Okay! Hands up! Which one of you invented summer reading?
I have read 6 of the 15 books! I only needed to read 3! Below is a small paragraph about each.
The required book:
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen:
Hatchet is a book about a boy named Brian. Brian is on his way to see his dad in Canada when the plane crashes in oil fields on the edge of a lake. Brian learns to survive in the wilderness.
ICK. Gary Paulsen repeats EVERYTHING!
"Fun" books:
Tangerine by Edward Bloor :
Paul Fisher is a boy wearing glasses. The book is about how he can still do fun things like soccer with glasses.
Wow! Didn't know it could be so interesting!
The Girl who Owned a City by O.T. Nelson:
This was a good book. The plot was fantastic. Lisa and her brother Todd are living in the future where all the people 12+ have died. The kids have to scavenge through the month by believing in themselves.
Seeing the Blue Between by Paul B. Jeneczko:
Just finished the book. There are many different poets in the book. The intros were boring once and a while, though. My favorite Author was Kristine O'Connell George.
Heart to Heart : New poem Inspired by 20th Century Art by Jan Greenburg:
This book was noooooooooot my cup of tea. This book didn't work with the art related poetry. Not for me, at least. There's not anything else to say.
Game Face : What does a female athlete look like by Jane Gottesman:
This was very well put together. The actual book was about women athletes who lived in the 1960's who put there own stories about growing up with only boy sports, and what they did about it! Plus, there were pictures between each entry.
Thanks for reading!
