Ellen Tebbitts by Beverly Cleary

The book I read was Ellen Tebbits. The main characters are Ellen, Austine, and the teacher Miss.Joyce. This book was about Ellen who didn’t have any friends. That was because Ellen blocked herself from finding friends. Ellen had very good manners. One day Ellen made a friend named Austine, they were best friends so much that they both decided to wear the same dress to school. Ellen's dress was different from Austine, because Ellen's dress had a sash on it but Austine didn’t. When they both got to school someone pulled Ellens sash off her dress, Ellen turned around and BAM, she had slapped Austine in the face. Later on that day Austine wasn’t her friend anymore. A week later Miss.Joyce chose Ellen to do a special job during class which was clapping half of chalk board erasers and she picked a different student to do the other half of the erasers. Mrs.Joyce picked Austine. Then the two girls went outside to go and clap the erasers and then BAM Ellen had ripped Austine dress. Austine wanted to slap her but instead she said “Ellen it wasn't me who had ripped your sash off your dress, it was that one new kid Otis.” Ellen said back to her, “I’m so sorry Austine you were behind me so I thought it was you. Can we just be friends again?” Later on both of them were best friends again.


I thought book was very good. I have read different books by Beverly Cleary, I think she is a very good book writer. I think everyone should read this book because it is just that good. This book is very detailed from beginning  to the end. One thing that i didn't like was Ellen was a very good girl but she just blocked herself from finding friends. All in all I thought this was a very good book.
