Cleary, B. (1983).
Dear Mr. Henshaw. NY: Morrow.
Summary: Leigh
Botts is a second grader whose favorite author is Mr. Henshaw. For four
years, he communicates with him through letters and tells him about things that
happen in his life like his parent’s divorce, his dad’s broken promises, and
even a writing contest. One day, Mr. Henshaw suggests to start writing
everything inside a journal. This definitely helps Leigh let out all his anger
and everything he feels inside. The boy that once started writing to his
favorite author soon becomes a young man that accepts everything he goes
through.
Review: A brilliant book
that shows that writing can help you let out feelings. Great novel that
includes some humor for young readers to enjoy and learn about things that can
happen in anyone’s life.
