The title of the book I’m writing about is The Wainscott Weasel by Tor Seidler and Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. The main character’s name is Bagley Brown. The book is mainly about  Bagley in love with a fish name Bridget. And every day Bagley would go to the pond where she lives and give dead bugs to her. Also, Bagley had a father but he was swooped up from the ground from a hawk. Then that same night Bagley’s mom fainted because she was so sad she couldn’t believe what happened so she died.

Bagley’s friend gets married and Zeke the man who’s getting engaged  asks Bagley to be his best weasel (best man). Bagley tries to get rid of the ospreys nest next to the pond so bridget won’t get eaten by it, because Bagley has feeling for her. The setting in the book is in several places such as the pond and the pine needles. The setting is at the pond because Bagley gives Bridget the dead bugs. Also it takes place on the pine needles because Wendy the girl who is getting married to Zeke dance there with  other weasels. The way they have music when they dance  is by the birds that chirp for them. A part in this book that is interesting to me would be when Bagley goes to the pond and sees this fish jumping in the air and into the water. I liked this part because Bagley falls in love with the fish and weasels are supposed to eat fish. The fish finally talks to him and tells him her name. Another part in the book that is interesting to me would be when Bagley climbs up to the telephone pole where the ospreys nest is and tries to get it down, and has lots of attempts. Three adjectives I would describe Bagley would be strong, nice, and caring. He’s strong because Zeke’s brothers were trying to get the invitation Bagley had. The way Zeke tried to get the invitation, he chose to beat Bagley up, so Bagley would give Zeke the invitation .Bagley is nice because he just gave the invitation that Zeke wanted so badly. Also Bagley is caring because he climbed up a telephone pole in the middle of the day to move the ospreys nest so Bridget the fish won’t get eaten.

 

I loved this book because it has animals in it, also I like weasels a lot. I also loved the book because it has love in it and caring for each other. Also I liked the style the author wrote the book because it was fun. Because  the author would use cliffhangers and you wouldn’t know what is going to happen and I love that feeling. I would recommend this book because it has lots of example of friendship and relying on each other. Also the book  has animals such as weasels ,frogs, and birds. The book reminds me of this movie called Milo and Otis because it has friendship and relying and finding each other and it’s like this book. A rating I would give this book would be 1,000 stars because I absolutely loved the book.
