The Report Card By Andrew Clements: Review by Carolyn P.

In the book The Report Card the main character is a girl named Nora who wants more than anything to fit in. Though it is hard because Nora is like a second Albert Einstien and that would be difficult to hide. She learned to read encyclopedias at the age of two and knows more things than any one of her family members. The plot takes place in Connecticuts Philbrook Elementry school where Nora is starting her fifth grade year. It starts when Nora comes home with a report card with all D's except for in spelling where she got a C. Although you may think this was the worst thing Nora would have experienced in her life so far; your dead wrong. It was all for her best friend Stephen; to make him feel good. This was all part of the plan. Unfortunate for her this plan partly fails. The teachers and parents where all over her at once trying to figure out what went wrong. In the process though they find the hidden genius. So she and her best friend make up another plan that she would get zeros on her tests and have all the people in the school get zeros. This plan worked but with coincidence. They get into deep trouble and by there reasoning find a way out of it.

I would give this book a three out of five. It wasn't my favorite book but it it wasn't horribly bad. It just wasn't well written. Some of the books Andrew Clemets has wrote where good but this on was not really. This book was for a person who is at a lower level of reading then I.
