Goosed November 23, 2005
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Goosed by Bill Wallace takes place in present day life in the woods. is a story that can happen; it's a realistic story.
The main characters in Goosed are T.P, Jeff and Mocha. TP is Jeff's dog and he gets upset. When. Jeff takes in a puppy named Mocha. Mocha drives TP crazy with all his questions. Will Mocha stop bugging T.P?
My favorite part is when Mocha goes to live with Jeff and TP because it's funny when it makes TP crazy.
I recommend that 6th graders read this book. This is a good book because the puppy is cute and entertaining I give this book 4 stars.
Goosed Book Review November 23, 2005
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
In the story there is a dog named T.P. and a cat named Cord. One of Jeff's friends came over with a chocolate lab puppy and wanted to know if he could take care of her until Saturday. T.P. feels bad because Jeff only plays with the new puppy and not with T.P. Things go wrong when Jeff takes the puppy and says yes without his parent knowing.
The problem is that Jeff isn't playing with T.P. and T.P. gets jealous.
My favorite part is when T.P is trying to help Mocha from drowning by the goose. He is showing that he's a true friend.
I liked the book because the book was exciting it would be great book for anyone. If you were reading the book you wouldn't put it down.
I would give the book **** stars because the book is fabulous and who wouldn't like it. I also like this book because there are animals in it and I truly love animals.
Goosed November 23, 2005
The book I read was Goosed. The author is Bill Wallace and the number of pages is 125. The main character is a dog named T.P. and the setting is in the house and in the yard. I would give this book **** stars because it's not great, but good. I just love this book
There was a dog named T.P and a cat named Cord and they were Jeff's responsibility. When Jeff's friend/girlfriend asked him if she can drop of a chocolate lab puppy and pick it up on Saturday. He said yes with out his parent's permission. Now scenes the cat and dog know they hope that the puppy will be going away from them as soon as possible. But then T.P. gets used to the puppy and ends up trying to rescue her.
My favorite part was when T.P chased a deer and ending up getting into a fight with wolves. I like that part because you won't stop reading it until that part is over.
I like this book because it's exiting. It really gets me going so I can't put the book down. I also like this novel because it has animals in it and I really, really truly love them.
I would compare this book to a book called Fever Swamp. It is about these kids and they find a swamp. After the swamp they here howling out side their bedrooms. Just like Goosed, T.P notices howling too and then he finds the wolves.
Jonquil's Review November 21, 2005
Jonquil
By Bill Wallace
Genre: Fiction
Pages: 125
Age: 11
I read Goosed, by Bill Wallace and thought this book was really good. The main characters are T.P., the old dog that tells the story, Jeff, the owner of the dogs, Mocha, the new puppy, and Mandy, the innocent gift giver.
This book takes place in present day America, on a lake in the middle of nowhere.
Goosed is a story about how to learn to help each other, even when you are having a hard time liking each other.
T. P. is an older dog that has had Jeff to himself all his life. All of sudden, Mandy gave a puppy, named Mocha, to Jeff. This left T.P. mad and sad all at the same time because now Jeff is taking less care of him and spending all his time with Mocha. T.P. wondered what would happen to all the fun he used to have with Jeff when they went bird hunting. But now he finds out it is his job to teach Mocha how to bird hunt.
Together, T.P., Mocha, and Jeff began to bird hunt. One time, T.P. did know what kind of bird he was smelling, and with Mocha following closely behind, they were trying to sniff it out. When they were both surprised and thrown into a dangerous situation that would change their relationship forever.
My favorite part is at the end. Because I can't give the ending away, all I can say, is that I really liked how their lives change.
 Emily's review November 21, 2005
GOOSED by Bill Wallace
This story is a realistic fiction with a dog name T.P. (Toilet Paper) Jeff, mom, dad, and dog name Mocha. The setting is at Jeff's mom's house, the woods, and the lake.
I couldn't think of another book to connect Goosed to, because I have not read many fictional stories about animals. I tend to read non-fiction material. I think though that I may look for other adventures like this in the future.
One day, Jeff thought T.P. was the best dog ever. Then, the next day, a new puppy came to the house and T.P. had to share the love with the new pup. He did not like sharing, especially with a never-ending, question-asking puppy. T.P runs away and meets up with some unsavory creatures in the woods. But, unsuspectedly, Jeff saves T.P.'s life with out trying. Mandy, Jeff's friend who had dropped off the puppy, finally comes back from her vacation to get her. They go on a hike in the woods with their dogs (T.P. and Mocha). While they are gone, Mocha runs after a goose. She runs into the water to catch it. T.P. is scared for Mocha and faced with a decision.
My favorite part of Goosed is when T.P. goes back into his childhood and remembers how he got his name. The author shared a hysterical story, using unforgettable details, to paint a picture in my mind.
I would recommend this story to anyone who has animals, likes to laugh, and may have problems with siblings or friends where they need to learn to help each other.
