The kids have been busy READING and would like to share their thoughts with you on recently completed "must-read" stories...
Emily has been learning about the colonial days through the eyes of American Girl, Felicity. Here is her book review for Happy Birthday Felicity.
Felicity turned 10 on her 10th birthday. She lived in Williamsburg, Virginia when it was a colony. Felicity celebrated her birthday with her family + her friends Elizabeth and Annibell Cole and Ben, a helper who worked at her father's store. On her birthday, she got a lamb and her Grandmother's guitar, but she didn't get much sleep! It was 1774 just before the Revolution war so it was complicated at that time. Read the book if you want to learn more. I learned a lot. The end.
Emily also highly recommends Nancy Drew - the originals, such as The Secret of the Old Clock, Book #1.
Jake has been reading R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series; most recently Deep Trouble II. His review follows...
Billy and Sheana got dropped off by their parents to see their scientist uncle Dr. D. on his floating lab in the Carribean. Dr. Ritter the bad scientist made plankton turn fish 100 times their size! Billy and Sheana liked to play jokes on each other, but Dr. Ritter's jokes were never funny. Dr. Ritter got stopped but I won't tell you why. If you like swimming in the ocean you should read this book. You may never swim again! The end.
Drew just completed Danny Champion of the World by Roald Dahl...
Danny, the main character, has an exciting life with his dad. He does not have a house. He has a carivan and likes hunting pheasants. The hunting takes place in the woods. I hope you like this book. I know I did because it is a very adventurous story. Danny and his dad were poachers, and it was very risky. The End.
Drew also highly recommends The Secret of Platform Thirteen. We just read this as a family and thought it was great!
