I like the funny name Gary Boon. My favourite character is Angelini. I would recommend it to Marcie.
Someday Angeline is a heartwarming story about a small genius with big problems. Everyone always tells her that someday, things will get better, and when she makes friends with a boy who tells the best jokes, and a teacher who loves tropical fish, she realises that they might just be right...
It is memorable. I can remember everything and sometimes you're happy with Angeline and sometimes you're sad when she is. I can totally resonate with her because I'm quite sure that every child has the word 'someday' or 'when you're older' said to them.
I Liked this books very much, it was slow paced, and very touching. Angeline is a clever, and mysterious girl, the part where Angeline meets the fisherman, not many people would talk to those people these days, but angeline did!
I like this story. My favourite person is Gary who is also in another book by the same authour called dogs don't tell jokes. I would recommend it to people like me who are funny and clever.
Upon reading the first sentence, I realised I have read this book before!
A fictional book. Angeline is a genius child and almost everyone around her doesn't know how to respond to her, even her father. One day she meets the most funniest boy in the world and everything changes.
Both Angeline and her father go through some great character development and I really empathize with them and how the deal with their daily struggles.
I enjoy the writing style of the author. The book is written in a positive tone, while tackling with subjects like bullying and depression.
Very good and has a big reason of the story I loved reading it and it drew me in all the time!
I liked this book because it was about fishes, on the other hand it was really sad because Angeline nearly drowned in the sea.
I would only recommend this book if you liked to read really sad stories.
I reccomend this book because it is interesting and descriptive. It tells you about this girl called Angeline who is a genius. She does not have many friends apart from a boy who tells jokes and a teacher who loves tropical fish. I really like this book.
I really like this book because it teaches you that you should listen to your parents and if someone bullies you, just ignore them and tell someone because if you won't something terrible will happen. In the book a girl called Angeline was stressed in school, left and rode on a bus. She arrived in a beach and after a talk with a fisherman Angeline was leaving the beach and suddenly drowned. You should read this book. It's really dramatic and it's a comedy book aswell!
Love It! :)
A great book but I did lose interest a bit!
I really enjoyed this.
this is a book for readers who like books about life and emotion it is a wonderful read for all ages!
You will always want to read more. This book is about a girl who is too clever for her age and is one class higher than she should be. She hates her teacher and hasn't got any friends. her mother has died and her dad works as a dustbin man. She meets a boy who calls himself goon and laughs as his hilarious jokes. She is asked by him to help his teacher set up a fish tank. She loved watching the fish and just wished she could be in Mr Bone's class. There was one thing she couldn't understand. Mr Bone was a woman... read this book to find out why this is!
I think that you should read this book especially if you feel left out sometimes because that's how Angeline feels, until she meets a funny boy in her school. Angeline is very smart and she knew a lot of things before she was born. I am not going to write anymore or else it might spoil it for you but I think that it is fantastic.
I did only read the end because I missed out in lessons. It was quite touching really so I think all you guys out their should read it. It's not should read it, it's have to read it!
Its a good book, but not brilliant, about a girl who knew things before she was born, therefore is super smart. However this make things harder for Angeline in many ways...
Amazing and it's about me! my name is Angeline!
People should read this book because there's something exciting in every chapter.
