I decided to choose the book Finding Zasha. I basically chose this book because the cover was cool and that i love books about war. This book had a good start, better than the ones i past read. I am actually hooked and i hope that the book is good all the way throughout. The book started with the war coming to their town and they needed to leave asap or they were gonna be in the middle of everything. I am just to the point that they are getting ready to leave this town before the front-line advances.

DeleteMy book i chose is outpost by Ann Agurrie. I chose this book by reading the first one in the series and this is the second one in the series. So far the book is kinda slow going and not much is happing. The charachters left there undergrounf life in the last bood and there explaining there new life in a settlement above ground and about how they have to adapt to act like we do. So far its kinda intreaging on the things there doing after the sun goes down returning to there normal habbits.
ReplyDeleteso is this book in the outdoors and also is this a book where you have to guess what there explaining
DeleteThat kinda sucks that the book is going slow, hopefully it picks up as you read further on. This book does sound a little confusing to read.
Deletethis book does sound really confusing but hopefully it gets better so its not a boring read.
DeleteMy book is also kind of slow and there isn't make happening. Just the same old stuff going on.
DeleteAfter reading it i dont think i would like to read because i dont think it would intrest me that much
DeleteAre books sound the same nothing is really happening at the beginning of my book to they are just explaining all the characters.
Deletethis kind of sound like my book because the main character has to adapt tho his new environment
DeleteI picked the book old yeller. i picked this book because i have heard from some other people that it was a good book and movie so i wanted to read it and then when im done i plan on watching the movie to see if the book is any differnt. The process i went into to find the book was i asked some teachers about the books and they said it was a really good book and a great read for me. it started off talking about the dog and kind of explaining about what was going on and where the dog came from. so far i like this book because it is about a dog and in the outdoors
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie many times. The movie was great so i assume the book is also great too. The ending is insane.
DeleteI read that book before and it is a really good book. It keeps you interested the whole time and at some points you don't want to put the book down. It talks a lot about dogs and there lives. It is a really good book.
Deletei have read this book i liked the book and it really is a classic the ending is really good i really enjoyed this book.
DeleteI have seen the movie and have read the book> I think that the movie is better then the book.
DeleteSounds the same to how I picked my book to. You like to read about books with dogs and I like to read about books with football in it.
Deletemany say the book is better then the move so i bet it whoud be a great read
DeleteIt is a very compelling story with a tragic ending. I hope you like it.
DeleteI have read this book as well and I think it is a great pick for you. There is never a dull moment and it keeps you hooked all the time. I personally think that the book is better than the movie as well.
DeleteI have seen that movie and always wanted to read the book i just don't know if it's as good as the book.
Deletei have seen the movie and read the book but i think the book better because u read more about the dog and the life he is in then the movie.
DeleteSounds the same to how I picked my book to. You like to read about books with dogs and I like to read about books with football in it.
DeleteThe book that I chose is called The Dark Tower-The Gunslinger. i chose this book because i was told by a friend that Stephen King's books are really good. the specific reason i chose this book was because it was the first book of the series. so far this book is really good. it starts off with the gunslinger looking for a man in black. i dont know if im hooked yet but i feel like i will be if i keep reading the book.
ReplyDeleteIS the gun slinger looking for revenge or just to kill him as a contract
DeleteThat sounds interesting I might have to check it out.
Deletethat book sounds good it sounds like a book i might read at some point
DeleteI am reading The Hideout by Peg Kehret. I chose this books because i really like the author and I have not read this one yet. So far it is good, kind of unrealistic though. Jeremy lost his parents and has to move away to his uncles, but he does not want to. As he is on his way to his uncles, the train crashes. He was riding by himself and means he did not want to live with his uncle he thought he could run away and be on his own for a little bit. He ran into the woods then encountered a bear and had to get away, no he is on his journey back to where he crash was.
ReplyDeleteI have also read Peg Kehret books before but not this specific one. This one sounds like it will be an interesting read.
Deletei also things our books have something in common because theirs two ids with having problems in our books.
DeleteI think that our books have some stuff in common, both of our main characters have past with there family or family problems. Your book does sound really interesting but i agree with the fact of it being unrealistic.
DeleteI am reading the book Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz. I choose this book because it is about the Holocaust and i think that it is interesting. My initial thoughts of this book so far is that it is good and the details that are shared about the camps are horrid. I think i am hooked on this book because Gratz does a good job of keeping you on your toes. This book starts when Hitler is just started to invade Poland and Yaneks family lives in Poland and they are Jewish and there neighborhood gets turned into the Jewish ghetto.
ReplyDeletei read the book night and the jews went threw about the same thing and have you read the book night by Elie if you havent its a good book
DeleteI also am interested in the holocost and would probably be interested in this book.
DeleteI also read this book and I think it is a very good book and I'm also interested in the Holocaust.
DeleteI'm very interested in reading about the policies I loved reading night and day and this looks like it might be a great chose for me
DeleteI chose the book A Small White Scar. I chose the book because I like reading books about agriculture and rodeos. I have read other books about rodeos and bull riding and i wanted to read another book like that so i chose this book because it was about rodeos. I chose the book because it seemed interesting and like something i could relate to and enjoy. So far in the book i am really enjoying it, it isn't exactly what i thought it was going to be but it is still interesting. So far i am hooked to the book and want to continue reading.
ReplyDeleteis reading these kinds of books make you more wanting to go into something with agriculture? if so is there stuff you learn in the books?
Deleteyour book sounds interesting i like rodoes and pull writing. do you think any buddy will get hurt in the book?
DeleteI choose the book Harris And Me because the front cover look pretty interesting. I just seen the cover and picked it. No specific reason why i picked it besides the cover. It starts by the him going to a new family. It basically talks about the things they do all day.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this book and i have always wanted to read it. it seems like a really good book.
DeleteI read this book and it is one of my favorite books. I hope you enjoy the book.
Deletei have read this book it is a great book and a book i would maybe read again in my future
Deletei picked my book because of the cover it looked like kids in high school. and its new yorks number 1 bestseller
Deletemy new book is Fat Kid Rules the World i choose this book because ti looked interesting and i didn't really find anything else i wanted to read. the process i used to find this book was i looking around it caught my eye so i opened it up and read a few pages and decided to read it. The book starts off pretty good it does have a good hook and makes you want to keep reading to figure out more about the characters life.
ReplyDeleteI also chose my book because of the cover. It stood out and it looked interesting to read. My book also started pretty good and i hope that it stays that way.
DeleteI also chose my book because it caught my eye. My book makes me want to keep reading to hear what happens to the characters as well.
DeleteThe reason i picked my book is because it was the only one that was a different color so it kinda popped out as well
DeleteI like when books keep you hooked otherwise the book gets boring fast.
Deleteit sounds like a good book and i could relate to it. it seems like everyone is reading books about football and its cool to see different ones.
DeleteI chose the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I didn't know what I wanted to read and I saw it was on the book shelf in the classroom. I recognized the title and decided to give it a try. I thought it would be interesting to read being written almost two-hundred years ago. The book started in the point of view of a England man, Mr. Lockwood, going to visit his landlord Mr. Heathcliff. The Gothic language it is written in made it extremely hard to follow. Along with the constant introduction of new characters and old-fashion names, the beginning of the book was very confusing. I wouldn't say i am hooked but the book is getting a little easier to follow.
ReplyDeletei would agree the cover also brought me to the book and hearing good things on it.
DeleteI usually judge a book by its cover but the book i am reading now was judged on the summary on the back of the book.
DeleteThe new book i picked is This is the Day by Tim Tebow. I choose this book because my mom gave it to me as a Christmas present. It wasn't a hard book to pick because my mom wanted me to read it. I really like this book so far because its really motivational. i am hooked in the book because it is a fast read.
ReplyDeleteIm super hooked onto my book too. I just cant put my book down its so good
DeleteI chose to read the book "This is the Day" by Tim Tebow. I chose this book because i got it as a gift and i really enjoy the author. So far the book is really good and its all about motivation so its super hard to stop reading. The book opens up talking about how each day in your life is a very important day no matter what and how it is never to late for a change. Im very hooked on this book and cant wait to keep reading it.
ReplyDeleteim reading the same book i agree that its super motivational and it is really hard to put down
DeleteI got my book Helter Skelter as a gift as well, such a coincidence
Deletemy book is really good to. and a great football player tim is
DeleteI chose the book Wild Life by Cynthia Deflice. I chose this book because it was one of my choices for a ssr book back in 8th grade and it was checked out so i didn't get to read it. I found this book by looking around the library and i saw it sitting on the shelf. I chose this book because i was interested in it in 8th grade and didnt get to read it so i decided it was the one i wanted. so far i really like this book and it starts very fast and keeps me interested in it.
ReplyDeleteI chose the book Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi. I chose this book because my dad read this book in high school and I watched a movie that recreated the Sharon Tate murder. This book is starts off by the house keeping going to Sharon Tate's house and seeing everyone dead and full of blood. I cant wait to read on how the detectives found Manson and all of his followers and see how they got him to confess to everything hes done.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting book, maybe i will read it too.
Deleteyour book is huge i hope you like it bceasue thats alot of reading
Deletethat does sound like a good book and something that would get my attention
DeleteI am reading the book Football Champ. I choose this book cause it was a book about sports and football in general which is my favorite sport to watch. I was looking for a book about sports and this was the book that looked the most interesting so I picked this one. The was not really a reason why i chose this book all i was looking for was one about sports and football. The book is good so far they are still explaining all the characters and saying what they all do in the book. But yes so far i am really hooked into the book.
ReplyDeleteWould you still read this book if it was not about football.
Deletei have read football and sports book by this same author and i have enjoyed them all they were good reads and interesting
DeleteI am reading the same book. At what point did the author capture your interest?
DeleteI choose the book Wonder. i choose the book because of the title and a few friends told me about it and it seems good. the book so far has me hooked it is really interesting in the begging because it gives you so much information on him and what hes like. it also bring up how hes never been to school because he has things wrong with his face and his parents don't want him to get made fun of.
ReplyDeleteI've read this book before and it is a really good book and I think you will like it.
Deletei have read that book before and it was good and insprinational
DeleteI have never read the book but ive seen the movie and i agree it was very good. I chose my book the same way as you because i heard someone talk about it and they made it sound very good.
DeleteI have also read this book and I think this book shines a light on how much people talk bad about, give weird looks, or pick on people that look different. This book is definitely a huge eye opener to everyone in today's society.
DeleteThis is one of my favorite books and I think that you will love reading it. It has many life lessons throughout and I think that it makes you realize that your life is pretty good and that there are others out there that are going through a lot more. It makes you appreciate your life more.
Deletei also have read this book and i really liked it. it is very heart warming and makes you stay interested in the book.
DeleteI am reading the book The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron. I chose this book because my sister read it and said that it was really good and that I should read it. This book has a mystery from the very beginning and hooks you right away. It's about a girl named Nadia and she is the only one who can remember everything. Everyone has books that they have to write their truths in and those are there memories. Nadia is trying to find out why everyone forgets everything. A forgetting takes place every 12 years. There's a lot of family drama between Nadia and her sister.
ReplyDeleteI picked the book Old Yeller off the shelf on the right hand side of the room. Its the first book that i somewhat have heard of and it was a good size book to finish the year out so i thought i might as well read it and find out what i think of it. it starts out kinda showing the family they have its real small but they all relay on each other.
ReplyDeleteI picked my book the same way. i had heard about the book from a book talk and was interested in the concept of the book. Old Yeller is a very good classic book. Good choice.
Deleteive seen the movie and read this book. it is a very good book. there are some very sad parts though.
Deleteive seen the movie and read this book. it is a very good book. there are some very sad parts though.
DeleteIm reading the book stoner and spaz. Its about a drug addict and a kid with a disorder start being friends. The book shows the how there relationship develops and they both have challenges to face.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book Far From The Tree by Robin Benway and I chose this book because Mr. Meyer recommended it to me and i started reading it in his class and decided to stick with it and keep reading. At first when i started the book i thought it was really weird because every chapter is written by a different person but it also the first couple pages really pulled me into the book. This book jumps right into the story and then adds little pieces of each kids back ground when needed. I feel like i am definitely hooked because i hate reading and i find myself reading it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Boot camp. I picked this book because I seen someone reading the book in Individualized reading and I looked interesting. You start out with the main character Garrett in the back of a car. Garrett is hand cuffed and the driver is big and moody. It really pulled me in to the book because it was very suspicious. Then you get to the part were Garrett is at the boot camp and the way that rules apply is very interesting. You should give it a read because it is very easy to understand and because you can learn a thing or two in the book Boot Camp.
ReplyDeleteso my book is running loose I chose this book based on my experience with stotan! and base on the reviews of some classmates who have read the book previously, the book stares out slow just like stotan! so I am hoping it will pick up soon.
ReplyDeleteI have read this book it picks up after a while and there are a lot of ups and downs in the book but it is a pretty good book.
DeleteI read this book and i think it is on the top list of my favorite books. It definitely will pick up the pace.
DeleteThis is a great book and very shocking at how life can be. Hope you like it. Don't stop reading.
DeleteI am reading the book slaughter house five by kurt vonneut jr i choose this book because it sounded interesting from the summary. It is about a guy who was in the military during world war 2 and how he was captured and in a german town that got bombed. The book is kind of hard to follow because the main character jumps around in time and goes to different parts of his life.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very interesting. Do you think at any point you will get so hooked that you don't want to put the book down?
DeleteI am reading the book Football Champs. I chose it because it is about football, and football is one of my biggest passions. My process was to just look at football books and the title got me because it was simple. My book has some action right from the start. So my initial reaction was good. It starts with the main character Troy who is 12 telling the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons what play the Chicago Bears are running on offense. He knows what they are going to run because of their tendencies throughout the game. I am hooked because it gets interesting from page one.
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds interesting because i like football and it is interesting from page one
Deletei am reading the book snow bound i picked it because i like the snow your book sounds like a good book about football thats one of my favorite sports i am not to far into my book yet for that much info.
DeleteHow was this boy telling the head coach what the Bears were going to do? Was he on the field? The book sounds interesting because I find it weird that a kid is telling a coach what play is going to be done.
Delete
ReplyDeletethe book i chose was the Foxman by Gary Paulsen. i chose this book because i read one of his other books hatchet and i very much enjoyed it. also i like the outdoors and hunting so it was sure to grab my attention. so far its dry and is a slow but i would assume it will pick up. and it starts with carl being sent to his uncles farm and it explains the carls life.
I read many books by Gary Paulsen and he is a great author don't you think? He really make the setting so realistic. Let me know how it is because I haven't read the book and am thinking on reading it.
DeleteI am reading the book Monument 14. I chose this book because i remember someone giving a book talk on it and i was interested in it. I was immediately hooked on the book because the story starts off very fast. It is definitely a fast read because it draws you in and you never want to put it down.
ReplyDeleteMy book also has a good hook and its hard for me to put it down because there's so much action
Deletewhat is the biggest conflict in the book so far? why do you like the book so much? what are the best parts of the book?
Deletei also feel the same way with the book i'm reading because it started off so good in the beginning.
DeleteI am reading the book Kipling's Choice by Geert Spillebeen. I choose this book because the front of the book look different and the title also sounded interesting. My process was picking a random book off the shelf because i don't know any authors of books. So far its a pretty interesting book. John, who is the main character, is at war in Germany and his jaw is shot off. Hes laying on the ground and people come across him and rob everything from him. A am hooked because i want to find out what happens to him
ReplyDeleteSo does this book take place during WWI or WW2
DeleteIm reading The book My Brothers Shadow, by Monika Schroder. Iths about a late teenage boy from Germany during WW1. His older brother is in the service fighting and his father was but had died. His mother and older sister are against the war in any way possible and that gets them in a lot of trouble. I found this book because i went to the war books and found this one. The reason i picked it is because i really enjoy books like this and it kind of popped out to me. I think it starts perfectly and i am hooked in the book.
ReplyDeleteI think your book sounds quite interesting after i heard about it yesterday, what is your favorite part so far?
Deleteis he fighting for or against germany, and dose it talk about trench life? were there any major events thatt made him join the army or was he forced too?
DeleteMy book is also about a boy from WW1. Hes fighting in war and his group got ambushed. I also enjoy action books
Delete'how I found my book as well because the cover popped out to me on the self.
Deletewell i went to the library and i saw the book Allies by Alan Gratz and it looked really good especially it being about world war 2 and how i want to become a history teacher i was sold from the start. the book starts off with a German boy about to storm Omaha beach on D-Day so many years ago.he was enlisted into the army at a young age even though its illegal. i could already feel a connection with this character because of enlisting in the army and enjoying history in general. the book is even better than what i suspected and i cant wait for more. i wont spoil anymore of it so if it sounds good you'll have to read it for yourself. after im done with it of course.
ReplyDeleteYa I should of made you find a different book because my book kind of sucked and I had my hands on this one first. I also liked this author because he wrote many other world war 2 books that i liked.
DeleteI chose Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne because i thought the book looked interesting and i know a ton of people liked reading and thought i would too. I think i made a good choice because there aren't any slow parts the book has kept me entertained the whole time and i am almost half way through the book. The book includes alot of actions and ups and downs and the characters are very well rounded. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the book Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen. i chose this book because i read the book that comes before it and it was good. so far its a good book and it keeps me hooked.
ReplyDeleteim also reading a spinoff of hatchet. they seem like great books. how has yours been so far?
Deleteim also reading a spinoff of hatchet. they seem like great books. how has yours been so far?
DeleteI also enjoyed the first book of his series, how is it keeping you hooked.
DeleteI am reading the book Dirt Road Home by Watt Key. So far this book is about a kid named Hal who is currently in Juvie. He was just transferred from a different location to a new one. Hal tries to just keep to himself and stay out of trouble, but there are two gangs who keep threatening him pressuring him to join a side. I picked this book because Dyl pointed it out to me and it looked good so I decided to read it. So far this book keeps things interesting so I want to keep reading to see what happened.
ReplyDeletei am reading the book snow bound and he is just trying to get home too he get cought in a huge snow storm looking for his dog while he is looking for his dog he finds a family thats stuck in there house because of the snow.
Deletethe book i chose to read was Far From The Tree by Bobin Benway. i chose this book because i found it in Mr. Meyers room and just fell in love with it. the first couple chapters where kinda hard to get what was going on but after you get that every chapter is the perspective of each kid. there are three kids that all have the same mom and all get spit up and each chapter tells you have their life is and how they all are different. the book is so interesting that i cant stop reading it.
ReplyDeletei think its very interesting to learn about a kids life and just to hear there story's and its even more interesting if they came from the same mom.
DeleteI would agree with taylor that reading about each of the kid's perspective is interesting. It gives you more details about them and you'll get to learn more about the characters. I do wonder if all 3 would ever get together and meet their mom.
DeleteI chose to read the book Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. I chose it because I like other work the author has put out. I was instantly hooked on it and I am already a quarter of the way done with it. The book is about kids with genetically implanted wings that are trying to rescue one of their own that has been kidnapped by their creators. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good action fantasy book.
ReplyDeleteyour book sounds interesting i really like fantasy and i guess you reading about kids getting genetically implanted with wings sounds like a book that i would.
DeleteThis sounds like taylors book a little bit in the science that they are all kinda made up in lab to what someone wants them to be.
DeleteI chose the book brave new world i read this book in my freshman or sophomore year but didn't really finish or have ambition to finish it, so i took the time to remember what book we read and found it in what used to be ms. Horst room. This book starts off to be really interesting its about a society that makes there own humans and place them in there own group and only focus in what there group involves. The first couple chapters include the DHC or director of hatcheries teaching students all about what the facility and how all the humans are created from embryo to "adult" so far the book has been interesting and a fun red and i cant wait to see what all goes down in the upcoming chapters.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like movies i have seen before i like reading/watching science fiction things about this kind of thing it is interesting. what do you think will end up happening super powers maybe.
DeleteI remember what you said about your book during the group meeting and it did sounded interesting, although some parts that you mention were shocking like,wow, I can't believe they're making people this way and how they can also control their minds in some way.
DeleteSo i am reading Resilience A 911 Story By: Thomas Magee This book is a personal narrative about the experience this guy Thomas had helping clean up ground zero after 911. I chose this book because i went to New York for vacation and we went to the 911 museum and after we went through i found this book and bought it. my book started off extremely interesting there has not yet been a slow moment in my book. It is extremely eye opening to read what all these people went through and what the construction workers all went through cleaning it all up as well. I am hooked to this book because there are moments in there that are just so sad like one part they were torching steel and a body feel on a hot piece of metal and the bodies stomach stuck to the hot piece of metal and they pulled it off and it was like ripping a band aid the bodies guts spilled out of his stomach.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book A Dogs Journey by W. Bruce Cameron. I choose this book because I like dogs and the cover reminded me of my dog when she was a puppy. The process i used to find this book is i went to the librarian "what are good books about dogs" an she recommended this book. there really wasn't any specific reasons why i chose this other then the cover and it was recommended. My thoughts about the book are good so far its really interesting. It started off really good and made you start thinking right away and that's what got me hooked.
ReplyDeletei am reading thebook the river by gary paulsen. i chose this book because mrs b gave it to me and the cover looked neat. this book is a spinoff of hatchet. the book starts by brian robeson opening his door to 3 men wearing suits. the men asked them if he was the one who survived 45 days in the canadian wilderness after a plane crash. brian said yes. Brian thinks they might be from the press, but the men tell him they are from a government survival school and they want Brian to go back to the wilderness to help them learn how to teach survival. i am somewhat hooked now. i like stuff about outdoors. i think it will be a great book to read.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book, A Thousand Acres. I found and chose this book mostly because of the cover. There is a hay bale on it and that made me instantly think of a farm. I personally live on a farm and I love it so much. I then read the back cover and saw that it was even about a farm in Iowa. At that moment, I knew that it was going to be a great novel. I knew that I was going to be able to relate to it as well. As the book starts, they begin talking about how they all know the land and amount if acres that everyone around owns. They also talk about the different jobs that they are doing around and the field work too. Since I live on a farm, I am able to understand what is going on. I think that it would be kind of hard for someone who doesn't know anything about it to understand or even get into it. I hope the rest of the novel is just as good as the beginning.

ReplyDeletei chose the book one fat summer i chose this book because it looked like a interesting book and seemed like a book i would enjoy reading. so far i like the book it talks about some struggles of being fat and insecure because of it and especially in the summer when people are wearing swim suits and stuff
ReplyDeletei picked the book snow bound it looked like a really good book and i like the snow because i get to snowmobile right in the start they don't say much at all other then them getting stuck in the snow trying to find there dog that ran off. later on they find a family that was stuck in there house with all the snow so they helped them out.
ReplyDeleteBooks are the same cause you like to read a book about snowmobiles and i like to read about football.

Deletethe book iam reading is DIRT BIKE, DRONES AND OTHER WAYS TO FLY by Conrad Wesselhoeft.
ReplyDeletei chose this book because it had a dirt bike of the front of it. the process i went through was easy because it is a new book and it was sitting on top of a shelf and i seen it in the library. the specific reason i picked the book was the dirt bike on the front. this book started off really interesting and fun to read. they drove there bikes to school one day. iam hooked in this book and cant wait to read more!
My book is Captured by Alvin Townley, it is about a pilot who got shot down in North Vietnam and got captured. Jerry knows that he is safe under the Geneva Convention, but he was told otherwise. Since the United States did not declare war they could do what ever they wanted to do to him. I chose this book because it looked interesting. I choose this book by looking at the cover and reading a few lines in the book. I switched books because I did not read a few lines. The first book I got I hated so I got this one. I initially thought this book was better than the last, and now I am hooked because the guy gets shot down in Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteThe book that I chose is "Falling Leaves", it's a biography about Adeline Yen Mah who is the author of the book. Adeline's father is a wealthy man who re-married, when his 1st wife died after 2 weeks of giving birth to Adeline. Jeanne(stepmother) abuses the 4 kids that the husband had with his 1st wife and she manipulates them and her husband. The author also explains some Chinese cultural which is pretty interesting learning about. She also explains the wars and some history going on in China during her years, and how that effected the economy, and it's people. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this but after a few chapters in a was hooked.
ReplyDeleteI chose Among The Hidden, I chose it becasue i needed a book for this class. I didnt go through a process i just picked it. No specific reason just chose it. It starts out with a boy named luke that lives with his parents and two brothers luke has to hide his whole life from the government becasue they only allow 2 kids per family.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book Football Champ. I choose this book cause it was a book about sports and football in general which is my favorite sport to watch. I was looking for a book about sports and this was the book that looked the most interesting so I picked this one. The was not really a reason why i chose this book all i was looking for was one about sports and football. The book is good so far they are still explaining all the characters and saying what they all do in the book. But yes so far i am really hooked into the book.
