Mrs. Zana’s Class

I feel like I’m on the C level this week; reading because I need to have a book to share with you. Until I get interested, and then it’s D level again.

I read two books that we got for free for the class library. Both were GREAT.

“Swear to Howdy” starts out as a funny story of two boys who get into all sorts of trouble. Then, it becomes more serious, and has an important message about friendship and secret keeping. It’s pretty short and not diffiuclt reading.

“Replay” is written by Sharon Creech, who won the Newbery award for “alk Two Moons”. Like “Walk Two Moons,” it is several stories intertwined. There’s the story of Leo, who’s a middle child in a big family, the story of the play Leo’s is acting in, Leo’s dad’s childhood story, and more. It’s poignant, which means happy, sad, and sweet all combined. While not the absolutely amazing book the “Walk Two Moons” is, it’s a close runner up, and I’d definitely recommend it to either boys or girls who like to read and to think about what they read.

I also read and threw away a whole mess of newspapers and magazines. Now, I’m going back to the “Life of Pi”, which I keep abandoning for no good reason.
