5.0 out of 5 stars The Taming of Corky Review, October 21, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Taming of Corky (Paperback)

The Taming of Corky by Dr. Jane Nixon White, is an excellent book. It is set in Florida and is about a woman teacher named Jan. She feels that she has no time for herself. She decides that she needs more time for herself so she resigns before the next school year. She and her husband Bert move into rural land where Jan can't wait to explore3. As soon as her husband goes to work, she explores the woods and sees something! A little boy! He runs away and the next day she put an extra lunch on a rock near where she saw the boy run from the day before. To find out what happens to the boy, Jan, Bert, and the lunch, read this awesome story! If you like to read about real life situations then this is the perfect book for you! It is sad but turns out to be happy at the end.In the beginning, it may seem boring but after you will see what a great book this is!I hope that everyone who reads this book review will read this book. Personally, I know Dr. Jane Nixon White and her capability to write well. I don't want to be pushy but please read this amazing, adventurous book!

Having recently finished The Taming of Corky, I was glad to suggest it to my students. Jane Nixon White has created a tender story of a young boy and the family who cares for him. It is a must read for anyone who wants to see the true meaning of the word family. Jane Nixon White captures it well. Good stuff, I say!

The Taming of Corky

This wonderful suspenseful book is great for the kids to read from a wonderful teacher. She has always had a love for her students and now since she is not teaching she is showing it in her writings. Keep up the great work.
