Summary: Dear Mr. Henshaw
Comment: A classic story that many children in today's society can really relate to with the rising divorce rate. Leigh speaks on their level, simply looking for some one to reach out to.
Dear Mr. Henshaw is a great book for kids that are having troubles with their life, like everyday children. Reading this book as an adult I associated it with my personal life. Leigh has problems with his parent's divorce, he hates not being able to see his dad. This leads him to a lot of emotional stress. Through this mess one of his teachers makes him write a letter to his favorite author. Leigh writes Mr. Henshaw a letter that asks him all sorts of questions about himself. After this the two of them write back and forth for a couple of years. This relationship gives Leigh confidence in himself when Mr. Henshaw tells Leigh that he should keep a journal. This journal allows Leigh to get his feelings out. Things stop bothering Leigh so much and by the end of the book he starts to enjoy his life more. This book is really good for an upper elementary child, and can even for an adult. Simplistic artwork for the cover, which demonstrates that this story is about an average boy.

Summary: Dear Mr.Henshaw's book review
Comment: The book "Dear Mr.Henshaw" to me was really great. One of the reasons why I liked it was because it awas about a boy's interesting life. Another reason why I liked the book was because the boy didn't get fustrated because he didn't have anybody to play with. The final reason why I liked this book was because it actually has a point not like other books that are long and they don't really say nothing.
The most important character in this book is called Leigh Botts and he is an only child. His parents divorce after an argument overa trick that Mr.Botts wanted to buy. At first he used to live in Bakersfield CA,and then moved to Pacific Grove CA. Now he attends a new elementary school and they always steal his lunch because his mom puts him delicious food since she's a great cook. He writes to his favorite author for tips on how to write.
The two secondary characters are Mr.Henshaw and his mom Bonie Botts. Mr. Henshaw is Leighs favorite author and sometimes answers his letters. Bonie is Leigh's mom, she works in a restaurant and is a great cook. She cares alot about his son.
At first the story took place in Bakersfield and then they moved to Pacific Grove after his mom divorced. This new place where they now live is important because by accident his dad stops by a near by gas station.
First dad starts working in a company where he houled things like cotton and carrots. Second he wanted to buy a truck that was too expensive. Third mom and dad had an argument over the truck. Fourth they moved to Pacific Grove. Fifth he saw his dad finally after a long time.
Leigh faces the problem that his parents are divorced. He has hard time in school. Many kids in school don't notice him.
I think she wrote this book just for fun. Maybe she just wanted to entertain readers. That's why I think she wrote it.
