Effective conclusions

The last book I read was "Class A". This book had a effective conclusion. Cause he killed some one and in this campus he belonged to called cherub. You were not a loud to kill people.

zenen's ineffective conclusion

The last book i read was called mad dogs, i thought that this lead was ineffective because that it answered too many of the questions and was too specific witch gave me no room for imagination.

Dani's Efective Conclusion

The last novel I read was "Jatta" by Jenny Hale. The conclusion was an effective one because it was interesting and made sense. By that I mean, it did not just suddenly drop off and the book ended; it was following a path towards the end throughout the chapters. At the end of the book I wanted to know if there was another book by the author or in the series. Another thing that the conclusion had was growth of the character in her emotions, her ability, and herself. These and other aspects are what makes a good conclusion to me.

Last book I read

My book was: Dragon ball Z (comic). even though I still know what happens at the end the book still left me in suspense.

It also left me wanting more and worthwhile and as it went along it made sense.

And it left me with question's like

"Is he ever going to return" or "When will that happen." It was a really good book just to tell you

Eleane's Effective/Ineffective Conclusion.

The last book that I read, "The Series of Unfortunate Events #13" had an effective conclusion because it left a suspense that needed to be there. The conclusion also left a good moral.

Yaakov's Effective Conclusions

The last book I read was "Point Blanc". This book had a good conclusion because even though the last sentence was suckish, the few paragraphs were full of intense excitement.

Effective Conclusion

The last book I read was "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick. The conclusion was effective because it was really touching and you could really feel Max's pain. It also shows growth in the characters, for example Max used to think he had no brain, now he's a lot more confident in himself and believes he can go on without Freak. At the end of the book, Max says he will write a book of all the adventures of Freak the Mighty, and that is the book that the reader just read. He also says "Now that I wrote a book, maybe I will read a few."I think that shows a lot of growth in the character and also, it shows that he learnt how to speak up and really try. It was a really good time to end the book, and it really lead me to the exit.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusion

The last book I read was Eclipse. The conclusion was effective because it left you hanging but not really it was gliding you to the exit softly and sweetly. But you still have questions like “How will Charlie and Renee act when Bella tells them?” or “What’s going to happen to Bella and Jacob relationship?” the conclusion was really good and glided you to the next book well.

Effective/ Ineffective Conclusions

The last novel I read was Brisingr. I thought that the conclusion was very effective because it ties all the events of the whole series together very nicely. I really like it when authors leave you hanging and thinking What's going to happen next? and then everything is explained in the next book. I know from talking with friends, that many people DO NOT like it when the author leaves you hanging, because they just want to figure out [for example] "Who killed that man?" and they just want to find out in that book. It was also a good conclusion because it really gave the characters perspective of the situation (which I like).

Wanting Mor Gabi

I read this book a while ago but I still remember it because I loved the way I was written and the way it ended intrigued me even more. It is unfortunate that there is no sequel because if there was i would definitely read it.

Conclusion

The last book that I read had an effective conclusion. The name of the book was "Miss Popularity" by Francesco Sedita. The girl in the book was popular at her old school and when she went to her new one it was hard for her to make friends. She did this by organizing a huge fashion show to raise money for a charity. She hoped it would also help her make friends.

I thought the conclusion was effective because it made sense. It was interesting and tied it all together with a happy ending. It also showed growth when the people who were mean to her were very nice at the end.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusions By Noga

The last book I read was "The actual total truth, by Karen Rivers" it was a good conclution because everything in the book just went into the past.Then theres a new begining. Also a good conclution is when thers a big question that makes the reader want to read more. For example: "I tried my best right?" or "Will he survive?".

I THINK THATS A GOOD CONCLUSION!

Effective/Ineffective Conclusions By Josha

The last novel I read was Starclimber. The conclusion was very effective because it left me with some questions but I felt they were better left unanswered. I felt like it had been a very fulfilling book when I finished it.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusions

The last novel I read was "The King in the Window-by Adam Gopnik" the conclusion was effective because after such an extraordinary story the conclusion tied everything well together. The story was so intriguing and captivating that you wished it would end clearly, answering some the questions that you must have asked yourself while reading and explain the slightly confusing parts. But of course it doesn't give away too much, or else your imagination couldn't possibly take over.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusion by Leor

The last novel I read was We All Fall Down. The conclusion was effective because it leaves you with questions that you feel are better unanswered like "what will happen to Will?" and "What happens to the firemen?". I also felt like it was worthwhile reading it and it made sense. It was also very interesting and ties everything together so it can lead the reader to the exit, when Will finds his dad and Ting and then goes to the hospital to take care of his wounds. It gave just enough away so that it will leave the reader wanting more because when Will finds his father and they leave the building together with Ting and go to the hospital you want to know what will happen to the fireman and policeman who have just entered the building.

Liam's effective conclusions

The last novel I read was Found. The conclusion was effective because it left me personally wanting more, and when I finished the book it made me think.

The novel was thoughtful, and at the end it left me hanging with a mystery (in a good way).

It gave just enough information away so you could read the second book in the series without knowing so much information. I can't wait to start the next book!

Thought's on an Effective Conclusion

The last novel I read was The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan.
The conclusion was kind of effective and kind of ineffective. The reason it was ineffective was because it left me with the feeling of “But it’s not finished, what’s going to happen next?” The reason it was effective was because even though I felt that way, I still felt like there wasn’t really anything else the author could have written. It left me with an unfinished feeling that didn’t need finishing!

This book is available in the classroom library, the public library, Kidsbooks, and other bookstores.

The last novel that I read was keeping the moon by sarah dessen.
The conclusion was effective because it left me with just enough information but didn't leave me hanging. The conclusion wasn't rushed, the ending was perfect because it really tied together and made tons of sense and wasn't confusing. The conclusion left me with one or two questions like what happens when she comes back to her mom? but those are the kind of questions you want to have for you to keep on wondering.

The Last Book I read.

On of the most recent books I read was "The White Giraffe" By Lauren St. John. It's conclusion was effective because it sums up the book. It also tells why Martine gioot the prophecy and that it would do her good anad bad in future situations. It was worth while, intersting, and left me with questions that would be better unanswered.

Effective/Ineffective Conclusion by Izzy

The last novel I read is Audrey Wait. The conclusion was effective because it tied everything together, left me wanting more, stuck in my head, and left me imagining the whole story as if it was movie. The only thing I didn't like about the conclusion is that it was a little predictable.

The General

The last novel I read was "The General." The conclusion was just okay because it bored me and was all dialogue between two people. On the other side it was a really good time to end the story.

effective/ineffective conclusions

The last novel I read was schooled. The conclusion was ineffective because it left me hanging and it was confusing. But it was also effective because it left you in suspense and you want to know how Capricorn Anderson lives the rest of his life.

The last book I read was...

The last book I read was "The Lemonade War" It was effective because it told me just enough. It didn't run on. It left me asking a few questions but I think that made it better. It definitely lead me the exit.

Effective conclusion

The last novel I read was called “So B. It,” by Sarah Weeks. It was an effective conclusion because it led me to the exit. All the clues were finally coming together for Heidi she could now live her life knowing the past and present, but then her mom died. Although that is sad, it left me with questions, ideas and mental pictures in my head telling me what’s going to happen next! On the other hand Heidi finally gets to live a some-what ‘normal’ life knowing about her past witch made me happy, and that really tied the story together. This narrative was coming to an end, but starting a new beginning.

Effective/InEffective

The conclusion to the book I read, Canterwood Crest: Little White Lies was effective because it showed how the main character became smarter about her decisions. It made sense because I could really see it happening. It left me with questions, and it made me want to read the next book in that series.

Adi's Explanation About an Effective Conclusion

The last book I read was Elsewhere by: Gabrielle Zevin.
This book had an effective conclusion because it was happy, sad, predictable, worth while, gave just enough away, thoughtful, made sense, and leaves you with a question.
It was all this stuff together which made an excellent ending.
It gave just enough information, if it would have given a little bit more information, this story would lead to another story.

THE END

- Adi

The last book I read was CHERUB: Maximum Security. It had an effective conclusion because after the end of the actual story, it tells you what happens to the characters that were only in that book in a little log. It doesn't say what happens with the characters that will be in the next book so you think about it.

So B. It

Title: So B. It

Author: Sarah Weeks

Short description: Heidi doesn’t know anything about her past, in fact, the only thing she knows about the present, is that Bernie (the lady who lives in the apartment beside her) is taking care of her, and the fact that her mentally disabled mother can only speak 23 words. There is one special word in her mother’s vocabulary, “Soof.” Heidi can’t stop thinking about “Soof”. The only thing that she can do to find out the truth about her past and that word is by going on a cross-country journey. The one problem that she has is that Bernie has to take care of mama. That means 12- year old Heidi is going alone...

Recommend: I’d recommend this book to people who enjoy realistic fiction and adventure. This book is great for girls and boys. The reading level is not to difficult and the book is not to long. If you do not like adventure or realistic fiction i don’t think this is the book for you.

Where can you find this book?

So B. It can be found at chapters indigo and kids books.
