Sam and Alex are like friends to me; I read this book twice and I'd read it again. A great job done by my favourite author. - Elaine Sat, 19 May 2012 05:38:11 +0100 http://www.jeanlittle.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:somebody-elses-summer&catid=35:novels&Itemid=54#comment-351 I think this is a great book!! ;D - karrah Tue, 15 May 2012 13:44:31 +0100 http://www.jeanlittle.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:somebody-elses-summer&catid=35:novels&Itemid=54#comment-343 Flunking students is not an effective way to motivate them to study. “Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence”best replica watches ——Robert Frost Nowadays, students are not as diligent and docile as their former generation, which makes the teachers feel headache. How to let their students focus on their study? Some teachers take this kind of measures to deal with their uneducable students—— flunking students. Personally, I can’t agree with this method. It’s horrible both to students and teachers. From the students’ side, this method can only reduce students’ motivation and confidence for studying well rather than increase their mood of learning. After all, a flunking grade is not a laudable result for everybody. If someone gets flunked, he or she will feel that maybe he or she can’t do anything well. Recently, some college students killed themselves because they failed in critical exams. So flunking students can’t save them but hurt them. From the teachers’ side, this approach may ruin their images in their students. Most students dislike teachers who always give a lot of flunking grades. It makes them think that this kind of teacher is stubborn, carping and difficult to get along with. If the students have had this thought, how could they be motivated by their flunking grades? In a word, flunking students is not a good method for education. Students need to be encouraged and motivated but not in this way. - miky@yahoo.com Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:47:03 +0100 http://www.jeanlittle.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:somebody-elses-summer&catid=35:novels&Itemid=54#comment-295 :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)[b]This book is very nice because it's about 2 girls met on flight and make unlikely friendship :( I read this book but there was some confusing parts and mysterios parts because Samantha went to people she did't met them before while her father in South America . ALexis went to horse farm to learn hoe to ride while her mother and her stepfather are travelling in Australia.

I read in grade seven and had presented it to the class. I'm not a huge book reader but when I started to read this book I could not put it down. I totally recommend this book for teens like me. And right now I'm reading "Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mocking Bird" by Jean Little. And so far its great. It's definitely [b]not[/b] like those books where the first couple of chapters are boring. :) - Omega Mon, 16 Aug 2010 09:16:23 +0100 http://www.jeanlittle.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:somebody-elses-summer&catid=35:novels&Itemid=54#comment-174 This story is amazing i recommend this book to read in the summer and for ages 11-14 ;D - Shaye Sun, 24 Jan 2010 11:59:52 +0100 http://www.jeanlittle.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:somebody-elses-summer&catid=35:novels&Itemid=54#comment-166 I read this book over the summer and I really enjoyed reading it! I hope to read many more of your books. - Robin May Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:05:51 +0100 http://www.jeanlittle.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:somebody-elses-summer&catid=35:novels&Itemid=54#comment-9 This book was excllent. It was well written, and had interesting key points to make you keep reading. There were funny parts, sad parts, and the topic of the book was very different, but that was good. Samantha's character was appearingly rough,like a tomboy, yet she was soft on the inside. Alex seemed shy, but when Sam got to know her, she was very sensible, and smart. - Camille Sat, 09 Aug 2008 11:13:17 +0100
