I think this book was very boring because it is just about 2 boys and a dog that tries to find their dad in America because their mom died. Basically, everybody was nice to them in the story so it was very boring. CLARA
ReplyDeleteI think this book was OK. I thinks it's okay because it wasn't boring. For example, I could imagine and visualize the story. It looks like it was written to be short but in my opinion it could of been a lot longer which might have made it more detailed and would of made it more interesting and would grab readers attention.

I really liked the book Libertad,because Libertad is usally always on an adventure witch makes the book so interesting.Another reason why i liked the book Libertad is because of the way the author alma fullerton put the words into poem form that is the reason why i like the book libertad.

I really like the book Libertad because it was a basic life story with a dramatic twist, for example, you would not think the kids would travel to find their father.You would have thought they would just stayed there with their freinds. I really liked the form of writing because it was in the style of a poem. I like the style because it takes you to a place,for example, when they were on the train tracks you could really picture it because it had a lot of detail and discription.
ReplyDeleteLibertad was such a good book its the one i'm going to vote for. Alot of my friends like it to. I liked bacause good life story about tow boys witch thier fauther left them and thier mother died. I also really liked the ryhem of it well it was a good book

I really liked the book Libertad because I could really imagine and visualize the story as I read. I thought the way it was written was unique beacause it was in poem form! You don't see that everyday!
ReplyDeleteI NEVER wanted to put the book down!
I thought it was really wierd how their mother died though. :(

I agree Katie 5 I could also visualize the story and also I could imagine I was in the story. It was also weird that their mother died..... it was sad. I didn't like that but it's life when you get old you pass away. Harrison :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked this book alot. I liked it because it really reminds me of how some people live, and how much work they have to put in to go to get food or go to school or have a place to call home! Here some kids would die for the life we have but we don't realize how LUCKY we are! This story is sad and I really felt like I was in the book!

I like Libertad bacause it sends a message to the readers about how lucky we are to be able to go to school, and not have to work in a dump. I could relate to this because when I went to Cuba when I was four, I visited a village. My brother and I saw alot of people wearing some dirty clothes and had very little food.JR Grade 5
ReplyDeleteLibertad was a great adventure book because they are doing different things on their path to Papi in Texas. The other reason is that it was a little emotional when Libertad and Julio lost their Mami in the trash and that their Papi is sooooo far away from them. My favourite part of this book was when they arrived at Texas and lived happily ever after!!!!!!!! BILLY
ReplyDeleteLibertad was a amazing book to begin with. In one part of the book when the mother died it brought tears to my eyes. When her son was watching her die he played music to make the spirts come to life. The end of the book really made my heart pound because they were going through the U.S/Texas border and I got nervous if they were going to make it to see their father again. ZANDER 5
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the book I thought to myself how luckey we are to be in this great country and not be working in a dump with your dad gone all the time and with your mom dead. I wonder why people are treated diferently in other countries? I think that governments need to work harder so their people can have freedom in what they do. Also I liked how the writer arranged, but if if the writer didn't write it in that format the story might have been less powerful.But what happened in the end of the story was most touching when they were reunited with their father. Overall this book was touching and a great story, but I think it need to be longer.

I really loved Libertad because Libertad takes care of his little brother Julio, and it was sad because their dad left them to find a job in America and their mom died. When I found out in the book that they were going to go find their dad I hoped that they would find him. Libertad went through all that hard work to have money and to get Julio into school. My favourite part was when Libertad tries to get Julio in to school and when Libertad lets Julio get a dog. It was very interesting because they did everything for each other and for themseves but they play really good music on the streets for money to have food or to travel. I think it was a great book.

Libertad was the first book I read in silverbirch this year. At first I really liked it how it was written like poetry. I liked Libertad's perspective but it was really sad about the mother. I also liked the brothers' and dog's bond. Kayleigh
ReplyDeleteLibertad was a very disturbing but happy book. I really enjoy it. I thought that since the borhters were living poor it made their chemistry stonger. It was enjoyable book becuase of all the adventure.
ReplyDeleteI also liked Libertad like Jahkeem and I also don't understand why some people thought it was boring. It was also a bit sad when there mother died.
ReplyDeleteAnthony :D
I really admire the book Libertad because it is very adventurous,but it is sad at the same time.The way you wrote the book was very interestig because a lot of books are not written in poetry form.This form was new to us and we enjoyed it.
ReplyDelete:) Aretha and Emily :D
This book was very inspiring. I admire Libertad for all the acomplishments and commitments he made to his brother, such as when he saved up money to bring him to school and letting himself starve, always putting himself last to think about. I agree with Aretha and emily because of how this book was beautifully written in poetry form. I think about why the author has written about the past when there was war and child labour happening, reminding me of the earthquake in Haiti and how developing countries are suffering now. I enjoyed reading this book alot. Jenny :)
