Tom Bender is a kind person and doesn't care about how people looks. A new student in Tom's classroom was a girl named Jessica, and she got burned. Tom's classmate didn't like how Jessica looked, but Tom respect how Jessica looked with her burns. Tom's friend Jeff didn't want to hold hands with Jessica because of her burns, and Tom volunteer to hold her hand in class in the morning. When Tom hold her hand he realized that her hand was soft, and didn't feel rough. In Tom's classroom, Tom to started to got a long with Jessica, and talked more to her. Tom's life changed, and had a good friendship with Jessica. When Jessica had to leave, Tom's classmates realized something about Jessica.I thought that the book had wonderful details in the story. When I read this book I always thought about the authors message. I think that the authors message was that don't judge people the way they look or there voice sound like, and I think that the authors message was also about just to care about yourself and don't care about peoples problems. I liked how that Tony Abbott thought about this idea because I thought that it was really a good civil rights book. When I read the back of this book I had a connection to the book, and it reminded me that when I went to Pollock pool, I saw a person who had burns, and I didn't care about it. I saw a person who looked like he almost puke, and I thought that it was really rude, and it remind me just like the book. This book is really a good book to summarized and have good connections.
If you want to go on Tony Abbott Website you can go on that website and see what other books Tony Abbott made.
Great job with your blog post. You really understood the message. I think this book makes the reader hope they would treat Jessica better if she was in their classroom. I'm not sure people are much different that Jeff's class.
