This book is great! It is about a girl named Marianne whoes mother died. Marianne can't pay attention in school! At her school they have wizards and Marianne can't become one if she doesn't start to pay attention. Marianne gets a puppy and starts to listen and do her work. Now if she keeps working this hard she can become a master wizard! To find out if she does you have to read this book! It is great and I would reccomend it to anyone!

Have you ever thought about getting a puppy? Well this book is about a girl who gets a puppy because she misses her mother too much after her mother died. At school she is not paying attention to the teacher, that means she might not become a fouth grade wizard. One day her puppy ran away! Will she become a fouth grade wizard? will she find her puppy? Read this to find out what a fouth grade wizard is.

I am a 4th grade teacher and I wanted a quick read-aloud book for my students. I really enjoyed Barthe DeClements when I was a kid, so I thought I'd give this one a try. The story is about a girl named Marianne who recently lost her mom in a plane crash. She is struggling to cope with her sadness as well as her dad's sadness, and there is a really nasty neighbor girl that torments her. What I liked about this book was the main character herself, however, her neighbors-- the mother and daughter, were over-the-top awful, and I found myself growing upset with the father character for not intervening more in his daughter's plight. While this MIGHT have been a subplot of sorts, it really wasn't... in general, I was really dissapointed with the adult characters in this book. It has good moments, though, especially when Marianne brings home a new puppy. I would recommend this to my students to read independently but I will not read it aloud to them.

I read a book called ¡®The Fourth Grade Wizards¡¯. This book is about a girl named Marianne. Her mother died and her and her dad moves to a new house, and buys a half-wolf dog. And at the end Marianne and her friend Jack becomes a fourth grade wizards. You get to be an wizard when you do nice things and don¡¯t fight with others.
I liked the part where she gets Kipuck. Kipluck is Marianne¡¯s dog. After
she buys him, Marianne gets really happy. She always plays with Kipluck. I like that part because she gets a new friend and Marianne and her dad gets happy.
I liked the part when Marianne and dad met Lucy. She lives next door. Lucy and Marianne gets along. And Lucy always eat dinner and lunch with Marianne and dad. At the end Lucy marries with Marianne¡¯s dad. It¡¯s really happy to read a part when the character is happy.
I didn¡¯t like the part when Kipluck ran away from home. Why would he have done such thing? Well, I was really sorry for Marianne.
I liked the part when Jack and Marianne becomes a member of The Fourth Grade Wizards. I liked it because Marianne and Jack¡¯s dream came true. I loved that part.
This book was great! I loved it! I t was better than Otherwise known as Sheila the great. Now I want to read ¡®Nothing¡¯s Fair in Fifth Grade¡¯ by the same author. I am going to read this book again. I loved It!!!!!!

I loved it! I loved it! I loved it!

A wonderful story of Marianne, whose mother has died in a plane crash, trying to survive the fourth grade. Due to her tragic loss, she has a hard time paying attention in class.

I found myself heartbroken for Marianne, who wants nothing more than for her mom to have survived the crash, which she catches herself daydreaming about in class.

This book is actually part of a series geared towards young adults with if I remember correctly, five books. Granted, it's been a long time since I read the series, but I remember enjoying it, and it is a great series for kids.

Granted, the books are now dated (this was before the Internet and cellphones!) but it's nostalgic and in a way refreshing. You don't have to start off with this book, but I recommend it as it is a prequel to the rest of the series. The main character has a deceased mother, so she and her father have to deal with that while she has to deal with school. In my personal opinion, this isn't as interesting or funny as 'Nothing's Fair in the Fifth Grade' or 'Sixth Grade Can Really Kill You', but it's still a worthwhile read.

I love this book! In third grade, I had a reading group and chose this book to read.
In these brillliant pages, you'll find a wolf hybrid, Sharon Hinkler, glow ropes, and Ms. Jewel. I'd recommend this book to anybody, even if they're not interested in wolf hybrids because I don't think too much of them myself, but I love this book anyway.
