Fish In A tree Lynda Mullaly Hunt( 1st blog)

Summary 
Because its the beginning of our last quarter of Heritage Middle School, I decided to read a brand new book that my teacher bought and its called "Fish In a Tree". The book is about a girl named Ally and how she is struggling in school because teachers always see her as a joke. Ally is a sixth grader but she doesn't think before she acts. Because Ally is known as a joke she doesn't have many friends. She struggles because she feels like no one likes her and she feels that everyone cant take her serious. Her dad is in the military so she lives with her brother and her mom.


Character Traits 

Ally: Outgoing 
On page 75 Ally gives half of her flowers to Keisha because Keisha (another student) flower petals started to fall off and Mrs.Moldoon lectures her and demands her to give the flowers up. Because Ally felt bad she decided to give half of her flowers to her. Ally and Keisha then where the only girls without flowers but they were the only girls that had smiles on their faces. 

Albert: Forgiving
Albert is another main character in the book "Fish In A Tree". Albert is picked on a lot by his other peers. Shay and Jessica are kind of there own group but they enjoy picking on Albert. On page 92 Shay starts making fun Albert because Albert decided to cut his back shoe into flippers, and he wears the same clothes everyday, and because of that Shay and Jessica like to pick on him. Ally ask if he gets hurt by what the girls say and he explains to her how he doesn't care what other people think, he tells Ally that its not good to listen to those who underestimate you and how make fun of you for no reason. As Ally is listening she ends the sentence with "If I were to wish anything, it would probably be to be just to be like Albert".
