It's a novel in verse, but don't let that put you off: short and very readable, with great discussion topics it's about being different, being brave, and being a true friend.
‘I enjoyed it. It
told you about how things can easily change. I would recommend this book to a
friend if they like short books. And they like poetry’
‘It was about a
boy who was a bully and he wrote a poem about a boy he bullied. I enjoyed it
because it was written in the way of a poem. It was very good’
‘I enjoyed it
because I like that it’s made up of poems’
‘I enjoyed it
because it was funny’
‘I enjoyed it
because it is very dramatic. It was about a kid called Sam who was forced to
play with Davey. Davey has a very good imagination.’
‘I liked it
because of the drama’
We wrote a poem together, one line each, inspired by reading Cloud Busting. Here it is:
50 per cent of life is all right
30 per cent is rubbish
Twenty percent is really great
Isn't life ...
An ice cream with a cherry on top
A cake with a scoop of ice cream
A big tub of Ben and Jerry's with big chocolate chunks
A rubber band ready to be
Pulled back and flung
A bar of chocolate covered in fudge
A never ending dream
Fast paced just like Paris
Life has nothing to do with spinach
Life is like junk food
Like kids resting under the sky cloud busting
I don't know what life is
A bread stick
Whizzing down the hillside feet off pedals
Climbing to the tallest branch of your favourite tree
and looking down at the tiny world below
A jigsaw ready to be solved
A button ready to be sewn
A mystery wherever you go
A goal ready to be scored
A water park with all the scariest rides
A fish ready to be caught
A baby in a silk dress
