Laura Sibbie and her friends start a club called Pig City, after the hat Laura bought at a garage sale. This is kept secret, and each girl has to have a type of insurance, whether it is calling up a boy, admitting love to a teacher, or if admitting her parents take pictures of her in the bathtub. If they tell anyone about Pig City, the insurance will be shown or told all over school. Later, Laura decides to allow Gabriel, a boy in her class, to join Pig City. His insurance, kissing her, does not work out right. Instead, he starts his own club, Monkey Town. Laura fights mad- and writes on the board every "pig" word she can find. But sooner or later, she has to copy 16 dictionary pages (a type of punishment). But things go bad when Gabriel steals the girls' insurances, and shows them around school. Gabriel also gets back by cutting Laura's waist-length long hair, that she's never had cut since she was three. Sixth grade is soon over, but not the Monkey Town-Pig City war! Read this book if you want to read something funny.

I think this is a great book. Laura starts a secret club and invites people to join (in secret). A classmate, Gabriel, overhears something about the club (Pig City) and wants to join. Laura invites him over and he's very easygoing, or so it seems. But when his "insurance" goes all wrong, he gets revenge by starting his own club (Monkey Town) and gettting revenge in lots of ways! Read the books!

Sixth Grade secrets is about a club that was started by a girl named Laura that was originated ever since she bought a cap from a garage sale that said Pig City on it. Pig City was a secret club and in order to join Pig City you needed to give insurance. Insurance like a big secret from someone. Everything was going as planned until a boy named Gabriel starts a new club to get revenge on Pig City ever since he was rejected. He names the club Monkey town and gives Pig City a spin.

This book is very humorous and makes the reader keep reading word after word until their eyes pop out. The author knows the life of a child and is able to write a great book to get young readers attracted. I like this book because it has a type of humor that is very rare to read.

These are some of my favorite quotes in the book: "Eat a raw egg." And "Kiss me or I will tell everyone about Pig City." I like these quotes because these quotes gave me an urge to keep reading.

My favorite part in the book is when a person gives insurance that was made up by Laura. Insurances like a big secret, a love letter and more. This is my favorite part because each insurance is different and give another style of humor.

This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I am a freshman in college. I know of no better example of the tragic pattern. The only thing missing is the unhappy ending. Absolutely cathartic ending. And, as always with Louis Sachar, tons of hilarious goings-on. Really a 12, in my book.

A wonderful book. The best book of his that I've read so far. You never know what will happen next. Very funny and a realsitic fiction book. A great summer book.

I have this book and I've read it more that 5 times! It never gets boring. The more I read it, the more i like it! Louis Sachar is a very talented writer! I have read most of his books and I think they are all great!

I love Sixth Grade Secrets!Its my favorite book!One day i was looking around the classroom for a book to read and i thought it looked good.Now I want to own it!I'll buy it today!But i do warn you the ending stops in the middle so its like one of those books when it ends you want to read more!Maybe there will be a sequal.I sure hope so!Best book ever!
5 stars!

I think that Sixth Grade Secrets is a very interesting book.Once you start reading, you never want to stop!It has a lot of action scenes and every sentence has you longing for more.I think I can relate to just about every character in the book. Everything they say can be related to every day life.I really think that you will enjoy this book a lot!

Laura starts a club called Pig City. The club is named after the hat she bought at a garage sale. Every time Laura allows a new member in, she tells the member to give, say, or do something embarrassing for insurance to keep everything about the club a secret. When somebody told Gabriel about Pig City he wanted to join. Laura denied his entry. Since he couldn't join Laura's club, he decided to start his own club, Monkey Town. When people found out about Monkey Town a lot of members of Pig City moved to Monkey town. Will the 2 rivals ever meet?

I enjoyed this book because it was so funny. So much of the story was truly about everyday life, that it was very easy to relate to. When I read this book it made me feel like I was a part of the story. I imagined myself like one of the the main characters. I would recommend this book to both boys and girls around the fourth and fifth grades. It is a great book to read!

My name is Mike and I am a fifth-grade student. I just recently read the book "Sixth Grade Secrets" and loved it so much that I couldn't put it down. This book expresses many feelings that a sixth-grader really may have. I say it is "pigish" because the name of a kids' club is called "Pig City." The main character is a girl named Laura and the many problems that go on in Mr. Doyle's (Laura's math teacher's) class is what makes the book exciting. I think that this is one of Louis Sachar's best books and I strongly recomend it very much to kids of almost all ages.
