Rendition As Books Firegirl

At first, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes because Tom and his friend Jeff were the kind of boys I knew when I was, say, ten, and really didn't like. Rambunctous, show-offy, really annoying--yeah, those ones, the ones who would pull on the pig tails of a pretty girl or dare each other to snap the bra strap of another.

But then Jessica Feeney joins their seventh grade class. Jessica has been burned so badly that her face and body are supremely disfigured, almost heinous to look at. She's enrolled only because the hospital where she's getting long-term treatment is close by. Some of Tom's other classmates--including Jeff--start speculating about what happened. They say, maybe Jessica was playing with matches and set her sheets on fire. They say, they would rather have died than look like she does now. It's cruel gossip, and only Tom tries to see something beyond Jessica's burns.

Guys, I got the heartstring tug at the end. Abbott doesn't make it too cutesy, it is what it is. There's no Moral of the Story and no Grand Revelation. Best of all, he never writes his Tom as something he's not--he's still a twelve-year-old boy, still insecure about a lot of things... but his knowing Firegirl, however briefly, tilts his life a little askew.

If I had one small criticism, it would be that, man, this book reads YOUNG. Like, I would have put these kids in fifth grade instead of seventh.

I read this book because I was looking for Wonder read-alikes. Although this has some similar themes because a girl named Jessica with severe burns temporarily joins a high school class, it doesn't have the depth of Wonder, or the humor. I think it might work well for teens who like problem fiction. The main character works through issue of peer pressure and figuring out the kind of person he wants to be. Jessica gets some cold reactions from her classmates, even though some try to engage her in

I liked the book, but also kind of sad, because Jessica go burnt in a car fire, and I think that's more than enough for a rough past for her.

This book is something I thouroughly dislike for many reasons. If you wish for your sanity to remain intact, do not read this book.

Interest Level: 3-6; Reading Level: 4.1Have you ever done the right thing even if it cost you a friend? Tom is a seventh grade kid in a Catholic school. His best friend, Jeff, is not the nicest kid around but it's his only friend. Tom has a huge crush on a girl in his class but he doesn't have the nerve to even talk to her. One day their teacher announces that a new student will join their class and she gives them a warning about her appearance. Jessica has been badly burned and the students

This book is about a Catholic schoolboy named Tom. There's a new girl in his class Jessica who is terribly burnt and scary to look at. All the other kids are afraid of her and talk about her behind her back, especially Jeff, Tom's jerk of a friend. Tom doesn't exactly make friends with Jessica, but they slowly talk a little, and she turns him into a better person. Also, Tom imagines a lot of fantasy scenarios in his mind that are amusing and cute.
