Wonder

I have just started the book Wonder. I thought that it was going to be a hard book to get into but it's was so easy. I love this book and never want to put it down. I love how it keeps you wondering because they don't tell you what Auggie looks like. So I actually have to imagine what he looks like instead of have a description. I wish more authors would write like this.

Auggie is just about to start 5th grade and his mother had home schooled him ever since now. She thinks that him getting out there, being around and meeting new people will be good for him. I think that it will also be good for him. Auggie doesn't want to because he is afraid that people are going to stare at him and make fun of him. I think that it is going to be good for him and that he should go to school. It doesn't matter if people stare. People stare at me all the time. You don't have to be or look perfect to fit in.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Well this is the second book that I started reading then stopped in the past week. I guess I can't find a book to get into. After I read Heaven is for Real and My Story I just can't find a book that I am into right now. My English teacher Mrs. Palmer and one of my friends Elle told me that the book Wonder by: R.J. Palacio. I bought this book just recently and was going to wait until the summer to read it. If I had to recommend The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants  I would recommend it to anyone who loves to read about a good friendship movie and that you haven't seen the movie. 

According to Common Sense Media says, "Parents need to know that this book's emphasis on strong, supportive girl friendships may inspire readers -- and provides some nice counter-programming to clique lit's "frenemies." The characters do make some bad decisions, but they grow from them. There's some sexual content, language, and some pretty intense emotional stuff. Teens living out their own coming-of-age stories will likely get the most out of this book." Read More?

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I quiet my book Looking for Alaska By: John Green. I quiet this book because it just wasn't the right book for me. It was so boring and just made me want to stop, so I did. It didn't have any good detail that made me want to keep going. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good book to read. If you are looking for a new book to read and you like to read about friendships and just girl life, then i have the perfect book for you. Read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by: Ann Brashares. I am just getting into this book and I can tell that I already going to love it. This book keeps me on my toes excited to hear what is going to happen next. I know what your thinking, this book is already a movie. But you can read the book and as a "Treat" for finishing the book watch the movie. Well at least that is what I like to do.

This book so far is about 4 girls that are best friends. They are best friends because there mothers all a yoga class while they were all pregnant at the same time with girls. Seeing where they are now is crazy. They four girls in the story are, Lena, Tibby, Bridget, and Carmen. I can't relate to any of them yet. But I hope that as I get into the book I will soon find someone I can relate too. 

Looking for Alaska

I am currently reading Looking for Alaska by: John Green. After I read The Fault in Our Stars by him saw this book and have heard that this book is a really good book. As I started it was really good and really long. I've been reading it and gave it some time but now it is so boring, so long that I just want to stop reading it. I thought about this earlier but said that I had to keep reading and try and stick with it, but I just can't anymore. It's not interesting anymore and I have lost total interest.

This weekend I got to see Heaven is For Real with one of my really good friends. I wanted to see it so bad that she finally told me that I needed to go see the movie after I read the book. It was crazy because while I was reading it I knew that all the sad parts were coming but during the movie I didn't see it coming. It got me the whole time. I have to admit I really did like the movie but the book was much better. It went into so much detail that made me understand it better. But I like visualizing it better. I would defiantly recommend that if a book was going to become a movie that you should read the book before or don't read it. If you read it after then you will know everything and have nothing to look for in the end.

Finished Heaven is For Real

I am so happy to say that I finished my book Heaven is For Real. It was by far the best and most wonderful book I have ever read. It was amazing to see how a little 4 year old boy could get through all that at such a young age. I can't explain my emotion about it right now because it was so crazy. It was a book that I finished in 1 and a half weeks and too me that was a very good time amount. Coming from me who doesn't like to read but this book changed me which is very good.

When you first start reading this book you think that it is made up and there is no way it could be true. Believe me I know that's how I felt too. As I went on there were so many things that Colton say that made me believe it was true. Some of the things that he said were:

• "He nodded, eyes bright. 'Did you know that Jesus' cousin's name is John.'"
• "'It was big, Dad... really really big, because God is the biggest one there is. And he really, really loves us, Dad. You can't belieeeeve how much he loves us!'"

These were the first two lines that made me think. He couldn't have known all this for being 4 years old, it would have been crazy if he did. That is when I said this has to be true it cant be a lie.

If I had to rate this book I would give it a 5/5 because it was so well written and kept me on my toes. I love books that keep me on the tip of my toes and it was one of those books. It was so neat to see how someone could have overcome that major injury and had a great experience coming out of it. I don't know what I would do if I was in his shoes, I guess it would be hard for me. If you are looking for a new book to read I highly recommend this book. I promise you won't regret it!

Heaven Is For Real

I have never been a fan of reading but ever since I have started reading Heaven Is For Real I have loved reading. I don't wanna put my book down I just want to keep reading. Everyday in class we get 10 minutes to read and I used to think that it was the worst time of that class, but now I want more time. It's crazy how one book can change your reading habits. I am on Page 60 out of 180 and I hope to finish the book this weekend so I can go see it. It is also really action packed not with fighting but going from the hospital to another just keeps you on your toes.

I don't want to just give you a summary because then I would be giving the book away and you might not have read it yet. I don't know what I could say about this book. If i had to describe it so far in one word I think it would be WOW. I don't know how a little boy could be going through all of this at such a young age. If I was his age I don't know what I would do because it would be crazy and they have so many hospital bills that you don't know how to pay for it would be very stressful that is all that I am saying. If you are looking for a new and good book this book will keep you on your toes!

 

New Book!

I am so happy to say that I finished my book. After a long time of reading it, I finally got into it. I read it over spring break from page 100-380 in 2 days. I was kind of surprised cause normally I don't spend my time reading. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. It was so powering that I cried at the end. It was really cool to see how she got out and got to see her family. I also loved the way she wrote, her language was amazing and she used so many pieces of figurative language. Most of the time you would think that people would run if they got kidnapped but surprisingly that didn't happen and I was so shocked. Also after reading I watched many videos of her giving speeches and it was crazy I couldn't get up and do that in front of people.

I was watching TV and saw the movie trailer for the book Heaven is for Real.  Just by watching the trailer moved me to want to read it. I just started yesterday and I'm not that far into but it is so cute! What I know so far is there is a little boy named Colton and Cassie. They are very young and not in school yet. They like each other which is surprising because most brother and sisters get in fights. This is all that I know so far but I'm sure if you watch this trailer that you will be moved to read the book.
