Nora has a big secret. The secret is that she's a genius! Nora learned to read in kindergarten, and could easily solve jigsaw puzzles when she was a baby! But Nora doesn't like people to make a big deal about her intelligence. So she tries not to show that she's a genius. When she takes the Connecticut Mastery Test, she purposely gets a few questions wrong so it'll seem like she's an average student. Another thing Nora dislikes is how her classmates make a big deal out of their test scores. Especially her friend Steven. So on 5 of the tests, she deliberately gets D's. When Nora's parents find out, they get angry and call the school. Then, Nora has to take an IQ test, and she accidentally reveals how smart she is. What will happen then? I like this book because it's exciting and also funny. I recommend this book to people who enjoy realistic fiction books.

Any book by Andrew Clements for kids is awesome, including this one. Nora is a genius, but she doesn't want anyone to know. People would make a big deal about it and she just didn't want it. Now she has made it to 5th grade without anyone knowing her secret. But then she makes the mistake of getting terrible grades on her report card, and then things start to unravel. Will Nora manage to keep her secret, or has she just let the cat out of the bag?
Nora has one very important secret in life that she keeps from everyone- She is a very smart genius. She shows herself as an average student with B's,C'S, and D's. But when people in her school start getting discouraged- she brings home a report card filled with D's to prove a point. Everyone launches a massive effort to see what is wrong- and Nora's plan flops- her genius side is exposed. But she and Stephen make another plan and together they teach us a very important lesson- grades do not matter; bad grades don't mean anything except a chance to improve. Clements teaches a valuable less to readers that they will remember forever in this sensational story.

The book I am reviewing is The Report Card by Andrew Clements. I would definitely recommend this book because it is exciting and very interesting. This book is about an eleven year old named Nora who pretended she was average but was really a genius. I would recommend this book to 4th-5th graders. There isn't much action but I really like this book.
This book was interesting to me because WHO wants bad grades?! She had some good cause for the Ds and the one C. But, this book was SUPER GOOD. I couldn't put it down. Trust me. Though, if I were Nora, I would've just done my best, and told the principal about everything. You get good grades to move on to the next grade, which means you can see your friends in your grade if they did good, too. You get good grades to make your parents or whoever you live with happy.
