I read The Green Book when I was in the 5th grade, and I loved it! It has been 7 years since then, and the book has inpsired me, particularly one of the parts of it. I've been a writer since I could talk, and I've always loved writing. I love reading as well, but it's not nearly as broad as writing. In the scene where Sarah and Joe find out that Patti only brought a blank book and picked on her for it, I could relate to Patti. I would rather be able to broaden my mind by making up my own stories, and then being able to look back on it and remember stuff.
It reminds me of in The Diary of Anne Frank, where her father says to her after he gives her the diary, "There are no locks, no bolts that anyone can put on your mind." These two books together inspired me, because if there was ever a time when I had to leave my home, I would want to have something to write in, to be able to express my emotions.
Overall, I think this book was amazing, and I defiantely recommend it to anyone between the ages of 8 and 11 to read it. It's truly inspirational.

This is my definate favorite book ever! The plot is great. I love reading thing about the future because It all seem so cool, except for the part where the earth dies. But the space ship that lasted 4 years! Awsome! Well, my point is, it is a great book with many different exciting and good writing. I think it is a real page turner. And I love it. And I am almost over the age of reading this book, but I still read it anyways.

This has got to be one of my favorite children's books, and I've read thousands. Highly original. Beautifully woven story. The ending is exquisite, one of the best you will ever read. I suggest you read this aloud as a family.

I read this book as a child, 15 to 20 years ago. I don't remember exactly how old I was. I remembered it vividly all those years, though. The imagery stuck with me, and the emotions of the story. It was one of the books that got me started at an early age on science fiction. The main character faces trials and strangeness, and ends up giving hope to her entire community, born from her fearlessness and determination. This is one of those stories that haunted me, and eventually I'll have to get a copy of my own, since I only had it for a week from the public library.
