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.
