Gloria's Way

Gloria's Way
Ann Cameron

Gloria is best friends with Julian and his little brother Huey, and she has as much to say as they do. There's the parrot that ruins the Valentine for her mother; Huey's dog, who needs to be cured of his squirrel obsession; and what happens when classmate Latisha tricks Gloria, Julian, and Huey-but they don't know until it's too late! Fans of Ann Cameron's best-selling chapter books about Julian and Huey will love Gloria, too.

First of all, it was GLORIA who dumped "paste pie" on the steps. Anyway, she did it becasue she was mad about how Latisha locked her in the playhouse until they would eat the pie.

Gloria gave her mother a Valentine card. At first it was on the door, but then it fell off. Silly parrot! What were you thinking?!

Why did Latisha dump “paste pie” on the steps?
I think it was Gloria that dumped the pie and Latisha had the house, but oh well. She dumped it because she was upset about Gloria locking her in the playhouse with her friends until they ate her paste pie.

I love to do hair. I told one of my friends I could do her hair real pretty. So she gave me a chance. I started out okay, but then I started to mess up. My friend trusts me still with her hair now, because I've gotten better. But back then, YUCK!

What did Gloria give her mother for Valentine’s Day?
Gloria was about ot give her the most beautiful valentine ever. but she hung it on the doorknob and it got ruined by the parrot. So she made another one, except this valentine was even more beautiful than that other one, because she made it from the heart. Even if it wasn't with colored paper.

It is a very funny story. I like the part when they put the apple pie on the porch.

I think it was pretty ineresting because her friends threw her pie on her playhouse porch. Then close to the end they all tried to train the dog.

I like the book because Gloria is a good girl. But, she is always having trouble. She fixes it, so I like the book.

I thought your book Gloria's Way was a good book. I liked it when Gloria's father helped her with fractions, and dad didn't usualy talk to her.

I thought is was a short book, but it related or reminded me of me. How when I have problems like that. I like how she always went to a grown up. I liked the book you picked Mrs. Doyle.

The book was a book I enjoyed. I liked the book because it teaches you that everything can't always be the way you want it to be.

I thought it was cool. It shows a little respect. Gloria was kind of mean.

I like the part when Latisha was locking the door. She was kind of mean. But, they got what they deserved.

On a scale of 1-10 . I give it a six. Because it's not the best book I've heard.
