Title:Dexter the tough Author:Margaret Peterson Haddix
I think this book is realistic fiction. This book is about a new kid named dexter and he is sort of a bully. Dexter says he beaats up Robin (Dexters friend). Even though he only punched him once in the jaw. I think I would give this book a 4.27.
Dexter the Tough By: Margaret Peterson Haddix Realistic Fiction
I’m not a big of this book, because it was very predictable. I guess I will have to give it a 1 out of 5. Dexter may seem like an ordinary kid, but he is not. His dad has cancer and is in a hospital in Seattle, Washington. Dexter moved into his grandmother’s house and is going to a completely different school with kids who laugh at him when he slips onto the floor, and a secretariat that leaves him stranded in the middle of the school. He also has to deal with guilt because he punched a kid in the school’s bathroom. Find out the rest by buying this book. (I don’t recommend it.)
Chris said... Book:Dexter the tough genre:realistic fiction
this book is about a boy who's dad has cancer, and Dexter is sad, mad so he hits a kid at school, and later in the book starts to feel bad about hitting him.During the story Dexter is writing a story, about the fight and kind of confessing about it.everyone is writing a story so Dexter hands in the story about the fight as his story.(witch I think was sorta a bad idea).I would give this book a 6-10 rating.

My Book: Dexter the Tough Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix
In this book a boy named Dexter lives with his grandma. Dexter is in elementary school. One day while Dexter was at school he went to the bathroom and another kid named Robin was washing his hands and Dexter just randomly punched Robin in the stomach. Dexter's teacher asked the class to write a story about themselves, the whole class began to write except Dexter. Dexter wrote "This morning I beat up a kid and his name was Robin". Then he wrote "I am tuff". When Dexter had to turn his story in his teacher read it and then he got in trouble and this fight went on and on for about two weeks. The reason Dexter hit Robin was because he was nervous and it was his first day at a new school.
I think this book could have had a little more detail than it had. If I had to give this book a rating from 1-10. I would give it a 6 because it was not all that funny to me. If I was the author I would have written this book with some funny parts.

Title: Dexter the Tough Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix
I read the book Dexter the Tough because it was assigned and we read it during class. Dexter moved into his grandma's house since his Dad was sick and in the hospital. At his new school he punched a kid. Yet, Dexter was not really tough he just wanted to be liked. I would compare this book to the Talented Clementine. Clementine was faced with a problem and finds her way through it and so does Dexter. I rate this book 4 stars out of 5 because it often leaves you hanging and does complete the scene. I would finish each scene by giving more details in the book if I had wrote Dexter The Tough.

Dexter the Tough by Margaret Peterson Haddix
ReplyDeleteThis story is about Dexter and his first day at a new school. He doesnt like the school so far. He took his anger out on a little boy named, Robin Bryce. Mrs Abbott is his teacher who gave the class the assignment to write about either how their first day was or how their summer was. Dexter chooses to write about how his first day way and said that he beat up a kid. Mrs. abbott was worried about Dexter. Dexter felt guilty for beating Robin up because people already made fun of his name. Later, Dexter and Robin became friends. My favorite part of the book was when Dexter's dad got cancer and they found a donor is Kansas. It was also a big part of the book. I would give this story a 4 because it was interesting and it kept my attention. It teaches about bullying.

This book is a very strange book. This book is about a boy named Dexter and he is going to a new school and he is not liking it at all. First, he thought that the principal was mean,was mad at the janitor for waxing the floor to much, and was mad at the secertary for leaving him in the middle of the hallway and not knowing where to go. Dexter went to the bathroom and there was a kid named Robin crying, so to get out his anger, Dexter hit him on the jaw and Robin started bleeding. Near the end Dexter apologized for hitting Robin and then the played basket ball!!

This book is about a boy named Dexter,who is having a tough first day of school. First the principal ran off before he got to the classroom,then the janitor made the floor too shiney so Dexter fell and everyone laughed at him,then Dexter ran to the bathroom and punched a boy named Robin. Dexter has to write a story in class so he decides to write about the fight. He tells his teacher that the fight diddn't really happen. He doesn't tell his grandma that he hit him either because he is not supposed to make any troubie for her.Will Dexter confess or will he keep it inside forever? I would not change anything about this book.I don't think that this book compares to anything I have ever read before. I give this book a

I think this book is realistic fiction. This book is about a new kid named dexter and he is sort of a bully. Dexter says he beaats up Robin (Dexters friend). Even though he only punched him once in the jaw. I think I would give this book a 4.27.

Realistic Fiction
I’m not a big of this book, because it was very predictable. I guess I will have to give it a 1 out of 5. Dexter may seem like an ordinary kid, but he is not. His dad has cancer and is in a hospital in Seattle, Washington. Dexter moved into his grandmother’s house and is going to a completely different school with kids who laugh at him when he slips onto the floor, and a secretariat that leaves him stranded in the middle of the school. He also has to deal with guilt because he punched a kid in the school’s bathroom. Find out the rest by buying this book. (I don’t recommend it.)

this book is about a boy who's dad has cancer, and Dexter is sad, mad so he hits a kid at school, and later in the book starts to feel bad about hitting him.During the story Dexter is writing a story, about the fight and kind of confessing about it.everyone is writing a story so Dexter hands in the story about the fight as his story.(witch I think was sorta a bad idea).I would give this book a 6-10 rating.

In this book a boy named Dexter lives with his grandma. Dexter is in elementary school. One day while Dexter was at school he went to the bathroom and another kid named Robin was washing his hands and Dexter just randomly punched Robin in the stomach. Dexter's teacher asked the class to write a story about themselves, the whole class began to write except Dexter. Dexter wrote "This morning I beat up a kid and his name was Robin". Then he wrote "I am tuff". When Dexter had to turn his story in his teacher read it and then he got in trouble and this fight went on and on for about two weeks. The reason Dexter hit Robin was because he was nervous and it was his first day at a new school.
I think this book could have had a little more detail than it had. If I had to give this book a rating from 1-10. I would give it a 6 because it was not all that funny to me. If I was the author I would have written this book with some funny parts.

I read the book Dexter the Tough because it was assigned and we read it during class. Dexter moved into his grandma's house since his Dad was sick and in the hospital. At his new school he punched a kid. Yet, Dexter was not really tough he just wanted to be liked. I would compare this book to the Talented Clementine. Clementine was faced with a problem and finds her way through it and so does Dexter. I rate this book 4 stars out of 5 because it often leaves you hanging and does complete the scene. I would finish each scene by giving more details in the book if I had wrote Dexter The Tough.

This book is about a kid named Dexter that moves from Cincinnati to his Grandma's house. Dexter does not like his school a lot and he hates the Principal,janitor, and his classmates. So on his first day in his new school, Dexter goes to the bathroom and punches a kid in the jaw and makes him cry. The other people outside the bathroom door started laughing and started to call him a cry baby which made him cry even more. Dexter had found out that the kid he had punched is named Robin Bryce. So read this book to find out whether not Robin gets revenge on Dexter? Does Robin and Dexter become best friends? Read this book to find the answer.
From my opinion I would give this book a 2 out of 5 because it just was not one of my favorite books and I think it could have been better.
