Review: I read a book called Iggie's House. This book is about a girl named Winnie. She gets new friends who are the first black people in her street, who buy her best friend Iggie's house. Winnie's new friends are Herbie, Glenn and Tina.
I liked the part where Winnie was hiding at the Garber's (Glenn,Tina,Herbie¡¯s house) to look who were moving to Iggie's house. It was kind of dirty but it was funny too. Because Winnie's legs sink into mud. I wouldn't like to see my legs in the mud. but, Winnie didn't care when her legs sank. Well, it could be a little fun.
I didn't like Herbie at the part when he makes a fight with Winnie. I just hated him!! Herbie say that when he's family moves back to Driot(Where his family came from),Winnie will talk to people about how she made friends with the black people. Then Winnie smacks Herbie across the face. Well, I think he deserve it.. Winnie really did a lot of things for the Garber's family to keep them live at their new house!! But Herbie didn't know. I almost cried at the part Winnie slaps Herbie and then really cried at the part where Winnie comes home screaming and crying when she sees Mrs.Germs putting the signs that says ¡°GO BACK WHERE YOU BELONG.WE DON'T WANT YOUR KIND AROUND HERE!!!!! I hated Mrs.Germs from the beginning of the book to end. I have never seen a bad person like Mrs.Germs.
I was sorry for Winnie at the part where she met Mrs.Germs at the pool, Where she had a fight with Herbie(that creep!!), where she she was scolded by Mrs.Germs and not Tina and other parts too. Winnie always gets in trouble when she tries to do good thing for the Garber's family. I like Winnie the best in this book because she is so kind to everybody, she is funny, and stuff. I wish everything would work out good with the Garbers and Winnie at the school. I wish there was more books about the Grbers and Winnie. I have never read a story like this. This book is so fun!! I loved it!!

Summary: What I Think...
Review: Iggie's House is about a girl named Winnie Barringer and
her best friend Iggie who has moved away. When Winnie finds out that the new family next door is black, Winnie gets really exicted, but not everybody is happy. Mrs.Landon (or Germs Inc.) is putting out a petition to send the Garbers away just because they're black. So when the going gets tough, Winnie tries to do something about it.
What I think about this book is that it can teach you about how hard minorities have it sometimes. It's a wonderful book and teaches you not to judge a person by how they look. I recommend that if you want to read this book you should not be predjudiced and if you are it would teach you a lesson. I loved it and it's a great book to read again and again.

Summary: A COOL BOOK
Review: Iggie's House is one of my most favorite Judy Blume books.This book is about a girl named Winnie that becomes friends with the Garber children , Tina, Glenn,and Herbie, who live in Winnie's old friends house named Iggie. There's only one problem. Mrs. Landon (a.k.a. Mrs. Germs) doesn't want the Garbers to live in the neighborhood because they are black. Some parts that I really disliked was when Mrs. Germs put a mean sign in the Garbers front yard. Another part I really disliked was when Winnie slaps Herbie in the face. See if their problems are solved. I hope you will enjoy this book!!!!!

Summary: Iggie's House Review
Review: Parts of this book were dull, but overall, we liked this book. We thought it was interesting to read about the changes in race relations in the 1960s. Winnie was nice to the Garbers -- a black family who moved into her friend Iggie's old house. Everyone else was rude and mean because they didn't like black people. We think it was because they were afraid of change.

Winnie doesn't like it that people are rude to the Garbers. She makes a petition that she hopes will defend them.

The book was somewhat dull because Winnie and the Garbers did not have adventures. For example, they sneaked into a house under construction. That scene could have been more interesting. They could have gotten lost in the house or they could have gotten caught by the police or the workers. Instead, they played and left. The scene didn't seem to have a purpose.

Because the book was so short, we felt like we didn't really know Winnie. We know that she is a tomboy, that she hates being dressed up, and she lets her hair hang in her face. But we don't feel like we kneow who she is on the inside. Her parents are conservative and afraid of new things. Winnie is not like her parents in this way. She is very sensitive. She gets angry and upset easily by things she thinks are unfair.

We would recommend this book for classes who are studying civil rights. We would not recommend this book for fun reading because it is not exciting enough.

Summary: Unsatisfied.......
Review: This book tried to be politically correct, but fails because the whole premise was seen from Iggie's perspective. I would have loved to see the point of view from the Garbers; what were they thinking and feeling, and even if they wanted help or not from the so called "caring" neighbors.

Summary: Different colors go great together!
Review: This is a story about a girl named Winnie that soon finds out you cannot judge a book by its cover. Her bestfriend moved to Japan and the new people that moved in were black. Being the first black family in the neighborhood, it made many people very upset. Mrs. Landan was a neighbor that was so upset she wanted to get a petition signed to make them move away. After a short time the new kids,Glenn, Herbie, and Tina, became friends with Winnie. When this happened, Winnie decided to help get them to stay and for people to be nice to them. At the end of the story the new family ended up staying and the mean Mrs. Landan moved away. It was perfect.

I loved the story because it was easy to read and interesting. I can't imagine not liking someone because they were a different color then me. I liked Winnie because she figured this out before anyone. I am glad it is not like that where I live. I recommend it to kids 9 and up only and I think adults should read it too if they are like Mrs. Landan.
