Summary: A thriller of a book
Review: My Lousiana Sky is a interesting book. I recommend it to many young readers. Young or old, I think you would enjoy this book. I liked the respect that was in the book. The reason why I rated this a four was because it was a little hard to understand and follow at certain times through out the book.

My Louisiana Sky

Tiger Ann is a typical girl who is bright in school and good at baseball. The unfortunate part about her life is that the girls in her class often tease her about her family. Tiger knows that her family is rather different from many other families. They are mentally slow, and Tiger keeps her embarrassment hidden as long as her grandmother runs the household. Suddenly Granny dies, and Tiger is left to the care of her parents with her aunt. She offers Tiger Ann to come live with her, but Tiger has to make the right choice.

My favorite part in the story was when Jesse Wade, her friend, kisses her when she least expected it. She ran away from him telling him to stay away from her. She didn't think or what want her friendship with Jesse Wade to become like that. She just didn't think of him that way. After she started talking to him again and forgave him for the kiss, she thought that he wasn't that bad and was actually glad that HE was the one that gave her first kiss. So after that, they still stayed as best friends.

I enjoyed this book very much. At the beginning, it was boring and I wanted to put it down, but then , as I got further into the story, I found it much more interesting. My teacher, Mrs. Stepp recommended this book. I think it is a great book for students between the ages of 10-13, or even adults too! It tells how someone should not like them because of their family, but how they should like someone for the way they are. All in all, this is a fascinating book!

Summary: wonderful book about values
Review: The parents of the main character,Tiger, are retarded, and being cared for by her grandmother. As Tiger gets older she becomes more ands more embarassed by her parents behavior. The other girls whisper and giggle, and she is not invited to parties. When her grandmother dies she is given the opportunity to move far away with an aunt who escaped the "family situation" years before, and reinvent herself as her aunt did. As she gets to know her aunt more and more she begins to see the values of her sophisticated, elegant aunt in a new light, and to see her parents and her community from a new perspective.

Summary: The best kids book
Review: This Book was great. It had great discription, so you felt like you were watching the story instead of reading it. Some parts were very slow but if you kept on reading My Louisiana Sky you come across a very interesting part. It's also a perfect length. Its not to long and its not to short. The author did a really good job of ending the book. It didn't leave you hanging.

Summary: A Very Good Book
Review: This was a truly incredible book. With everything that the main character, Tiger Ann, did there was such a hope. This book really made me think about the struggles of kids with mentally retarded parents or siblings. It is really hard for kids to put up with the accusations that they are probablly just as retarded at their parents or brothers and sisters. I would recommend this book to girls that enjoy a book with tremendous feeling depth in it.
