Rendition As Books Crenshaw

In her first novel since winning the Newbery Medal, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.

Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times. There's no more money for rent. And not much for food, either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan. Again.

Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?

Beloved author Katherine Applegate proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or imaginary.

Notice Containing Books Crenshaw

My 4 star rating is on how the subject matter made me feel. It's hard for me to throw out 5's unless the plot was amazing. A boy and his family go into near homelessness for the second time, ready to live in their minivan. Crenshaw, the imaginary cat reappears when Jackson needs him the most. The father has MS and is too proud to ask for help. The mother has 3 part time jobs and still cannot provide enough to pay the rent. It is heartbreaking to know 1 in 5 children are near starvation in this

So this was a surprisingly fast read despite the very dark topic (I took the book with me this morning but didn't actually start reading it until this afternoon on the train).The book is clearly for children but I'll be damned if adults (no matter if they already have children of their own or not) can't learn a lot from it too!The story is about the boy Jackson, his parents and his little sister Robin. The parents are failed musicians turned whatnots and they are in deep financial trouble (also

Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate is a beautifully and creatively written middle grade story exploring poverty, homelessness, and imaginary friends. Because the content of this book builds compassion and the topic of homelessness might worry some readers, I'm recommending it as an excellent read together book.As a teacher at a Title 1 school where the student population often experienced poverty and homelessness, I made many personal connections with this story which enriched my reading

3.25 stars Imaginary friends are like books. We're created, we're enjoyed, we're dog-eared and creased, and then we're tucked away until we're needed again. This book is such a quick and enjoyable read! This book had themes of imaginary friends, friendship, family, financial issues, magic and sibling relationships. I enjoyed some of the analogues in this book, I felt Applegate did a good job of comparing two things to make one seem more understandable to younger readers. "I felt like I

I was really surprised by Crenshaw. Its off-beat, original story is enough to draw any reader in, but it's the characters, their family unity and support, that really keeps everything interesting. I'm glad that this book didn't go for the cliché "imaginary friend mental illness" plot the way so many books featuring imaginary friends often do. Instead, Crenshaw is just a wonderful story about friendship, family and loyalty, and it's a book I don't think I'll ever forget.

This is a book I read with my daughter (she is ten). She gave it 4 stars. Her favorite character was Crenshaw. She said it was a good book because it showed a family that had financial issues. They sometimes lived in their van and couldn't find work. They went from apartment to apartment. The mother, father, Jackson, the son, the sister Abigail, and the dog, Aretha.Some of their toys and stuff had to be sold in garage sales and once, the father sat on a corner and had to ask for money.

E ARC from Netgalley.comJackson and Robin's parents are struggling to make ends meet. They are both artistic, and have tried to take whatever jobs they can to earn money, but Jackson's father has multiple sclerosis, and this makes matters even more difficult.

About this time, Jackson is revisited by Crenshaw, a giant yet invisible talking cat who last appeared when he was younger
