Okay for Now

This book is about a boy whose family is kind of a mess. To start off, the oldest brother is currently  fighting on the front line of the Vietnam War. The middle brother just got convicted for a bank robbery, and the dad is a lunatic who just made his family move into a really crummy house in Marysville, New York. His father made them move because of a new job that was supposed to make tons of money "that really does not". Marysville is about the most boring town ever and now Doug has to live in it. The only thing that is nice is a library. Fun fact: Doug has never even been inside of a library. So far I am really enjoying this book.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull 1

by Richard Bach 

         This week I read a pretty bad book. The writing in the book was not so bad. But it was the plot that made it so bad. I also could not relate to the main character, ( the seagull). In the Future I would  recommend this book to anyone. This book was about a seagull whos name is Jonathan. The book is written through his perspective. It talks about some of things going on in Jonathan life. ( Very Boring). Overall I did not like this book.

Boy in the Stripped Pajamas   (2) 
 by John Boyne
       This week I finished a great book. The book is about a young boy who lives in Germany during the Holocaust.  The boy who's name is Bruno meets another young boy who is in a concentration camp. This is the story of their friendship and what it is like to live in Nazi Germany. This book changed completely for me. It was super sad. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good sad story. The plot of the story was great but super sad. I got really connected  to the characters during the whole book so the ending was super sad. It was a intense book. I felt bad for Bruno because he did not know what horrible things his dad did and what a horrible person his dad worked for.

Genre: Poems

This week I read a book named Locomotion. This book was written in a strange way. This book is written in poems and letters. I had a hard time reading it and following it which is why I didn't really like it so much. The idea of the book is great but when written on paper not so much. This book is written from the charator for a 12 year old boy named Lonnie. During the course of the book he is writing letters to his sister who are both orphans living apart.

My Cat by Chef Moses

I love my cat,

Even though he is fat

He play in the grass

And attacks us.

Who alway was rhyme'n

He was also a baller

His contract was a half dollar

but he stuck to making rhymes.

This week I read the book the wave. It is about a high school teacher named Ben Ross. One day he is teaching his class when he has the idea to teach them discipline. At first all of the kids hated it. After  a little bit they had some fun. Then it because more than just fun. It felt addicting. Soon they became a community.  They were called the wave. The made flags and banners. Only two kids could see into the future and see what was going to the disaster about to  happened.  I really liked this book so far. I liked the characters in the book.
