"Jeremy gasped, his throat tight with the need to scream, as blood splattered his face and icy water washed over his body.His arms and legs thrashed as he struggled to escape."

I really liked the book The Mealworm Diaries because it was funny, had a great plot, had some sad parts, and through out the book you learned alot about the main character. I would reccomend this book to everyone! =) Athena
ReplyDeleteYeah Athena I agree although I am still reading the book it is sadbut some parts are really good and gets you hooked on to the book and never let's you put down the book. Harrison :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked this book because it takes place right here in Toronto and it's natural to have a problem with a kid in the class.It's also natural to wet your bed when you have a very bad dream. I don't blame Jeremy for feeling scared to show his scar because if I had scar like that I would give money not to wear shorts because I wouldbe thinking inside my head:everybody is going to laugh and no one is going be sympathetic,i'm to terrified to show it,I'll only wear shorts with my family,and I'll die of teasing,even my best friend will laugh at the bullies jokes.

ReplyDeleteI am finished reading the book and sadness ran into my eyes but such a great book. I would like to read this book again because it's so fantastic and from my other comment I said it kept you hooked and I got hooked intel 9:30 at night. Harrison :)

I agree with Giorgia because as she said, throughout the book you learn so much more about the characters!
ReplyDeleteAlice :D
I enjoyed this book becuase it grabbed my attention from the first sentence "Jeremy gasped, his throat tight with the need to scream, as blood splattered his face and icy water washed over his body." and it made me think what is happening, why did blood splatter his face. But by the first page I thought it was about a murder mystery becuase of the words he used such as, his throat was tight with the need to scream and becuase the mention of blood.

I think the mealworm diaries and the nine lives of travis keating are very similar. This is because neither of them really fit in. Also they both don't have on parent or the other. I found this book very interesting but needed some more filling.

I enjoyed this book because it really grabbed my attention, even the first sentence gave you a pretty good sense of what the book would be like. It made me stop and think what is happening, why was his throat with the need to scream? Why did blood spatter his face? Why did icy water wash over his body? So many questions gave me the urge to read on.
ReplyDeleteThis book was a great read, and I'd reccomend it to anybody who likes to have a good laugh!

We liked this book because it was funny and heart warming for example:One of the characters killed one of his friend's worms. When his friend found out he felt bad and gave him his other worm.One of the funny parts of the book was when one of the characters tried to smell his crotch.

I loved this book because when I started I was like "Oh my gosh, what's going to happen next?" In the middle I was like "I don't get it." but then at the end it explained itself and then I realized that I loved this book!

I also agree with Christine because the beginning is grabbing you in to the story more and it gets your attention. So the beginning basically wants you to read more. Alice ☺
ReplyDeleteI thought the beginning of this book was really well done. It caught my attention and made me think "whats going to happen next?" It was exciting and as I got further into the book, the more you get into the story, as Alice mentioned. I thought that Aaron's personality inside is very kind and gentle, hes just very pumped up and excited, which is probably why he was talking so much. I would recommend this book to people who like humourous stories also if your very unpredictible. Jenny 6
ReplyDeleteI tought this book was good because it was really descriptive but sometimes it left you wondering so you didn't understand some of the text. My favourite character was Aaron because he is weird and unique.
ReplyDeleteI thought this book was really good to read and I thought that the plot was awesome. I think that the kids shouldnt have been mean to the kid with a problem. They should include him in games and im glad that Jeremy was sort of nice to him... I really liked the part when Jeremy showed him giant scar to the class and most people thought it was cool but some girls thought it was gross. I think this book should be good for ANYONE to read and enjoy. :)

I really liked this book because i displays true friendship and the importance of letting someone in. I can honestly say at first i would done what jeremy did, ignore and be disgusted by Aron. This book is so realistic and connectable.
ReplyDeleteI like THE MEALWORM DIARIES because of when two boys dressed up one of the worms like Superman and when another boy dressed up theirs like Darth Vaider but to be honest kind of weird and sad that one of the children killed his worm.JR Grade:5 SORRY
ReplyDeleteIn "Meal Worm Diaries" I really liked how Jeremy in the end accepted Aaron. I liked this because Jeremy gets annoyed with Aaron and wants him to leave him alone but he in the end Jeremy does not mind Aaron. Also Jeremy shows friendship like Alexx said. Jeremy shows friendship by when he squished Spot and first let Aaron take the blame but he told the truth. Kayleigh
