Queeny Peavy encourages realistic approachs to family stress,
By A Customer
This review is from: Queenie Peavy (Paperback)
Robert Burch has succeeded in providing a lively, vital, energetic juvenile character with the intelligence and guts to stand up to her stressful life which includes a not so respectible father. Through her lively, but sometimes disruptive activities at school and in her community, Queeny gains a reputation as a fighter and a loner. Youthful readers can vicariously identify with her rebellious nature and learn from Queeny's mistakes. In today's world, many children live with this same type of stress (parent in jail) and more. As a former sixth grade teacher and current school counselor, I have used Queeny Peavy for many years. Queeny is a great role model for teachers and counselors to use to set the tone for goalsetting and growth in their student. Robert Burch does a masterful job as he takes Queeny from a scrapping "rascal" to a focused youth in her search for her own self-worth.

This review is from: Queenie Peavy (Paperback)
Robert Burch has written a great book about an 8th grade tomboy, Queenie Peavy. She has to deal with the Great Depression, and her father in jail. At school, Queenie is picked on alot by her classmates. She gets so mad at one of them, she breaks his leg! She is also known for bulls eye aim. Her hobby is throwing rocks at everything! Teachers or kids, if you're looking for a good book, Queenie Peavy is it!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Queenie Peavy (Paperback)
My name is Demetri C. This book was about a tomboy named Queenie Peavy. She got fed up with all the other kids picking on her, so she bullied them. I am going to read this book over again. You have to read this book. It is so GREAT!
