Mallory tries to distract her parents from Max getting a dog.But then Max reminded their parents to get a dog so they went to Joey to ask if he wanted to come.

I think people should read 'Back to School, Mallory!' because I think it's funny, but why? Well, I think it's funny because the author puts in  unique quotes. For example, an" i'm-serious- look." You get what I mean? I also think their interesting because Mallory gets into really ridiculous problems that aren't a big deal. I think that's appealing because it makes me think that our lives are better than hers. That makes her a funny, realistic character.

# data[].attributes.body
The way I would recommend the book would be to leave anonymous notes on post-its in the book about parts that I liked. Mallory is special because she is persistent and ambitious. Some of the author's craft was italic words and pictures of letters she writes to Mary Ann. We can see Mallory's thoughts. Some of the lessons that I learn are don't get into other peoples business and put others before yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Honestly Mallory! is an amazing book and all of you should read it! But there is such a tiny lie in this book and then it grows and grows and grows and grows! I would take the lie out and put in a truth.

# data[].attributes.body
The story was ended with Mallory"s
letter. The author ended it like that because she wanted it to be like a little message to the reader. The lesson was that if your not close to your friend doesn't mean that you can't be friends.

# data[].attributes.body
The story ended with a story. The author wrote the ending this way because she wanted it to be interesting. And the lesson was that you shouldn't write about the things that are bad. And that it's important to look at the good things.

# data[].attributes.body
I found a lot of of exclamation marks and question marks. I also found italic writing.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished this book and the lesson was that it's better to try things than to not try them. Even if you don't like it or you have too much other stuff going on.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory just lied to all of her classmates, her teacher, her best friends, and her parents! She lied about wining the Kids Can Design fashion contest with Fashion Fran and she didn't even enter!

# data[].attributes.body
I found a very good quote that Mallory said in this book. It was:
"Hey, hey, hey!" And I found this one too: "But here's what I will reveal:
Being asked what I was going to be on Career Day when I hadn't thought of anything to be did not make me feel good." "AT ALL!"
She's grumpy..

# data[].attributes.body
Max is getting a new dog even no they all ready have CHEESEBURGER! (The cat) Mallory writes ten reasons why Max should not get a dog.

# data[].attributes.body
The author uses a lot of signals. For example, the author wrote Mallory thinks about Colleen telling Mom not to worry. Mallory feels like she is the one Colleen should have said that to.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory and Maryann wake up really early and make cookies to apologize to Max, it works and then the book ends.

# data[].attributes.body
What was the same was that Mallory had a few fights with Max during the book.
And I predict that they are going to have a lot of fights in the next few books. She also thinks about what she did all the time. I predict that too. So she's the kind of person that cares about herself.
Those are my predictions on what's going to happen in the next books.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the author's crafts in this series is that Mallory makes lists in every book to explain why she's right about something or why she needs something.

# data[].attributes.body
First Mallory always wants or does not want something and she tries to solve her problem but it doesn't work. She goes to a family member and they give her advice on how to solve her problem. Then she either gets what she wants or learns a lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory is excited for Career Day. All of her classmates know what they want to be and she is starting to get upset because she doesn't know what she wants to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Some precise words the author uses are furious, snoop, disappointed, tight,

# data[].attributes.body
Precise words that I noticed are when the author describes the looks characters give each other. In this book it says "they give each other a this-is-a-test look" and helps me picture it in my mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The precise words that I found were role, none-of-this-would-have-happened-if-you-listened-to-me look (instead of "I'm about to get in trouble...") and laughter fills the room (instead of everybody laughed.) Those are the precise words that I found.

# data[].attributes.body
The precise words that I found were "mumbled" rather than "said" when Mallory was talking to her parents about the birthday presents. Later, she said "gulp" when she drank the orange juice instead of saying "drink". Also, Max said "super cool" and "awesome" when describing his birthday presents instead of saying "good".

# data[].attributes.body
The author used very precise words in this book. For example when Mallory ran from the wedding and her dad found her, she started to cry and the author said that the tears that fell on her dress mixed with the yellow of the dress and made dark patches.

# data[].attributes.body
For dialogue, well, there was A LOT of DIALOGUE!!! Mallory and Max said A LOT so here is an example:
"Mom I never took Cheeseburger to school. I don't know why Max gets to take Champ." or "Dad!" and "Mom!"

# data[].attributes.body
For dialogue,

# data[].attributes.body
The author's craft in what I read today: The sound word that I found was a dog "barking" at Cheeseburger, Mallory's cat. The action that I found was Mallory waving the flyer about how Max shouldn't get a dog in her parents faces. The dialogue that I found was Joey saying "you will know the right dog when you see it." This made me see all of the different types of possible dogs in my mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The author did a good job describing the part in the chapter "Winners and Losers" where dad was frustrated with the kids constant fighting and called for a family meeting. the author described a scene where Max & Mallory sat on each end of the couch to themselves as if they were on separate teams and also describes how each kid thought about each other, each one blaming the other.

# data[].attributes.body
The author used a good description of the block tower that Mallory and Chloe Jennifer did for the twin boys they were watching. The boys made engine sounds and crawled to knock down the blocks. It was easy to imagine what it looked like in Mallory's room and there was a picture on the next page which also helped.

# data[].attributes.body
The Author used a lot of dialogue and small movements. For example Mallory swung her shoes back and fourth, back and forth, back and forth. The author said they made a squeaky sound. I think that the author is very descriptive with her words.

Mallory's relationship with Crystal isn't honest. Mallory lies to Crystal about what she's doing all the time. And, when Mallory made a plan to find out what max was doing, it worked - they were kissing.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory and Max's relationship isn't so well.. but he is sort of nice at Mallory's birthday. Their relationship is playful and they sometimes argue. Also Max uses jokes that aren't funny (well, sort of.) and Mallory doesn't fight back.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory doesn't like how Mary Ann is acting at the sleepover with Chloe Jennifer. She didn't even look at the schedule that Mallory made and is taking over the whole sleepover. Chloe Jennifer is acting more like a best friend than Mary Ann because she keeps checking to see if things are ok with Mallory.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory isn't being honest with Mary Ann because she keeps agreeing with her when she really doesn't want to agree she just doesn't want to upset her because she's afraid she won't want to be her friend anymore. Instead of telling Mary Ann that she feels left out since Chloe Jennifer moved to their street she she started operation "Three's a Crowd" to show Mary Ann they used to have more fun when it was just the two of them.

Mary Ann told Mallory to invite Chloe Jennifer for a sleepover and then she was acting like it was her house at the sleepover. Mallory felt left out in her own house. And Mary Ann also said "we always bake cookies at sleepovers" and she showed Chloe Jennifer where everything was in Mallory's kitchen.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory tries to be nice to Winnie because she is harsh on her which makes me think Mallory is scared of Winnie. Mary Ann and Mallory talk about stuff they both like for example, purses which makes me think they have stuff in common which also makes me think they are best friends. I know that Mallory is friendly from her relationship with Mary Ann.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory is going on a cruse with her friends and Mary Ann's mom and Joey's dad are getting married. Mallory is getting worried that Joey and Mary Ann are going to become best friends and forget about her. For example, when Mallory went shopping for a gift for Joey's dad and Mary Ann's mom went with Mary Ann, Joey and Winnie, all she wanted to do was go to the water park with Max, Timmy and Tammy.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory is still being very independent in her decisions.
For example, she tried to cut her bangs off! But that's not the point.
She also had an idea to have a birth month! And it's not going well. And
she's maybe a little too adventurous with her decisions...

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mallory is jealous because Mary Ann quickly became friends with a new girl who looks exactly like her. They both have two names, she is Mary Ann and the other girl is Chloe Jennifer. They both take dance class and have other things in common. So Mallory feels left out. In all of the books that I have read Mallory gets jealous and upset right away before really thinking about it and seeing if what she is upset about is really worth being upset about.

# data[].attributes.body
In the stories Mallory wants something, she is ambitious. Her plans to solve the problem doesn't work out her way and she gets frustrated. She goes to a family member which shows she is not afraid to ask for help. There is always a family member to help Mallory an give her advice. She gets advice on how to solve her problem and then she gets what she wants. I think that makes her persistent.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory was trying to find time for everything and she then felt that she had to cancel babysitting with her friend Chloe Jennifer. When she was working on a poem for the poem slam, she wasn't watching one of the twin boys and he colored on the wall!

Mallory changed her tune and decided to ask Max if she can take Champ in to her classroom because Max was bringing him to his classroom. She promised to follow the vet's rules about having the dog in school. She promised she would but she didn't. The problem is that she broke all three rules. She let other kids hold him, she let them feed him, and she didn't take him outside before the classroom so he went to the bathroom on the floor. She was very embarrassed.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory didn't want to spend time learning to train Champ so she made a bet with Max. The bet was that if Max could get his puppy Champ to sit on the first try then Mallory would have to do his chores but if he couldn't then he had to do Mallory's chores. They shook on it because Mallory didn't think he could do it. But then he did it and Mallory lost. She said "Dad it is a weekend do I have to?" and her dad said that a bet is a bet! So she went to sweep the garage.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory was saying she wanted to see her friend Mary Ann more. So when Mary Ann visited, she noticed that Mallory wanted to see her more and she came up with an idea for Mallory to live with her. And when I heard that I predicted that she would come live with her. THAT'S JUST CRAZY!!! And that's my prediction on what would happen next. It's sort of crazy.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first problem Mallory did not want to move. She solved that by making a new friend named Joey. In the next problem Mallory pinkie promised Mary Ann not to be friends with a boy next door. Mallory made up to Mary Ann by sneaking into a box and escaping from her home.

One problem in the story is that Mallory is moving to Fern Falls but she is not moving with Mary Ann. Another problem is that Mallory pinkie promised with Mary Ann that she would not be friends with any boy that lives next door but the first friend she has is a boy!

Mallory and her family were playing the name game to find a name for Max's new puppy. But she feels left out when everyone likes the name Champ but she doesn't. She said she feels like they are playing the favorite game and not the name game because she feels like her parents only care about Max and his dog. She already decided to stay in her room and wrote a letter to Mary Ann asking to send supplies since she want to leave her room. But then she smelled pizza and came out. My prediction is that she's going to keep saying that things aren't fair and that she and her cat are left out. She thinks everyone only cares about Max and his dog.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory is getting upset with her friend Mary Ann for not acting like her normal self. She is doing strange things to Mallory like not walking to school with Mallory, not returning to the emails Mallory sends and not eating lunch with her. Mallory feels that her friend is acting this way because Mallory got the lead role in the play, Annie.

The Cat food:
Joey was playing Mallory's favorite game and he pointed to...
CAT FOOD???  he chewed it and blamed Mallory for doing it. Mallory felt sad about it because Joey was a friend of hers. She also tried to stop it and that tells me that Mallory is a thoughtful person.

Mary-Ann is Mallory's best friend. She is very sweet, and kind, but she does not like Mallory's big brother, Max. I also think that she has a high pitched voice.

When Mallory wakes up, she hears the doorbell ring. She thinks it's just somebody selling fabric, but her friend's are there! Joey and Mary Ann stand side by side smiling while Joey holds a box of doughnuts. They bring Mallory down to the wish pond and talk together about how hard things have been with their little brother Charlie. They forgive each other and promise to spend more time together!

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory wanted to control what kind of dog Max got but he did not listen so Mallory got upset at Max. I think Mallory is the kind of person that only get's upset over nothing. She also thinks that Max is stealing Joey from her.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory seems jealous that her brother Max is getting a dog. She tried to stall the trip to the pet store because she kept showing old photos to her parents and called it "scrapbook day".
She also did a protest march in the kitchen and used a megaphone to say why he should not get a dog. She had a list of 10 reasons!

Mallory is not having a good time with Joey and Mary Ann together.
She reacts to it like she's surprised because she promised Mary Ann that she wouldn't become friends with a boy next door and she didn't listen to Mary Ann about her pinkie swear about that... but they get along well.
So that means Mallory is very independent in her decisions.

Mallory's problems are that her friends are making her feel like she is left out of everything it is making her feel very badly.

In the purse problem Mallory starts a business. Mallory has four business flops but when she starts a salon with her best friend she gets enough money to buy the purse! In the birthday problem Mallory feels guilty for buying the purse and not getting her brother Max a birthday present. She solves the problem by working for Max for one whole day! There were two lessons. One was that you you don't have to be the same or have the same stuff as other people. The other one was that it's not better to get stuff for yourself but it's better to get stuff for other people.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory talked to her mom and dad about how she doesn't think the Perfect Purse is as perfect as she thought it would be. But Mary Ann does. Mary Ann loves it. Mallory's parents are telling her that it's ok she didn't get a present for her brother and that she and Mary Ann might not always love the same things and that's ok. Mallory also told her parents that Mary Ann made a good point because Max is mean to her sometimes so it was ok to not get him a gift. Mallory's mom agreed with that and said "that is true but two wrongs don't make a right".

# data[].attributes.body
One problem in this story was that all four of Mallory's businesses were a flop but when she wrote a letter to her best friend she said something about doing a salon when they are grown ups. Her friend Mary Ann said they should do the salon when she comes to visit for the weekend and they did it! Now she has enough money to buy the Perfect Purse BUT she also needs to have enough money to buy a present for her older brother Max that's turning 11. If she buys a present for him, she can also buy a little present for herself but not enough for the Perfect Purse. She doesn't know what to do. If she gets the Perfect Purse for herself she won't have money to buy a present for Max but she will make him a very special card with her best stickers and glitter.She decided to get the Perfect Purse but she didn't feel good about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Mallory was begging her parents to get the Perfect Purse since her best friend was getting one. Her parents seem nice but they didn't want to buy it for her because it was expensive and she doesn't need it. But she got on the phone with her grandma. Her grandma is very nice and gives good advice. And her advice was to start her own business to earn money so she can buy the purse. Her grandmas business was selling oranges for a penny so she could get enough money to buy a doll with silk clothes.
Mary Ann is Mallory's best friend but they don't live near each other anymore. They talk on the phone and love the same things and both wanted the perfect purse. But Mallory didn't get one and Mary Ann did.
Joey is Mallory's neighbor and friend. He likes likes to skateboard with her and teach her cat Cheeseburger tricks. He didn't like that she was ignoring him because she was so focused on getting the perfect purse.

From the cover and the blurb, I think that Mallory is going to start a business with a friend so that she can make money to buy the expensive purse that her parents won't buy.

The Table of Contents shows a lot of ups and downs about her life and business.

I'm excited to read the book!
