The students in the Book Club are currently reading through The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman. We just completed a brain teasers contest. Students worked in teams to solve word, number and logic puzzles. Everyone worked very hard and was able to experience the Gollywhopper Games in a new way!
Mrs. Eaton's thoughts on the book:
I like this book because of Gil's attitude throughout the story. He is a hard worker, he has goals and dreams of a better life for his family, and will do his best to win the games so they can start over and leave "The Incident" behind them. He does great job of standing up for himself and working well with people who are very difficult. I like the opportunity to solve the logic puzzles as I read and I can't wait to see if Gil is able to stay strong until the end and to find out if the family decides to start over or stay where they are! I think that the Gollywhopper Games is a great read and I recommend it to anyone.
Please let me know what you think about the books, and if you would recommend it to a friend.

I LOVE the Gollywhopper Games. It is filled with action and a touch of romance to make it interesting.
The Golly Wopper Games is a fantastic book.They're lots of contest and riddles.Gil's dad works at the Golly Wopper Games.
Gil is playing so he can win and move because he is embarassed.
There are 5 people in each team. Gil's teammates are Rocky, Lavinia, Thorn, and Binaca.
