The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin HenkesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I've read some reviews that refer to The Year of Billy Miller as a quiet book, and I agree with that description. I was really excited to read this book and I enjoyed it very much. Because I most often read middle grade fiction, at times I found myself waiting for the action; however, I do appreciate this "quiet" story for younger readers.I think Henkes' novel would make a wonderful read aloud for first or second graders; the school story, the family relationships, and the friendships will provide opportunities for discussion. I look forward to sharing this one with the teachers and students at my school.
