Lessons Learned..

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2000
Review: When Palmer LaRue turns 9 years old, he is thrilled to realize that he has been "accepted" into the gang of neighborhood boys he's idolized for some time. Beans, Mutto, and Henry come to his party, bring him really gross gag gifts, and make sure he...

Wringer-one person can make a difference

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2000
Review: A young boy caught in a dangerous situation. He lives in the wrong town and has the wrong friends. ?Wringer? is a compelling story about a town who despises pigeons. But at the same time, in that town, lives a young boy who doesn?t have the hatred...

Peer Pressure to be a Wringer

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2000
Review: Newberry Medal winner Jerry Spinelli has written a powerful tale in the Newberry Honor Book "Wringer." It is the suspenseful tale of a nine-year-old boy who dreads the coming of his tenth birthday. The local rite of passage for ten-year old boys is...

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2004
Review: In Jerry Spinelli's 1997 Newberry Honor winning book, you meet Palmer LaRue, who is turning nine years old. His new friends christen him with a disgusting nickname and he finds himself accepted for the first time. In Palmer's hometown, there's a...

Wringer by Jerry Spinelli

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2000

Violence, Courage, Pigeons...

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2000
