THERE'S A BOY IN THE GIRLS' BATHROOM


The characters in a novel make the story come to life. Think of the main characters in the novel, There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom. Bradley and Jeff are important to the story. Their personality traits affect the main events in the story.


Your job today is to choose one character.

1. Describe that character's personality and use details from the book to back up your opinion.


2. What is your opinion of that character? Use specifics from the book to explain why you feel this way.

I have loved reading every since I was a child. The Van Gogh Cafe by Cynthia Rylant is one of my favorites. The book is a collection of memories about a restaurant in Kansas that is run by a father and his daughter, Clara. I love this book because my students are always surprised by the unexpected things that happen to Clara and her father. I appreciate the beautiful language Cynthis Rylant uses to describe her characters and their adventures.
I'm sure you have a favorite book, too. Now, please tell me which book is your favorite and why.
