On My Honor: A Newbery Honor Award Winner

Description:

Newbery Honor Book. “A gripping, compassionate portrayal of a boy’s struggle with conscience” (Kirkus) by bestselling author Marion Dane Bauer.

While on a bike trip, Joel’s best friend Tony drowns while they are swimming in the forbidden, treacherous Vermilion River. Joel is terrified at having to tell of his disobedience and overwhelmed by his feelings of guilt, even though the daring act was Tony’s idea, and Joel didn’t know that Tony couldn’t swim. But Joel’s loving and protective father will help him deal with the tragic aftermath—and understand that we all must live with the choices we make.  

“A powerful, soul-stirring novel told simply and well.” —Booklist (starred review)

“This is a devastating but beautifully written story of a boy’s all-consuming guilt over the role he plays in the death of his best friend. Bauer’s honest and gripping novel joins the ranks of such as Katherine Paterson’s Bridge to Terabithia in its handling of these issues.” —Publishers Weekly

“Descriptions are vivid, characterization and dialogue natural, and the style taut but unforced. A powerful, moving book.” —School Library Journal

A heart wrenching story of a childhood tragedy. A tragedy that impacts, forever, the lives of two families. Joel will never forgive himself over the loss of his friend. I watched a childhood friend get hit and killed by a car 70 years ago. That image is still vivid in my memory.This may be a children’s book but there is a deep message concerning unintentional consequences.I think it gave my grandson a deeper understandingly of what it means to give your word, On Your Honor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps to Teach the principle of "Making Your Word Yes Mean Yes"

M.R. · November 13, 2014

This was a book which taught a powerful lesson of what our honor means. Although my son is 14 years old, he and I enjoy being read to and it was my turn to read to him. He asked I read this every night until we finished it. It was a quick read and opened a meaningful discussion of not only the power of words but the consequences of keeping or not keeping our word. Since reading this book, every now and then when he promises me something, he'll look over at me with a sly smile and say "On My Honor" and I know it means something. This was a very good book, somewhat predictable but yet gripping.

Bolo was definitely fast on delivery and the price was right. My kid needed it for school.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to deal with fear.

O.M. · September 28, 2015

Kindle book purchased to re-read for class. Glad it was available since test and work needed the book to be finished. This book was for class but I think it helped my son understand fear a little better and how everyone has fears and needs to learn coping skills.

K.C. · July 9, 2013

This book was a suggested reading for my 11 yr old Granddaughter who will be starting Middle School this fall. So I read it first and I thought it was excellent. It is about taking a stand for what is right, not giving in to pressure from your peers to do something you know is wrong. It was a little sad because of the choice one boy made. Jennifer read it and she like it and she doesn't like to read. If you have a child 9 and above, I recommend this book as one to read and discuss.

After a receiving a poor conduct report about my 11 year old son, I bought this book to reinforce good character. He enjoyed the book and we had a great conversation about the importance of having good character and being honest.

子供向けと侮るなかれ

ぱ. · June 7, 2003

少年二人のある夏の物語を描いた子供向け作品ですが、大人が読んでも十分なすばらしい作品です。ページをめくると次々に頭の中にシーンが浮かんでくるような感覚を覚えました。テーマも考えされられるものです。英語は簡単で、ページ数も少ないので初めて洋書にチャレンジされる方にもお勧めです。
