One Crazy Summer tells the story of three sisters who travel to Oakland, California, in 1968 to meet the mother who abandoned them. Eleven year old Delphine is like a mother to her two younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern. She's had to be, ever since their mother, Cecile, left them seven years ago for a radical new life in California. When they arrive from Brooklyn to spend the summer with her, Cecile is nothing like they imagined. source: Amazon.com
I think chapter one of one crazy summer was a great chapter. All the girls are different and I will tell you how. Fern is a little like Kristi from Number the Stars because she is always carrying a doll, and she is funny and sassy. Delphine is the older, mature sister and she is the one who keeps Vonetta and Fern in line. She is also more responsible. The chapter is very detailed it has “meat and beans”, and I LOVE the comedy in chapter one. But, they need to add WHY Cecile left Pa. I also like big Ma because she is sassy and strict but sweet.

The reason why I like chapter one in “One crazy summer” is because I like sassy books and comedy because it is funny. To read both sassy and comedy is awesome because it is like someone teaching you a lesson because it is two things in one. The book also gives you hints about what is going to happen next. It’s easy to get caught up with the story if you don’t know what is going on happen again. By: Mary Jane Conant Stocking Elementary 5th grade
I think chapter 1 was a very funny chapter and it has lots of dialogue. It has lots of characters and lots of details about the characters. We met a lot of characters just in the first chapter. I think that Big Ma was my favorite person. BY: Gerald Davis Stocking Elementary 5th Grade
I thought chapter 1 was funny. But the funniest character was Big ma she was so funny. So far the book is good. I like what Pa said when he was acting like the kids were sacks of laundry. I also like the title of chapter 1 called Cassius Clay Clouds. I really like the I can’t wait what to read more. Oh, one more thing I like is that Big Ma is wearing her green mumu dress. By Destinee O’Neal Stocking Elementary school 5th
My thoughts on one crazy summer in chapter 1 are that in the dialogue Delphine was telling us about how she and her sisters were freighting to get on the plane to go to Oakland California to see Cecile and find out why she left out on them when they were little and why did she move to Oakland California.
By: Darron Howard stocking elementary school 5th grade My favorite character is Big Pa because he wasn’t mad or sad about Delphine, Vanetta or Fern going to Oakland California to see Cecile and Delphine said that Big Pa was good at ignoring Big Ma.
I liked chapter 1 of One Crazy Summer because it had a little comedy in it, and it was a little confusing too. I like it. it also has lots of thoughts from the narrator/Delphine. I just can’t wait to read the next chapter! :-) My favorite character is big ma because she’s the funniest character, and she sounds like the sassiest character and the funkiest. And a moo-moo dress sounds kind of weird I think I’m going to like the rest of this book. By: Ian Miller from Stocking Elementary and Ms.Doughty’ s 5th grade
I think chapter 1 in the book One Crazy Summer is a really funny part of the story especially with Big Ma. It kind of gives the readers a hint of what the other chapters are going to be about. I also think about how in chapter 1 Delphine was feeling when she was on vacation to see Cecile and I want to find out why she moved to Oakland, California.

We are off to a great start on chapter one but I am really curious about Cecile, the mom, and why she left Pa. I don’t understand why she didn’t like caring for Fern and cares more about her job than her daughter’s. Also I am wondering if the mom is mean. By: Arely Sosa Rios Stocking Elementary 5th grade

I like the book One Crazy Summer because it is good and interesting to read. Two of my favorite characters in the book are Big Ma and Delphine. Big Ma is my favorite character because I think she is kind of mean, sassy and strict to Delphine and her sister’s. And, the reason that Delphine is my other favorite is because she acts like she’s an adult because she tells her sister’s what they have to do. Like when Fern could not tell time on her watch and Delphine could she told Fern what time it was and took her watch and put it in a bag. In the book One Crazy Summer Fern is kind of like Kristi in Number the Stars. By: Marissa Zuniga Stocking Elementary 5th Grade .
I think chapter one of One Crazy Summer is a good start. It makes the book interesting so I liked it. It’s also a story that might be based on a true story. Big Ma is a caring grandma and a caring mom. It’s kind of funny too because of Big Ma.

In chapter 1 they were going to see their mom in Oakland, California. Big Ma was mad that Pa let them go see their mom home in California. The girls thought they were going to go to Disney land. Pa gave the big sister $200 to put in her suitcase. But she put the money in her shoe before she left her street. By Sycoya Hawkins at Stocking Elementary 5th Grade
The reason I like chapter 1 is it is mysterious and funny. Big Ma is funny and sassy and loves her granddaughters. I love how the author used a lot of details. By Leslie Rodriguez Stocking Elementary 5th Grade
I enjoyed one crazy summer chapter 1 because of what is actually happening on that plane. The author added in comedy and dialogue. I like that there is a lot of characters so that it will be interesting to us the readers. I like what they were doing and what they were thinking at that time. She brought out all their traits and so that we could see them in our way of reading. She also picked just the right ones for everyone like for example the Big Ma sassy and bossy. Fern acts just like Kristi from Number the Stars. She’s childish, a little bossy, and fun. By: Druey Martin Lyon from Stocking Elementary 5th grade
