Representaion Concering Books Stand Tall

Tree, whose name is actually Sam, is the tallest 7th grader in his class. Actually he's the tallest person in his entire school and he just seems to keep growing. While dealing with his parents' recent divorce, Tree works with his grandfather--helping him with his rehabilitation after having his leg amputated due to an injury he sustained in Vietnam. When Sophie, the strange new girl at school stands up to some popular girls, Tree realizes that he has to stand up for himself too, at home, at school and on the basketball team.

Caught in the middle of his parents' epic battle while struggling to deal with his own freakish abnormality, Tree draws strength and courage from his grandfather, his new friend Sohpie and even his aging dog Bradley. When catastrophe strikes his hometown, Tree might be the only one big enough to make a difference.

I have mixed feelings about this one. I loved Tree and his heart was even bigger than his height. I loved the discussion of his parents' attempts to provide a "normal" life for Tree despite their divorce and I loved Tree's relationship with his grandfather and the infinite wisdom his grandfather frequently shared with him. Also, Stand Tall has several quotable passages and Tree's school report on his grandfather is beautiful. However, the third person omniscent point of view threw the story off and made it hard to connect with Tree. Some of the symbolism goes a touch too far but that's a Jan Bauer specialty and from a teaching standpoint this is probably a positive for young adult readers. Since the perspective is primarily male, this would be a great read for both male and female young adults.

Again Joan Bauer gives us a character who is kind, responsible, caring and kind of stands out among his peers. At over 6 feet tall at 12 years old, Tree can't hide. Dealing with his parents recent divorce, his grandfather's Vietnam War wounds, older brothers he can't live up to even though he towers over them and a strange new girl who takes an interest in him, Tree is very busy. Advice from his kindhearted grandfather keeps Tree going through all the turmoil around him. I love how Joan Bauer

My favorite sad-happy book writer Joan Bauer knows how to draw the reader into the life of a regular young person and teach such important life lessons. Stand Tall is not at the top of my list of Bauer winners, but it is well worth the time to read. Sam, known as Tree by absolutely everyone, is pretty ordinary in most ways: 7th grade, has a few friends, is searching for that something hes really good at, lives with his dad and grandfather 1/2 the time and his mom the other half...normal middle

"Cats are good at keeping old dogs alive.Loss helps you reach for gain.Death helps you celebrate life.War helps you work for peace.A flood makes you glad you're still standing.And a tall boy can stop the wind so a candle of hope can burn bright."These were the last, inspirational lines of this book. This book had way too many fragments, too many simple sentences, and not enough substantial content. It had a great moral, though. It's an okay option for a quick, one night read.

Ever had a big change in your life due to divorce? I read the book Stand Tall by Joan Bauer. This book is a realistic fiction book about a tall 7th grader called Tree. He was living with his father and grandpa after a hard divorce. His brother Larry and Curtis would sometimes visit from college. Other than that he lives a normal life. He goes to middle school, has friends, and lives in a decent house. There are two types of conflict when Tree fights with himself trying to see if he wants to do

Not a bad book of you are looking for a simple, quick read with some heart. The story itself what a good YA moral story, but the writing could have used a little work. Not a bad book, and not a bad read, just too simple for my taste.
