Fish In A Tree. 9/10


Loving this book so far.  Did you notice this book title is a metaphor?  How could a writing teacher not love it right off the bat!  Overflowing with figurative language and emotion.  Ms. Hunt causes you  to root for the underdogs and celebrate the differences and difficulties that students with reading disabilities go through.  I really did enjoy reading this writing/reading/school related plot line.  The writer's craft is phenomenal and will definitely become one of my must read mentor texts!  It will be the book I use for my lessons in readers' and writers' workshop during the first weeks of school next fall!
