By Robert Hoge
In my 4th grade classroom we are starting the school year with Wonder as our first read aloud. I wanted to read it to my students before the movie comes out in November. This book is one of my all time favorites so I was very intrigued to start Ugly by Robert Hoge. I am hoping that it will be appropriate for my classroom, as I am sure a number of my students will be interested to read Robert's memoir.

I'm not too far into this one yet, but I already love the fantasy nature of this story!
The Wonderling is an amazing fantasy! Enjoyed that one!
ReplyDeleteYes, really enjoying it so far Lisa! Cant wait to get further into it!
DeleteI've bookmarked all three! Each sounds wonderful! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSure thing Linda!
DeleteI listened to an interview on CBC radio with Robert Hoge. His explanation of why he was left at the hospital is very different from the book blurb. Still, I'm hoping to read this book.
ReplyDeleteOh, interesting. I was very intrigued by the book and would love to learn more about Robert!
DeleteI have Wonderling to read but I haven't heard much of it yet, I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI've heard some rumblings about the Robert Hoge book too... might be a book to read and then do some nonfiction searching...
Definitely Michele! I also think it will be a good nonfiction follow up to Wonder.
DeleteI received Wonderling as a review copy, and looking forward to reading it soonest. I am excited to see a new William Joyce picturebook! I am a huge fan!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying it so far Myra!
DeleteThe William Joyce book has quite a few pictures, but is actually a chapter book, quite a thick chapter book actually :)
