Our favorite part of Fame and Glory was when Harlem got his glasses and was able to see and even though they lost the spelling bee they became friends.

Fame and glory was one of my favorite books to read for a sunshine state because a girl named Bird tried to be Harlem Tate's friend when no one wanted to be his friend and at the end of the story they became best friends. He became a very good basketball player and every wanted to be his friend

This book is about a girl named Bird who wanted to make friends with a boy named Harlem. Harlem's dad works at a tatoo parlor. Eveyone in Harlem's class says his mom choked on a chicken bone and his dad is in jail. But that is not the truth. The kids in his class also think he isn't smart. Bird notices he can spell really long words correctly.

I recommend this book because I read the title and the summary, and thought it was pretty good. So I read the book and it turned out really good. That is why I recommend this book.

Our favorite people are Bird and Ms. Delfen. Bird is cool and we like her.
Bird's big sister is really mean. Ms. Delfen is Bird's best friend. Bird was mad when she lost the spelling bee.

THIS book was a personal favorite of mine, well besides the miraculas journey.... This book is reccemended by me if your on the battle team or not. this story containes a girl named bird\ burdette. she really wanted to have a friend. she wanted some fame and glory and to go to Disney as well. then one day the spelling bee came around and she thought no one would be her partner. however she finally went to the tattoo parlor and saw how well harlem could spell because he was making signs.she asked him if he could be her partner. he said no but then he changed his mind. he needed to get glasses. but he didnt get them before the spelling bee.do you think they won? well bird gets mad but then understands. harlem gets glasses. he then was great at basketball and everyone wanted to be his friend. now he has friends. do you think bird is mad and doesnt want to be friends with him anymore? read this book to find out.
