Lucy Rose, Here's the Thing about Me

by

Katy Kelly

Grades 3-4

I think girls should read this book because it shows a girl living out a life that may be difficult for some people.  It also shows friendship.

Have you read Lucy Rose, Here's the Thing About Me?  Well, it's fabulous because in the middle of the story Lucy Rose gets to take home a guinea pig named

Jake and Jake gets away.  He jumps into the dumbwaiter and Lucy Rose gets a kid, Adam Melon, (he gets called Melonhead by Lucy Rose) to help. So Lucy Rose

tells Melonhead to go into the dumbwaiter and bring Jake out.  But when Melonhead get in he gets stuck!  He finds Jake eventually.  Now you know why you need to

read Lucy Rose, Here's the Thing About Me.

Have you ever heard about a book Lucy Rose, Here's the Thing About Me?  Well, it is a really great book.  Lucy Rose let Jake, the class pet,

out of his cage at her house and Jake got into the walls.  I though it was pretty funny when they tried to fed Jake to get him out.  Melonhead, a

kid, ate Jake's food.  And then he said it was really good!  Melonhead got stuck in the walls, too, and Lucy Rose had to call her Grandpa to

get them.  When Jake and Melonhead got saved Lucy Rose put Jake back in the cage where Jake belonged in the first place.

Lucy Rose: Here’s the thing about me, by Katy Kelly is a great book! This realistic fiction book is about the adventure of Lucy Rose. Lucy Rose is a fictional character who is trying to fit in at her new school. Her hamster who she is watching for school, gets stuck in the dumbwaiter and so does her friend. There are some illustrations in this book and they are all black and white. I would recommend this book to kids in grades 4-6. They would enjoy it.
