ReplyDeletevery scintific. talk about a long lost relative. I thout the akward reunion was the best part of the book. i would definatly chang ethe bully feeling about black people and gold blood. ive fell down and scraped myself a million times and dont remeber anything about gold blood. Yet the comment serves its point when he says it. sometimes stuff like that hurts a bit not to mention ruin your day. all in all the story was very interesting.
Breanna...you're right that words can hurt feelings! This story has a great message! Thanks for reading it and for blogging!

ReplyDeleteI really liked the meaning in this story. I think that it gives a wonderful message. It was funny, exciting, and interesting all at once. My favorite part was when Brendan and his friend were firing dolls from the window with a catapult. That was hilarious! I didn't really expect this book to be interesting, but someone told me it was good so I tried it out. Boy, was I wrong when I said it was going to be boring! What I think I would change was when the bullies made fun of him at the park, and said he had "purple blood" just because of what color he was. I thought that was really unfair and mean. My favorite character is Brendan because he is trying to figure out stuff all the time, because he wants to be a scientist. I liked all the rocks in the story, because I collect rocks too!
I really would advise anyone to read this, girls and boys. Because it has a fantastic message, great characters, and a scientific feel to it, "Brendan Buckley's Universe and Everything in it" truly deserves to be a Sunshine State Book. I am so glad I read it, and now I can't wait to keep reading Sunshine State Books!

ReplyDeleteI Loved This Book. We Are All The Same In Life.
I loved the book and I thought that the big book of questions was a great idea and i think i will make one myself! I thought that the bullies were mean and rude. If i could change one part of the story it would be him driving. I loved it so much that I read it in one day.
