Summary: A real-life story
Comment: "In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson" is about a Chinese girl named Shirley Temple Wong who moves from China to America by ship to join her father.
When she gets there, she does not like it. She cannot speak English. She is the only 8 year-old and goes into the fifth grade because she thinks she is 10.
Shirley eventually makes friends and learns about baseball. Jackie Robinson is not one of the main characters but he means a lot to Shirley.
She gets beat up a lot by a girl named Mable with surprising results.
It is a good book that I would recommend to people who like real life stories.

Summary: An Exciting Book!
Comment: This book is about a Chinese girl named Shirley. She had to move China to Brooklyn New york when she was about ten years old. It was difficult for her to move to America because she was Chinese and didn't speak very good English, and she didn't have that many friends. The book tells about how she comes to love baseball and how her favorite player is Jackie Robinson. At the end of the book she gets to meet Jackie Robinson. This book is ok, but not great. The interesting parts are when it is about baseball. For example, Shirley listens to the radio when it tells about the baseball game. The games she listens to are the Brooklyn Dodgers games and she especially likes hearing about Jackie Robinson. You can learn a lot about Jackie Robinson by reading those parts of the book. When it isn't about baseball the book isn't as interesting. I recommend to people who want to know what Jackie Robinson did. It also tells about what it is like to be a Chinese person in America and that might be interesting for some people to read about.

Summary: A Journey to America
Comment: I like In the year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson because I think it's a good book for boys and girls and because it's funny too. I think it's a good book for boys because some of it is about baseball and I think it's a good book for girls because the main character is a girl who loves baseball. It's funny because it has alot of parts were Shirley [the main character]has trouble with American customs and misunderstands. For example, the principal winks at her and she thinks it's an American greeting, and she can't wink so she just blinks both her eyes. She does this to the teacher and the teacher sends home a note telling her parents to get her eyes checked because she keeps blinking.
She came from China with her mother to live with her father in New York. At recess her friends invite her to play a game called stickball [it's kind of like baseball] and she's really good so her friends call her Jackie Robinson and then in school she asks who the famous baseball player Jackie Robinson is and the teacher tells her and then Shirley becomes a big fan of Jackie Robinson and listens to him play baseball on the radio. I think it has a really good ending.
