Once By Morris Gleitzman

Blurb:

Everybody deserves to have

something good in their life.

         At least once.

Prediction:

I think that this story will be about how a Jewish boy who flees away to find his parents, but on the way he finds the Nazis and gets into more trouble.

Summary:

So far I have read that this boy has lived in an orphanage run by nuns and has been there for 3 years and 8 months the year is 1942. He has found a whole carrot in his soup and thinks it is a message from his parents which are Jewish booksellers and have left him there to be safe from the Nazis. He plans to flee from the orphanage and find his parents.

This book is about a girl named Mimi who loves art and her teacher gives her lessons after school but her Dad doesn't want her to be an artist, he wants her to be a herbalist. The next day her teacher gives her a box of magical coloured pastels. When she draws out on the foot path the next day it appears that the people who are viewing the artwork are in some sort of trance.

Holes By Louis Sachar- Jacob C

4 R's BY JACOB CACCIOLA

The book i've been reading is "Holes" by Louis Sachar.

RETELL

From what i have read up to, a boy named Stanley Yelnats. Who goes to a Boys Detention Centre called Camp Green Lake. Well... used to be a lake, now its just a dry landscape. All of the boys have to dig a hole each day in the sand, a big hole for their punishment.

RELATE

T-S- I have noticed that Stanley is Yelnats spelled backwards.

T-T- In "Girl Underground, by Morris Gleitzman, a boy and a girl trapped in a detention centre.

REFLECT

Has any of this happened in your life?

How did you come up with the name Stanley Yelnats?

Why did you choose to make his last name the same as his first name?

REVIEW

I recommend to read this book as Stanley has lots of adventures.

I rate it 8/10.

The world according to humphrey

Retell:

When a hamster named Humphrey is left by ms mack he was very upset abut her leaving him.
And his new teacher mrs Brisbane decides that anyone can take humphrey home for a week.
that is bad but the good part is he meets a human called Aldo and hopes he cod be by his side forever.

Reflect:

I wonder if hamsters are smart and can understand like humphrey can.
I wonder if the author experience tat before.
I wonder if they have a play group for hamsters like humphrey.
I wonder f the author used her imagination to make his story.

Relate:

I relate to this book when they are stuck in a class room all day like me for school.

Review:

I really like this book and i love the author Betty G Birney
