On My Honor: A Newbery Honor Award Winner

Easy read, great lessons to be learned. Highly recommend for middle schoolers.

Amazon was definitely fast on delivery and the price was right. My kid needed it for school.

Excellent book for 5th graders and up.

Kindle book purchased to re-read for class. Glad it was available since test and work needed the book to be finished. This book was for class but I think it helped my son understand fear a little better and how everyone has fears and needs to learn coping skills.

This was a book which taught a powerful lesson of what our honor means. Although my son is 14 years old, he and I enjoy being read to and it was my turn to read to him. He asked I read this every night until we finished it. It was a quick read and opened a meaningful discussion of not only the power of words but the consequences of keeping or not keeping our word. Since reading this book, every now and then when he promises me something, he'll look over at me with a sly smile and say "On My Honor" and I know it means something. This was a very good book, somewhat predictable but yet gripping.

A heart wrenching story of a childhood tragedy. A tragedy that impacts, forever, the lives of two families. Joel will never forgive himself over the loss of his friend. I watched a childhood friend get hit and killed by a car 70 years ago. That image is still vivid in my memory.This may be a children’s book but there is a deep message concerning unintentional consequences.I think it gave my grandson a deeper understandingly of what it means to give your word, On Your Honor!

I read this book back in elementary and always remembered it fondly. It's bittersweet. I love reading and so does my daughter, so I bought this book for her. She finished it in 2 days. Loved it

This book was a suggested reading for my 11 yr old Granddaughter who will be starting Middle School this fall. So I read it first and I thought it was excellent. It is about taking a stand for what is right, not giving in to pressure from your peers to do something you know is wrong. It was a little sad because of the choice one boy made. Jennifer read it and she like it and she doesn't like to read. If you have a child 9 and above, I recommend this book as one to read and discuss.

少年二人のある夏の物語を描いた子供向け作品ですが、大人が読んでも十分なすばらしい作品です。ページをめくると次々に頭の中にシーンが浮かんでくるような感覚を覚えました。テーマも考えされられるものです。英語は簡単で、ページ数も少ないので初めて洋書にチャレンジされる方にもお勧めです。
