FUN WITH F.I.A.T. FISH IN A TREE

Opinions on F.I.A.T. Most kids in our class think that Ally is the best character in Fish in a Tree Not very many kids like Shay and Jessica because they bully Ally. Our favorite part was when Mr. Daniels arrived to understand Ally. He seemed extremely polite The saddest part was when Jessica and Shay bullied poor Ally at the ice cream shop.

F.I.A.T Opinions Tommy: “My favorite character is Ally. My least favorite character is Jessica because she is mean.” Mrs.Bittner: “I think it is a great book because it may reach many students and maybe let them know they are not alone. Noah: “The book is interesting. I think Ally has problems.For instance, she can’t read.’’ Kathleen: “My favorite character is Ally because I think at the end of the story she will understand people because of her teacher.” “My least favorite characters are Jessica and Shay because they are mean to Ally.’’
