The results are in for the Mallet School Book Review Contest. The top three prizes were as follows.
First Place Review of Clementine, by Sara Pennypacker.
Olivia Lockhart, Grade 3: I think that Sara Pennypacker is a good author that puts a lot of voice into her stories. I think she does a really good job of writing stories about an 8-year-old’s point of view because she has experienced being 8. I think she may have been or acted like Clementine or it was a true story about her and something that happened when she was a kid. She might have spent a lot of time in the principal’s office. I like the times Clementine went to the principal’s office for not paying attention and squirming around during class time.

Second Place Review of Fish Out of Water, by Helen Palmer.
Ellie Pelletier, Grade 3: (Our Second Place Review!) I think you should read this book because it is hilarious! I love the writing and illustrations. It has a great lesson! It shows you what might happen if you don’t listen to others, and that you should never feed a fish too much fish food. I liked all of the story, but the writing was the best.
