Ok so you may recall my distaste for this book in another post, I still don't think it's a great book. There is a lot of ugliness between these children and they go as far as cutting Laura hair off. I think this book is best served to children with talks of bullying and meanness. I am not a fan of this book. If you are a teacher maybe you can have a lesson about how not to act with this book otherwise, I don't think it's worth reading.
