Today I’m going to review the book I read “The Report Card” by Andrew Clements. This book talks about how kids can be really stressed out by the full fierce tests and grades. The school teachers can also be stressed I learnt. Vastly just getting good grades in itself doesn’t mean anything or does not make one successful. Report cards and the grades on them are a slice of one’s success in one aspect of their school life.

The author has succinctly sowed the seed of the impact we have made with the grades on every one. The main character in the book is Nora who is profoundly gifted but gets low grades, intentionally, to make a point. The story is gripping as the reader has no clue about how and why she gets lower grades. There are several twists and consequences of her actions and amazing suspense that let’s the reader hang onto through the end.

The character Nora is very bold and brave . I was initially mistaken that she is being disrespectful to her teachers and parents . But after careful consideration I feel she is more responsible and a leader with absolute clarity.

I’m also going to pave a similar path I suppose. This has become one of my favorite reads too. I recommend this should be read by all kids to get a complete understanding of the testing and grading system!
