Class Novel Review (Fish in a Tree)
In class for about the past 2 terms we have been doing a novel and the book we are reading is called Fish in a Tree. This book is about a girl named Ally who gets bullied for her inability to read but she finds out she has dyslexia but learns to cope with it. I think this was a great novel because it teaches children not to judge people especially when you don’t know what’s going on inside or outside school. Another reason why I think this novel was so great is because my teacher gives us questions on every few chapters and we had to think longer and harder then some people wanted to. The main character, Ally overcame a whole bunch of fears she had but then she overcame most of them such as afraid 0f being bullied, getting embarrassed, not having friends and more. Albert (one of Ally’s friends) is a smart kid that it really good at science, math and more but gets bullied and when he tells his friends about it they say “Why not fight back” but he says he doesn’t believe in violence, but later on in the book his bullies hurt his friends and he fights back then overcomes his fear. Kiesha (Ally’s other friend) is a great baker who doesn’t let ANYONE mess with her and since she has a darker skin tone she has probably dealt with racism. Shay is one of Ally’s bullies who have rich parents and all the friends she had were just scared of also being bullied, she has to try and be great at every thing because her mom pressures her and gets mad when she is 1 upped. Jessica is one of Shay’s quote on quote friends that admires Ally for her bravery to stand up to Shay and later on in the book she overcomes her fear of being bullied and stands up to Shay.
