"Perhaps my favorite part of the book was the alternating voices. To me they illustrated what other parts of the story were also teaching: that individuals bring their own strengths and weaknesses to a relationship and to life. The story is interesting and fun to read. Exciting to find out the mystery, which kept me reading until I finished. And then there were enough weighty themes and ideas to keep me thinking about it for awhile afterward."
"The Wave by, Todd Strasser is about a teacher named Ben Ross who makes an experiment to show the kids in his class what it was really like to be a Nazi. In beginning of the book Mr. Ross shows the kids a movie about the Holocaust. This was shocking and horrifying for them. Mr. Ross explains to the class that only ten percent of the population was Nazi's at this time but everyone was afraid to stand up to the leader, Adolf Hitler. The next day he writes STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE on the blackboard. Students are required to sit up straight, and when answering questions, stand by their desks and spit out the answers. This was the start of the movement called "The Wave". Weeks go by and the experiment is still going on. Many parents begin to get mad at Mr. Ross because all of their children are losing what makes them different from one another. Each child had to sit together at lunch and do the same things. By the end of the book Ben Ross has an assembly to tell the kids "The Wave" was over. The reason why he ended it was because everyone lost his or her originality and the experiment was way too successful.
In The Wave the Ben Ross's wife never liked the idea of having the movement. I agreed with her when she said that the kids were loosing their originality. At the beginning of the book when Mr. Ross first started the experiment it was a good idea but by the end I did not agree with what he was doing.
I really liked reading The Wave by, Todd Strasser because it was really interesting and captivating to watch the transformation of the kids from before the movement and after. This book made me realize that we are very fortunate to live in a country where independent thinking is encouraged. In Nazi Germany the masses and the group mentality was encouraged. When we think back on it we noticed that it was a horrible time in the world."
"This is a fun young adult book about a family sailing from the East Coast of America to England. You read the logs of Sophie and her cousin Cody, and get to put together the pieces of the story from what they tell you. It is a fun book and a quick read."
"A journey from New England to Old in a sailboat leads the narrators (a girl and her boy "cousin") to grow up. Lots of good adventure, a bit of a mystery about what happened to the girl's parents, excellent dynamic characters who learn, grow, change, come to terms with their pasts. Level unidentified. The girl could be middle/junior high, but the story might appeal to high school readers, too. Positive."
