The loyalty is clearly shown in all 3 of these books.


 * 1) Rules Of the Road: Jenna Boller takes up a summer job of being her boss' "driver". Her boss( an elderly woman named Madeline Gladstone) is being forced out of her job by her own son. Mrs. Gladstone owns a shoe company and the only way she can keep her job is to have Jenna drive her all the way from Chicago, Illinois to Dallas, Texas. In this story Jenna drives Mrs. Gladstone to Texas, instead of hanging out with her best friends. Joan Bauer delivers a book that keeps you reading page after page after page. This book the 1st of three shows a great example of loyalty.

2. The Big Field: Hutch Hutchinson plays for his local competitive baseball team. He is set apart from his dad and his teamate Darryl. Hutch was always a shortstop like his dad, but Hutch was at second behind Darryl who was supposed to be the best out of his state since A-Rod. He faces difficult times with his dad, but still tries to help his team win a state championship. Through the tourny he gets in fight with Darryl, but he smooths out everything and notices how lucky he is to have a dad while Darryl doesn't. Mike Lupica writes his award-winning book, while writing sports articles(his regular job).This book shows how to get through tough times, but not let it effect anything showing great loyalty.

3. Charlotte's web: Wilbur the pig, the runt of the litter is going to be killed while a piglet. Fern, a little girl in the family, takes Wilbur into her own hands and raises Wilbur on a bottle. Wilbur is then sold to her aunt and uncle- the Zuckermans. While at the Zuckermans, Wilbur hears that he is going to be killed for meat. His new friend, Charlotte the spider, helps him by spinning the words SOME PIG into her web. This attracts a lot of attention, but not enough to save Wilbur. Charlotte tries again by spelling out "TERRIFIC" in her web, the same thing happened. Then Charlotte typed " RADIANT" into her web. This attracted so much people, the Zuckermans took Wilbur to the fair. Wilbur won a prize, and came back to his stall to find "HUMBLE" written across the top of the stall. Charlotte was standing beside waving and smiling.This garanteed Wilbur's survival, but Charlotte wasn't there for the rest of Wilbur's life, she died just two days later after laying her eggsack. This story won a Newberry Honor award and won many other prizes.
