Independent Reading - Checking in!

Books can really add a lot of joy to your life! I always like to have a good fiction book around...like a good friend. Lately, I have been reading a book called At the Water's Edge. This book is historical fiction, and it is for enjoyment. Historical fiction is based on historical events and people that are true but the story is fiction.  Books can be entertaining and POWERFUL!





What have you all been reading lately? How has the book entertained you? Please tell us about the book you are reading in 4 to 5 complete sentences.  Be sure to use the correct grammar and punctuation.

  11. The book I am reading is Jedi Academy Phantom Bully. Its about Roan on his last year at Jedi Academy. Cronah, the school bully is making his life the worst yet! Roan is training as hard as he can to prove that he is not the worst Jedi ever. I like this book because it has epic lightsaber duels in the end year assignment. {The end year assignment is trying to find your out of the labyrinth while trying not to get hit with a lightsaber}.

  15. I am reading a book called Dirt Diaries. It is a book about a girl named Rachel. Her dad moved to Florida and she spent $273 dollars on a plane ticket from her college money to visit her dad but she can't let her mom know. To pay back her college account, she cleans people's houses to earn money. She even cleans some of her enemy's houses, including the vice principal's house. She got an offer from a guy that she has a crush on to spy on a girl, her arch enemy, to earn $20 extra dollars. She keeps her cooking recipes in a diary and then she starts writing a lot of juicy secrets in the diary. I wonder what is going to happen next.

  17. I have just started a really good book called Listen Slowly. it's about a girl named Mai who's forced to go to Vietnam for summer instead of hanging out with her best friend on the beach. Both her parents are Vietnam and her father's mother is convinced that her husband (Mai's dad's father) is still alive and didn't die in the Vietnam War. Their family is traveling to Vietnam to meet a detective who is going to try to convince that Mai's grandfather is gone? BTW I was born in Hanoi where most of the story takes place!!!
