6/6/2023 0 Comments I Owe You One by Natalie Hyde![]() ![]() Highly Recommended., Can be enjoyed by young readers as well as reluctant older readers. The plot moves along quickly, and the writing is appropriate to this age group, making it a great choice for children, especially boys, in this age group. ![]() A great addition for upper elementary., An entertaining book.The strong moral message in the book will delight the readers' parents, but Hyde manages to make her point without being preachy, and Wes is a fairly normal 11-year old boy to whom who children will relate. With its slim length, fast pace, and humor, this title will appeal to a wide range of readers., Lessons about persistence, consequences, and following in your father's footsteps are intertwined throughout this story. Quirky but believable characters populate the small Canadian town, giving a yesteryear feel to a modern story. There is sufficient suspense and juvenile pranks to grip young readers' imaginations.A text that is as rewarding to give to a child as it will be for the child to read., The plot moves quickly from one humorous situation to another. Natalie Hyde has created characters with humourous traits, realistic flaws, and yet a sense of integrity and community that restore one's faith in people. A fun-filled 'house-that-jack-built' story of connections, both logistical and emotional.It is seldom that a text written simply, for younger readers, makes me both giggle and tear up. ![]()
