This book was a very good book the author used great vocabulary and it was very descriptive I think that anyone can love this book especially a fly lover or just a bug lover. You will be able to see the characters and settings in your head because it is so descriptive it’s like your in the book it is a mix of adventure a little bit of drama and a little bit of humor. When I start reading it I just can’t stop literally,the author used a perfect font even though theres a lot of chapters I still loved reading it I never got bored.
I thought it was ok but i did like at the end of the book to give the some of his flies to Grinny and her brother and sister
I thought it was ok but i did like at the end of the book to give the some of his flies to Grinny and her brother and sister. But one thing i didn’t like was Grinny she was always mean to will.
It was ok but why was Grinny so mean and harsh to will but not her brother and sister yeah so maybe you want make her nicer
It was a really good book. I liked it because Will was really kind and friendly.
It was an amazing story of a child who lost his mother and sister because of the flies. His name is Will and he lived in England and came to Canada to meet his uncle.
When he comes to his new school, he found a competition on catching flies ,but when he is catching flies, he found a cheater in catching flies. It makes me want to read
until the very end.
awesome book but kind off sad that’s what made it amazing though
I thought that it was very heartbreaking when I learned that Will’s mom and sister died because of the fly’s. I also thought that it was sad they were really poor. I really loved this book!
I think it is very good because Williams urge to win is higher than ever. How his classmate is cheating and how Will is still fighting back is also very exciting. Although the book doesn’t have attracting problems, the background action just makes me want to continue reading till the end of the book.
I think it is a good book because it had lots of twists and turns
