Drita emigrates to New York City from Kosovo. During a social studies project, she meets Maxie, a native New Yorker who can’t seem to stay quiet in school. What can two girls from such different worlds possibly have in common? More than you think.

ReplyDeleteI think Drita My Homegirl is a great book. It is about friendship. Drita,a girl who moved from another country, meets Maxy, a girl who's popular. Maxy and Drita become friends. You should read the book to find out what happens next.

This girls come from two different worlds but also find to have alike of things in common.Don't just don't look at a person and assume that you don't like get to know them, first get to know them that's lesson that everybody should know of all ages.Read the book to see what they go through to become friends.

I really enjoyed this book! This book teaches you alot about friendship. It's amazing how two girls from two different countries can be friends. When one of them can barely speak english. This book shows alot about what it's like to be the new kid and try and make friends. It's really hard to try and fit in, at a new school, in a new country. I would highly recommend this book!

I really liked this story because it shows that people with very different backgrounds can be the best of friends. Simple things like a project where you work together can create a strong friendship. Drita and Maxie build a strong friendship from being paired together for a science project. This reminds me of last year when a Chinese girl named Susan came to school. She didn't speak English at first but learned the language. Susan became close friends with some of my classmates. They had totally different backgrounds just like Drita and Maxie but still were friends.AL Gr.5 SPG
ReplyDeleteits weard because they become friends at the end
ReplyDeleteI thought this book was great.My favorite part was when Drita and Maxie met because Maxie didnt wont Drita to sit at her desk,I think thats why people should learn how to get along and it doesnt matter what skin color you have.

I thought this was a great book because it tells people attract.Drita moved from anther coutry and could not eat because her mom did not want her to get sick and when Maxie said "she is the kind of white people that is so pale u can see right though her that was my favorite part.

I think this book is nice because they're two different girls that beomes friends. My favorite part was whan maxie's grandma singed ''oh,it's stormy Monday,I'm feeling oh so sad,Lord,it's stormy Monday,I'm feeling oh so sad,Blues are raining down on me,and I;m feelin' oh so mad...'',i can read it all day.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book but I think there were a couple of words that were not appropriate for young readers. I did like the book though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for running this incredible book club! Our family's full review for "Drita, My Homegirl" is linked to my name above.
ReplyDeleteI liked this book because it showed that two girls from different places could be friends. The book is interesting because it has two points of view, one from each girl.
