Book Review __**The Landry News**__-written by Andrew Clements I think that Mr Larson is really nice now and a really nice teacher. Before Cara came along he was a bad teacher and he did not teach anything He also didn't care about the kids but now he cares about them. I think that he feels happy now and I think that he will teach his class now. I think that now Cara shows some mercy in her paper but in her other schools she didn't show mercy. Mr. Larson has taught Cara to show mercy. Cara has been really bad in her other school because she told the school about other things other people has done and she said it in a mean way and she didn't ask first. In this book a lot of things have changed. I think they have changed because the class has changed. The class feels better about Mr. Larson and they probably like him now. I think everyone has changed that includes the news paper because it has mercy. It also has changed by telling the truth. My reaction of the book is that you need to show kindness to when you are speacking or even writing a news paper. This book has also taught me to be nice to others all the time even if they are mean to you. I love this book because it tells you things about how to express your feelings by writeing and talking to others. I know that you need to be kind to others and they will be nice to you.
