If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period Audiobook

" A white, overweight girl befriends a new African American boy at school. "

" This book is on the Alaska Battle of the Books list for 7th and 8th grade. All three Middle School Library copies were checked out immediately, and continue to be popular. I think that it is a good choice for a Battle Book. "

" Loved getting to know the characters. "

" I guessed the secret about Walk and Kirsten long before it was revealed, but the story of their relationship is believable. I would recommend this to 5th or 6th graders. "

" It's not a bad story, it deals with typical teenage angst, being popular (or not), and race. Granted it's from a teenager's point of view, but the issues seem glossed over and not dealt with on depth. Problems usually don't resolve themselves this simply. "

" Great story about changing relationships with family and friends, as well as school dynamics. "

" This was a fabulous book that I wanted to have for months before I got a chance to read it. Gennifer Chaldenko is an amazing author who has the special ability and is capable of creating situations that are so well-described that the person who's in that situation could be telling you about it his or herself. The story of two extremely different kids, yet how they are mysteriously brought together... "

" I love this book so much I will die. "

" This book was about a teenage girl in 7th grade going through the processes of middle school. This is a good book if you like realistic fiction. "

" I struggled with the inconsistent point of view. One chapter is in first person, the next is in third person, even though it is clearly labled changing characters. It wasn't major, but it was enough to keep me unfocused on the plot. "

" great audio adaptation really made story come alive for me. two narrators alternate chapters/points of view (kirsten & walker, 7th grade students at posh private school), describing events over course of school year. "

" I think this is a more "I need to make a statement" kind of book than an entertaining one. But the statement made is a good one about identity, stereotypes, and prejudices. "

" I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book! I liked it much more than Al Capone Does My Shirts. "

" It's in 2 perspectives. One, from a girl's, whose parents are fighting with each other and she thinks shes fat. Another from a guy who she just met who hangs out with the girl. "

" I'm not sure if this could have more stereotypes or be more improbable. "

" I really liked the book, i would recommend it for teens. "

" This book has a great yet serious plot. Two different people of two different races uniting to solve a family feud. C.D. "

" I enjoyed If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period. I was pleansantly surprised with the outcome of the story. I thought the author was going in a certain direction with the story and she totally surprised me with something else. "

" Really great plot twist, the root of one family's problems is directly connected to another through an unexpected secret. "

" A bit contrived, but a solid middle school title. Told in alternating points of view, dealing with MEAN girls, self-image, race, class and integrity. "

" It wasn't the best book. I don't know. Maryam, I would think that maybe you would like it, but Aizah, I'm sorry I don't really know your type. "

" I liked it alot because the charpters are short and it is easy!!!!!! You can readit in about 5 days. "

" 2 voices, great interesting story. "

" This was a quick read. Not very complex. I would have liked it to be a little more, but perhaps for the age range it was written for it was enough. It touched on 3 topics…race, weight and divorce. "

" A bit contrived, but a solid middle school title. Told in alternating points of view, dealing with MEAN girls, self-image, race, class and integrity. "

" Did not like it very much ... no likeable characters, a weird storyline, not as compelling as some of her other books. "

" It's pretty sad there's a lot of family problems involved. "

" I'm not sure if this could have more stereotypes or be more improbable. "

" pretty good. Its like that only book I know that has my best friends name in it! "

" It was pretty good, but it kinda bothered me when it would switch from 1st person to 3rd person. "

" The book is amazing!! I just found out the big secret between Kirsten and Walk, and it's getting good! Poor Kirsten Rory is SUCH a butt.:( "

" It's in 2 perspectives. One, from a girl's, whose parents are fighting with each other and she thinks shes fat. Another from a guy who she just met who hangs out with the girl. "

" Young Adult book- I love her first novel, Al Capone Does My Shirts and this one was a great YA book too! "

" I randomly remembered I read this in like 5th grade when I was studying my lines on my bed. It's pretty easy to read, even though the entire point of the book was a bit you know for a 10 year old. It's good to kill time. "
