I love this book! In third grade, I had a reading group and chose this book to read.
In these brillliant pages, you'll find a wolf hybrid, Sharon Hinkler, glow ropes, and Ms. Jewel. I'd recommend this book to anybody, even if they're not interested in wolf hybrids because I don't think too much of them myself, but I love this book anyway.

I am a 4th grade teacher and I wanted a quick read-aloud book for my students. I really enjoyed Barthe DeClements when I was a kid, so I thought I'd give this one a try. The story is about a girl named Marianne who recently lost her mom in a plane crash. She is struggling to cope with her sadness as well as her dad's sadness, and there is a really nasty neighbor girl that torments her. What I liked about this book was the main character herself, however, her neighbors-- the mother and daughter, were over-the-top awful, and I found myself growing upset with the father character for not intervening more in his daughter's plight. While this MIGHT have been a subplot of sorts, it really wasn't... in general, I was really dissapointed with the adult characters in this book. It has good moments, though, especially when Marianne brings home a new puppy. I would recommend this to my students to read independently but I will not read it aloud to them.

I read a book called ¡®The Fourth Grade Wizards¡¯. This book is about a girl named Marianne. Her mother died and her and her dad moves to a new house, and buys a half-wolf dog. And at the end Marianne and her friend Jack becomes a fourth grade wizards. You get to be an wizard when you do nice things and don¡¯t fight with others.
I liked the part where she gets Kipuck. Kipluck is Marianne¡¯s dog. After
she buys him, Marianne gets really happy. She always plays with Kipluck. I like that part because she gets a new friend and Marianne and her dad gets happy.
I liked the part when Marianne and dad met Lucy. She lives next door. Lucy and Marianne gets along. And Lucy always eat dinner and lunch with Marianne and dad. At the end Lucy marries with Marianne¡¯s dad. It¡¯s really happy to read a part when the character is happy.
I didn¡¯t like the part when Kipluck ran away from home. Why would he have done such thing? Well, I was really sorry for Marianne.
I liked the part when Jack and Marianne becomes a member of The Fourth Grade Wizards. I liked it because Marianne and Jack¡¯s dream came true. I loved that part.
This book was great! I loved it! I t was better than Otherwise known as Sheila the great. Now I want to read ¡®Nothing¡¯s Fair in Fifth Grade¡¯ by the same author. I am going to read this book again. I loved It!!!!!!
