This is a great book to read out loud to students. The writing is lyrical and poignant. This is an excellent book to use for discussion of literary elements as well as discussing character and personal choices. My students loved it.

This book was really good !!!It's one of the many books I've read that was at lot different than I expected, but still really ,really good. I also really like the way the author put this story together!!!!! I recomend this book to anyone of you young readers out there.You'd love it!!!

The book Junebug is about a kid named Junebug. He lives with his mom, sister, and aunt. Junebug lives in a really nasty and ugly neighborhood. He doesn't really like that because there are a lot of gangbangers and bad people around there.Junebug has an aunt named Jolita, and she likes to hang out with them. Unfortunately she brings a lot of problems to Junebug's family. In the story Junebug has just one true friend named Darnell. The sad thing is that Darnell runs away from all the revolutionary neighborhood.
I like this book because it is a adventure book. I also like how they explain the characters and how they explain all the things that happened in the story.I enjoyed reading this book and I think that the author did a great job. I recommend this book to all the people that like to read entertaining stories.

JuneBug Is a great book. It tells how a young boy named "junebug" Lives in the projects. He has collected up to 50 bottles that he could use to set in the sea so people can read his wish. His wish is to be a sailer. Alot of things happen along his way. His mother breakes her leg, The libary closes, Darnell Runs away, Theres a fight against MaMa and Jolita. Read this book to find out what heppens to june bug! ^.^

The story is about a little boy named Junebug and him his mom,sister and aunt are trying to move out of the project's because that is a nasty ugly neighborhood that has lots of bad things going on.So Junegebug colects these bottles and write these wishes that he wantes to be granted and one was to be a sailor and learn how to sail a boat and when Junebug gets his wish he was more than happy.This is a good book so read it give your rate and write what you think of the story Junebug.

I like this book becase it is a friendship.His friend's help him.You need to read it.

I'm studying to become a teacher, and I found this book to be good for all age groups due to the topics it discusses, psychology of individuals living in a poor neighbor, sociology of poor neighbors, and interactions between people. I would recommand this book for those studying any social science course in college, as well as individuals in middle school for their English classes. The main character makes us down there that there is a rainbow at the other end of the day in all of our lives.

I like Junebug. It is an exciting book. Mother fell down the steps and Junebug called the doctor and the ambulance came and took her to the hospital. She stayed there and Junebug came to the hospital to visit his mom . I also like the happy ending. Read this book and you will like it.

Junebug is a good for anyone that likes stories about kids living in the city. Junebug, his mom, his Aunt Jolita, and his sister live in an apartment in a rough part of the city. Junebug enjoys collecting bottles and his dream is to get bottle messages from people in other places. You should read it.

Loved the story about a boy living in hostile neighborhood. Pre-teens and teens from inner city identify with characters and situations in story. Junebug holds onto his dream to escape his environment. Nice ending.
