The Landry News

Such a good book! So many great lessons for kids!!

I love this book. I remember reading it in elementary school, but had to read it again for my one of my ED classes. It was just as wonderful as an adult. As a soon-to-be teacher, it also touched my heart AND gave me great teaching ideas! I definitely recommend for young students (2nd-4th grade) to read this book...as well as teachers!

I like it it’s a good inspiration thing so yeah I liked it but um I had to read it for school but even if I didn’t have to I would have read it

I read this book so that I could help my oldest son with his homework and I absolutely loved it! I even told my daughter about it who I am sure will love it too. I teared up a little bit when they boy read his story towards the end and I think it is a good way to learn about journalism, the bill of rights and fighting for your rights. I can not stress enough that every child (of the appropriate reading level) should read this book!

Im a 9 year old girl, I always loved Clements' books. I want to say this book inspires me and I think it's one of the best books Andrew wrote, like The School Story. I have to say that this book was really interesting, and in vacations, it maybe makes me miss school a bit. (SPOILER ALERT) I like how Mr. Larson was a really careless person but then he becomes proud of his job and students. Someday I might even make a newspaper myself!

My son had to read this book for a school project and he is not an avid reader. He did not want to read the book but after five pages he was completely sucked in. He started asking questions about the constitution, amendments to the constitutions, freedom of speech, etc. It was great to see him interested on great topics thanks to this book.

THIS BOOK is a great book about a child's faith grade journey and all of the chain reactions her newspaper starts it is a very good book and I would especially recommend it to kids going through or who have gone through a divorce this book is very sincere and I would definitely read it again and again

This book was one of the best books Andrew Clements has ever wrote! I gave this book a 5 star rating because this book has you on the edge of your sit through out the book. Anyone one who really likes the books Andrew Clements writes, including Frindle, should read this book. Enjoy! :)

じんわりと感動し、また、考えさせられることも多い、学校を舞台にした物語です。「The Landry News」という小学校5年生の女の子が作り始めた新聞を軸に物語は描かれています。「報道の自由」と「プライバシーの侵害、人権」という難しい問題について授業がなされます。先生は一方的に教えるのではなくて、生徒たちに考えさせ、話し合わせながら授業を進めていきます。しかし、最初からこのような授業が行われていたわけではありません。どれほど素晴らしい先生でも、良い(やる気のある)生徒たちにめぐり合わなければ素晴らしい授業は開花しないのかな・・ということを感じました。また、この新聞のモットー「Truth and Mercy」、いつも心の隅に置いておきたい言葉だと思いました。
