVED Weasel! First it was a success because it is not a popular book so no one had already read it. It contains so much adventure the kids wanted to keep reading. The book is very well written and each chapter is a true cliffhanger. Instead of having to motivate my kids to read, I had to make them promise to ONLY read to a certain point so we could still make predictions. I will use this book every year!!

Rating: Summary: For 10 year Olds, Great Novel... But... Review: Highschool english teachers take Note: I'm in Highschool, and am forced to read this against my Will, and The story may be fine, but doesnt help the students strive for "higher order thinking" like you want us to. This book is a fine adventure, but for making someone opening their eyes to a real-world dilemna through fiction, there is nothing to be shown. It is just the typical Good versus Evil that is overly stereotypical. I would reccomend this for a reader in about the 4th - 6th grade, and even in 6th grade it's pushing it. Make them read 1984, or Animal Farm, Brave New World, or A Clockwork Orange, even The Giver has it's merits. Don't make the Youth a bunch of boors.
Rating: Summary: I disliked it greatly! Review: I especially did not like this book. I thought it was boring the back of the book tells you the whole plot. I just thought the whole plot of the story was bad. I don't recomend it. The characters clash in an unpleasent way that is not exciting or fun in any way. I was forced to read this book in school and regret it. I in noway intend to say anything bad about the author, because I havn't read her other books. This book, though gives me a bad impression about her other books. A few people might like it but not a lot.
Rating: Summary: Weasel Review: I haven't picked up a book in three months but when Weasel came out I could hardly set the book down. Weasel is about a boy who has to make a journey across parts of the plains. The book weasel was set in the early 1800's. Weasel is one of the only surviving Indians and has a problem with all white people. Weasel dose not like other people because his Indian tribe was ran off of there land and killed by white settlers and weasel was the only person to stay. ... He likes to play games with others minds. The boy is making the journey with his dad and during the book weasel tries to kill the boys father just because he is white. This action book is very thrilling. So if you like action thrillers than weasel is the book for you.

Rating: Summary: I Liked This Book Review: I liked this book because it was very suspenceful. The characters in this book were very realistic. The main character was a little boy who was a very adventurous kid. In the beggining of this book, a father goes out hunting and gets caught in a trap made to catch indians. The person who sets the trap is a white man that was sent by the government around the time when families were started to migrate into the western part of the United States. The man was sent to kill off the indians so that they would not try to kill the white people migrating into there territory. (...) All in all i thought this was a good book
Rating: Summary: Weasel won't disappoint readers of any age. Review: I SAW THAT A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT SAID THAT THIS BOOK DOES NOT HAVE HIGHER LEVEL THINKING SKILLS AND I BELIEVE IT DOES. THIS BOOK HAS SEVERAL THEMES YOU COULD GET INTO GOOD VS. EVIL, LIGHT VS. DARK AND THAT MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE DOES MATTER IN LIFE. THE BOOK HAS PLENTY OF EXAMPLES FOR DEEP DISCUSSION. I READ IT TO FOURTH GRADERS AND EVEN THEY GET IN DEPTH WITH THIS BOOK. PLUS, THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH YOU COULD DO WITH THIS BOOK. FOR EXAMPLE, HOW THE WHITE FOLKS REMOVED THE INDIANS FROM THEIR LAND. GIVE THIS BOOK A CHANCE YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND.
