I got to page 65 and then I ended up skimming the rest. I liked the concept, it had potential, but it didn't live up to it. It started off pretty strong, but it quickly showed its true colors. More high school drama than cool alien story. Way too long and very melodramatic. Corny, even, at times. Sarah (trapped in a burning house): "You came." Number Four (to the rescue, and as flames lick at his clothes): "No one, and nothing, will ever hurt you as long as I'm alive." The saccharine sweet "romance" at the heart of this story has no substance, and neither do any of the characters--except for Number Four himself. I liked him, and he's the reason I kept on to see how it all shook out. I'm thinking the movie's gotta be better than the book.
This picture book/memoir by Tim Tingle provides a great springboard for talking about attitudes toward Native Americans. Told as a memoir, Tingle tells a story about his grandmother that all children will be able to relate to. Themes of bullying and what it means to really 'see" people.
