Library Card After Words Jerry Spinelli Books

There are four short stories that connect the magic and mystery of a library card. The first story is about two inner city boys, best friends, who are at a crossroads to what they will become, and reading saves one of them. The next story is an absolute joy to read. It's about an over dramatic teenage girl addicted to TV and must give it up for one week during the Great TV Turn-Off week. It's about how she copes and how the library card introduces her to herself and she finds out there is a whole world without TV. The third story is about two girls, each trying to find their way; one has just moved away from her beloved city and library and the other is running away and hijacks a book mobile - it is both funny, sad and just lovely. The last story is almost too painful to read. The writing is so good, you will be convinced that these people and events are real. I usually read this aloud to my class and we discuss choices we have to make and how reading can open doors we had no idea existed.

Library Card After Words Jerry Spinelli Books Reviews

Exactly what I purchased
One of my favorite read alouds for fourth graders.
I am an adult reader who likes books from tots to large print. I was disappointed in the book, although I had a library card at 6 and am now 71, I never felt into the stories of how the library card was important, were not. Oh, well.
Perfect
My son used it as a school work assignment.
my daughter had required reading for 7th grade, she didn't care for this book and didn't even finish it.. she had a hard time getting into the book
Great for the middle schooler in your house.
