Rating:  Summary: Outstanding story, by an extraordinary author. Review: Avi's story of a young boy and his determination to save his dying father is one of the best books written for middle school age children I have ever read. I use this book with the students I teach and they are as touched by the story as I am. Highly recommended!

Rating:  Summary: worst book Review: I totally loved this book! I am a 12 year old girl, and I had to do a book report on a book, so I picked up this book. I thought it would be extreamly boring, but since I've finished reading it, I LOVE it! I especially love the ending!!! It is officially THE VERY BEST!
Rating:  Summary: The Barn Review: It's about a boy named Ben that lives on a farm, but he is at a privite school when his dad gets a disease. He has to go back to the farm and help his brother Harrison and his sister Nettie take care of their dad. Ben thinks that theres only one thing that will cure his dad's disease. If he does it he thinks it will help his dad regain health. My opinion about the book was I didn't like the book because it didn't explain about what is going on at his house or what is going on with his family. I liked it because it had a good story line and it had Ben trying and trying to helphis dad with his disease and he really believes that he can cure his dad.
Rating:  Summary: Courageous Charactors Review: The Barn is a heartwarming story about Ben, a 9 year old boy living in the 1800's who builds a barn with his 13 year old brother and 15 year old sister. Ben hopes the barn will help his father recover from a stroke. This is a timeless story about growing up and facing challenges in a courageous manner. Avi's style of writing is very simplistic and straight forward in this book.
Rating:  Summary: Barn Heart Review: THE BARN is a quick read novel, set in Oregon in l855. It is the story of how the construction of a simple barn, a dying father's wish, transforms the lives and bonding between three children and their father. Harrison, Nettie, and Ben, each had a different reason for agreeing to build the barn. The vision of the barn, standing strong on their farm property, remained a source of strength, satisfaction, love, and family pride throughout their lifetime. It was a true family gift.

Ben, the little boy has to take care of hhis very sick father.Ben and his family are determined to build a barn for his father...... like he had always had wanted. This book shows how one little thing can make such a big difference in someones life.... even if they are dying...............
Rating:  Summary: Very good, Outstanding Book! Review: The Book The Barn by AVI, is probably one of the best books I have read in my lifetime. I love the way Ben does everything he can to help save his father. The part about him using the stars as a compass, just to build a barn to try and save his fathers life, was great. This boy was risking everything he had, but had reason. His dad was very sick and all he wanted to do was save him. I love this book!
Rating:  Summary: worst book Review: The book was horrible to read. Anyone that said it was good must be related to the author. The characters had no development. It was boring, depressing, and disgusting to read about how these kids had to clean up their father after he went to the bathroom. I am telling you not to read this book.
