Please Write in This Book by Mary Amato

Please Write in This Book, by Mary Amato, reviewed by Jennie Tuttle, Children’s Department, Wickes Library
(Holiday House, 2006, $16.95 112 pages)
Recommended for ages 9-12.

Ms. Wurtz has only two rules, have fun and sign your name, for the book she hid in the Writer’s Corner. Students are encouraged to write to each other in its pages without fear of being graded. The pages quickly fill with humor, facts, and pictures. However, comments in the book turn mean and a battle ensues. Can the children work together to fix the damage or will Mrs. Wurtz have to take the book away?
