WONG: Minn and Jake

Wong, Janet. “Minn and Jake.” Frances Foster Books. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2003.

I feel Wong did a great job with the short story Minn and Jake. She really captured what it can be like in elementary school. I found it neat how I related with Minn in the sense that I was the tallest girl in the glass that had to stand on the back row for the class picture. The book was very interesting and I sped right through it. There were many true examples of children of that age and how they act. Lola was the perfect example of the girl everyone thought was annoying and always gossiping and daring people to do things. I’m really glad we had to read this book
