Summary: Book review for View From The Cherry Tree
Review: The View from the Cherry Tree is mainly about a kid named Robby (Rob) who witnesses a murder while in a Cherry tree inhis yard next door. After a short disagreement someone with large hands shoves the Crabby Mrs. Calloway out the window. Now, with his sisters wedding coming up in a few days and relatives crashing in their house unexpectedly he is trying to convince the police, his parents, and anyone that it wasn't an accident. He is determined to prove that she was murederd. Soon this isn't his only problem. Someone is trying to shut him up from trying to tell anyone the truth. Pots mysteriously "fall" by themselves, almost getting hit by a .22, and his chicken is poisoned. Someone is out to get him. This book has a lot of suspense in it for mystery lovers. I thought it was a very good book because it was well written with lots of detail. If your not very interested in mystery books maybe this one will change your mind. when I read this book in class I couldn't wait till the next day when we would read it again. If you pay close attention you may even find out who the murderer is before Robby. If you like looking for clues and reading mysteries I recommend this book. It's also a really good read aloud for classroom teachers who are looking for a good book. I liked this book.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!!
Review: The View from the Cherry Tree was a great book. Rob was a great detective. Mrs. Calloway was rude and selfish but how she was murdered was quite interesting. She was pushed out the window by *blank*.You and Rob are left to figure out who did this. You are on your own. Rob's family and friends are busy with Darcy's wedding. Who murdered Mrs. Calloway?

Review: The View from the Cherry Tree
By: Willo Davis Roberts
Reviewed by: Evan Nagayama
Period: 5

The View from the Cherry Tree by Willo Davis Roberts is one book that I have enjoyed reading. The book starts out with a boy named Rob and his sister is getting married. Many people are stopping by his house to help or to visit every day. The regular meals are not served all the time and things are really out of order. Rob gets no attention and he is waiting for things to get back to normal. Rob often sits in a cherry tree where he can see his neighbors' house. The old lady that lives next door is not liked by any one in the neighborhood, because she is extremely mean. One evening, Rob climbs into the tree to relax away from the family and he sees the mean lady in her house. All of a sudden as she leans out to get rid of a cat, she is pushed out by two hands that Rob can not identify. Rob tells a few people that he actually saw a murder while most people think it was an accident, including the police. Soon a pot almost hits him, then he is shot at, and then his food is poisoned. There was a murder and the person knows that Rob has seen the crime and he is after him.

I liked this book because it was interesting to read. The back of the book made me interested in the book and while I read, I looked forward to the exciting part. "Something hit the step between his feet with that a sharp splintering sound. Rob glanced down, frowning, and saw that a bit of the wood had been torn away." This part of the book was when Rob was being shot at, but luckily didn't get hit. In the book, Rob tries to re-create the scene in his mind and find out who the killer is. The problem is that he has made up other stories before that no one will believe him now. Also his family is caught up in the wedding, so that Rob has to find the killer himself.

There was really no reason why I disliked the book, because it was interesting and the story flowed fast enough. Overall I really liked this book and it one that I recommend. As Rob gets closer to the killer, more things seem to happen and he gets desperate to tell someone about what he has seen. He tries to call the police, but even they don't listen, because they think it's a fake call. It kept me reading, because I was wondering how Rob was going to make people listen to him and find the killer before he was killed himself.

My favorite part is in the end where everything is revealed and he is in the ladies house with the murderer. He is trapped in the highest point of the house and the killer is blocking the door. Rob remembers that he has a jar full of spiders in his pocket and he throws it at the man. The man is very scared, but the jar doesn't break and the spiders don't come out. So the jar is kicked aside and the murderer comes closer as Rob backs up to the window. Then Rob picks up a huge black widow from the window sill and throws it at the man. Terrified the man tries to get it off him and Rob runs away as the police arrive to arrest the killer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Book By Willo!
Review: This book is a really good book by Willo Davis Roberts. Anyway, it's about this kid who, up in a cherry tree, sees his neighbor get murdered. The only thing is, everyone believes it was an accident, and no one will believe him when he says the woman was murdered. Will he manage to convince people, or will the killer get him first?

Rating: 5 stars
