Roxie and the Hooligans

Roxie and the Hooligans by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (Grades 3-5)

Helvetia's Hooligans have chosen Roxie Warbler to be the Victim of the Year. It is not a good thing. However, Roxie’s sense of adventure turns her into a hero. Picking on someone is a sign of disrespect. Look up the word respect in the dictionary. Look in the St. Petersburg Times to find one example of a person showing respect and one example of a person not showing respect. Don’t forget to look in the comics! Share the examples you find here. How could the person showing disrespect turn around his or her behavior.

If you've read this you should know how

I read Roxie and the Hooligans and I loved it. The Hooligans were disrespectful to her in the begining so she swam out into the sea while the Hooligans followed behind. Roxie swam all the way across from one way to the other. At night they went into the woods to sleep. Roxie climbed up a tree to sleep so nobody can hurt her. At night two robbers went to the woods and said to them self anything they see they would slice it in half and have it for dinner. At the end Roxie was a hero. The Hooligans never called her big ears again.

The book Roxie and the Hooligans is a very interesting book!It's cool that Roxie has a famous uncle.I think its unusual the way Roxie and the hooligans got stuck on the small island!Roxie was very fortunate to have an uncle that could teach her the things she needed to know when in danger.One thing I know about Roxie is that she is VERY brave!!!

Hi my name is Jodelle and I loooove Roxie and the Hooligans I love her uncle Dangerfoot and he is so cool.Also Ilike the way Roxie stood up to the Hooligans and taught them what she learned from a book and it was not to panic.So that is why I love Roxie and the Hooligans because it has drama, nasty things she did and things that happen in reality when you go to school.

I THOUGHT THE HOOLIGANS WERE THE MEANEST. I THOUGHT THEY DESERVED DETENTION.JUST BECAUSE ROOXIE HAS BIG EARS. JUST BECAUS SOMEONE HAS BIG EARS YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE FUN OF THEM. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS BIG EARS EXCEPT FOR ME. SO IM PERFECTLY FINE WITH BIG EARS. I DONT THINK ANYONE SHOULD MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BIG EARS.
