It’s the summer before grade six and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He’s recently moved from a big city to a small town and there’s nothing to do. It’s hot, he has no friends and the only kid around is his six-year-old brother, Sammy, who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop. Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from collecting ants to doing Calvin’s chores. And Sammy is all too eager – as long as it means getting a “Level” and moving one step closer to his brother’s Eagle status.
From Ant to Eagle
Written by Alex Lyttle.
Published in 2017 by Central Avenue.
This was a really good book, I am still reading it but it is so interesting. I love the mixed feelings like love,sadness,anger?, and happiness.This is the first book of the new 2019 nominees that I read/reading. there are a lot of details and that is probably one of the reasons I love it
I think that from ant to eagle is very sad and interesting. On the back it says that I killed my brother but he did not in my opinion.
I love this book! I love how the character has so many feelings and how you can relate and feel the emotions of the character.
this is one of my favorite books ever. it’s sad, happy, funny. It has a lot of emotions.
I think I read this book 100000000000000 times. I just couldn’t put it down! If you want to read this, you are in for a real treat
This book is easy to connect to, it is something that everyone can relate to. It is deep in a way that I can’t describe. This book is worthy of praise.
This is one of the books I refuse to return to my library, if you are planning to read this, READ IT
This book made me cry when Sammy died, BTW i also read this like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times because i just couldn’t put it down because it swirled all these feelings together.
It was amazing but I can’t say much without spoilling anything.
SPOILER ALART!!!
This is an amazing book, if you like drama and instant ups and downs.
The writer gives real life facts about cancer and the real names of it. This book taught me many things, like what an oncology team is and the different types of cancer.
I really recommend this book.
This book is great. I can’t stop reading it. I already read this book 4 times. This is the best book I have ever read, I wish I read this book earlier. Some parts are sad, happy, funny and way more, It has a lot of emotions. If you are planning to read this book you are a smart person. BTW this book is great.
It is an amazing book! It made me tear up a little but it was good tears. It’s probably my favorite book!
This is my favorite books from the R.M.B.A. This year, it was full of sweet heartfelt moments, bitter arguments and it really shows what a family goes through during tough times. I would definitely recommend this to book to anyone because I think everybody can relate to the story in some way or another.
10 / 5 awesome storyline Awesome everything I’d recommend this book to no one it’s too cool for anyone to know
but one thing I didn’t like about this book is Sammy died sad
Awesome book Awesome everything awesome storyline awesome awesome awesome awesome
I would rate this book 11 out of 10.
One thing I don’t like about this book is that Sammy dies.
The storyline is about a kid named Calvin and another kid (his brother) named Sammy. Sammy has to get to the level eagle. Eagle level is something that Sammy is really wanting to get and in the end he gets it.
I’m surprised you scrolled down this far
I would rate this book 10 out of 10 because it is a good book. I love all the characters and I AM sad that Sammy died. I love the words they used because they were good describing words and I love the book❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it is a very good book because it had very good storylines in it. I would recommend this story to my older sister because she might enjoy this book a lot. It is the very best thing I have ever listened to. I really liked the characters in the book.
I think this book sucked. The author made it too sad. I also cried when Sammy died. I would recommend this book back to the owner. It was interesting to listen to but I got very upset when Sammy died.
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 out of ten becuse it made me want to beome a better humanbeing it made me want to healp the sick.I got really atcht to the carichters it in poved my empathy a lot even for a extermly empathtick pesoen like me i loved it
I loved it i got really into the book it made me want to be a better person in life
I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 because it is an interesting book and I enjoyed it. Parts I found interesting about this book were that Sammy was always sick but he would try so hard to earn his next level badge, and Sammy had cancer and seizures and fevers, and Calvin got so mad and throw a rock at the window. I liked Sammy the most because he was funny and Calvin would have to explain everything to him. I would like to know what happens next.
I loved it so so much, I would have liked to know what happened to Oliver in the end.
I want to know what caused Sammy`s cancer.
I loved this book, even though it was kind of sad.
I’m not finished this book yet but I’m really close to finishing it, and so far it’s a great book. It was really sad when Calvin found out that Sammy had Cancer and he was blaming himself for Sammy’s death. I personally don’t think Calvin killed Sammy because I don’t think Sammy got sick because Calvin wasn’t playing with him, and just hinging out with Aleta. If that was the reason why Sammy got sick then I still don’t think it was Calvin’s fault, because if he would have known he wouldn’t always just hang out with Aleta, he would probably spend some time with his brother Sammy.
The ending was really sad because Sammy ended up passing way and I thought that was really hard for Calvin to adjust to and Sammy’s parents to. Now that I think back about it I can feel how hard it would be for Calvin to live without a brother. I learned how important it is to hang out with your brother and to be nice to him because some people lose their brothers because of this, and now you know how fortunate it is to have a brother. I highly recommend this because it teaches you how fortunate you are to have siblings, and how you should love them. If I were to rate this book out of ten I would rate it probably 10\10.
I didn’t really enjoy From Ant to Eagle because its a more slower paced book than I anticipated. If you like books that are slower paced and have lots of deep meaning and emotions than I 100% recommend reading it.
I like this book because of Sammy. He was my favorite character. I don’t like Calvin because he got sick and because Sammy had cancer, he caught pneumonia. Calvin killed Sammy when Calvin got sick.
I would rate this book 99 out of 100 because of Sammy dying
My favorite part was when they talk about goosebumps.
I would rate this book 5/5. I thought this book was great but it was kind of sad because of Sammy dying of cancer, getting really sick and not being able to breathe himself. It really wasn’t Calvin’s fault when Sammy died and I wonder what will happen to Oliver in the future
Great book for people who like sad books and happy. There are a lot of plot twists. Very good book. I would this book four out of five stars just because Sammy died of cancer and pneumonia.
I would rate this book 4/5 because it was a little sad and that is the only reason why it is not a 5. Also, there are mixed emotions because at the beginning it is happy and funny and then at the end it is sad.
I would rate this book 5 out of 5 because of all the emotional rollercoasters. There were lots of surprises. I also think the book was really sad because Sammy had a type of cancer called leukemia and ended up dying because of it. I also had mixed emotions at the beginning because they just moved to Huxbury and Sammy’s older brother Calvin ended up falling in love. Who did he fall in love with? Her name is Aleta. They ended up becoming friends though. They had a secret spot that they only knew about by a forest and a beautiful lake.
I think that “From Ant to Eagle” is a great book, even if it is sad. The book teaches people how to deal with cancer and how to get over someone suffering injury, or even death. If you like fact, drama, and adventure, “From Ant to Eagle” is the book for you.
I am reading your book From Ant to Eagle. So far the book is very intriguing I can’t put the book down. When I first got the book I Hopped onto the couch and started reading. After 5 minutes I took the book to my room and my mom took it right out of my hands. I had school the next day as soon as I got up, I grabbed the book and shoved it in my backpack so I could read it on the bus.
“From Ant to Eagle is a great book, even if it is sad. It teaches people how to deal with someone suffering serious injury, or even death because of cancer. If you like fact, drama, and adventure, “From Ant to Eagle is the book for you.
This book is AMAZING! It has lots of facts and emotions. When their has a lot of emotions it can really make the book interesting. The book has a very interesting topic but Cal thinks he killed his brother but I disagree. I think he didn’t. Anyways All I am trying to say is that you should read this book. It is perfect, at least to me it is. I am sorry if I spoiled the book a little!
I really liked this book because it shows how life is not always easy. It tells you life isn’t perfect. It tells you there is always challenges to get through.
this book was so touching and heartwarming at the same time. the book made me tear up near the end while Sammy was at the hospital and was about to pass away… this book showed how real life works and how people go through ups and downs,, i just love it over all!! 1000/10
