This is What I Did:

     This is What I Did: by Ann Dee Ellis is about a boy named Logan who had to move to a new neighborhood just a couple blocks down from his old neighborhood. He had to move because of what happened with his friend, Zyler. It doesn't tell you until the end of the book about what happened to his friend Zyler and why he had to move away. So, Logan didn't like his new school, neighborhood, or pretty much everyone around him. Logan's neighbors weren't very nice to him and always made fun of him. Logan also talked about Zyler; how they would do a lot of fun things together, and how much he missed him. Read this book to find out what happened to Zyler and how Logan manages to live with everyone that is rude to him.
  
     This book was very entertaining and instructive. It's entertaining because the book its about a boy around the same age as me so I could relate to some of things that happened to him, or things that he did or said. For example, the event that we both attend middle school. Additionally, it made allusions about LDS topics and that I could relate to as well. This book is also instructive.  It was instructive because it said how to treat others and how not to treat others. Along with that you should treat everyone kindly, and the way you would like to be treated. For example, Bryce was extremely rude to Logan by making up names for him and bullied him all the time. Not once in the book was Bryce nice to Logan. I think the author was trying to instruct us to treat everyone kindly.
    
     The author wrote to treat everyone kindly. Not only is it not nice, it's not fun for the person that is being treated unkindly. For example, during the car ride to scout camp, Bryce was asking all of the boys in the car to think of names to call Logan. The names were all very unkind and none of them seemed to care that they were making Logan feel bad. Another thing that the author mentioned is to talk to someone when you are having a hard time. In the book, Bryce never wanted to talk to his parents, or anyone about what was going wrong. Whether it was being bullied in scouts, or what happened to his best friend Zyler, he never talked to anyone about it. From this example
 I think the author was saying that you should talk to someone about what's going on and hopefully they can help you or give advice.

     I really enjoyed this book. It's a short book and easy to understand. I thought it was entertaining because it was relatable, along with being instructive. I would recommended this book to anyone that enjoys realistic-fiction and a good book! A+
