The+Honest-to-Goodness+Truth



We read __The Honest-to- Goodness Truth__ by Patricia C. Mckissack. This book is about a little girl named Libby that lied to her mom then said that she would never do it again. Next she took it too far that she hurt her friends and one of her neighbors feelings. Then at the end she said sorry to all of her victims and she got forgiven by all of them.

One character in this story is Libby. Libby is a kind and honest person trying to do the right thing. Even when people were mean to her horse and they said it was ugly but she stood up for her horse by saying that it is not ugly.

Libby learned something in this story. In the beginning Libby was mean because she told her friends the truth and it hurt their feelings. Then she said sorry to all of her victims.

One theme we discovered is that you should keep the bad thoughts in yourself. I know this because Libby told everyone at church that her friend had a hole in her sock. And because Libby did that she embarrassed her in front of everyone.
