BOOKS I'M THANKFUL FOR!!

Thanksgiving is coming! In fact, it is tomorrow!! 

So, I decided to list some of the books (or series) I'm thankful for.

#1 Wonder- By: RJ Palicio  

August (Auggie) is starting a school for the first time (In fifth grade), because he had so many face surgeries.  Mr. Tushman sets up Auggie to meet Jack, Julian, and Charlotte (who are in his homeroom), and to give him a tour. Julian is really rude to Auggie (because of his face) . Jack and Auggie become really good friends.  Everybody stares at Auggie, because of his face. Julian starts putting really, really mean notes in Auggie's locker.  Jack ends up punching Julian in the face, because he was mean to Auggie.  Auggie meets Summer and they become friends.  Auggie went to a nature reserve and that got some of Julian's friends on his side, because four dudes were about to beat them up, and Miles and Henry stepped in (Henry and Miles are Julian's friends).

FIVE STAR READ!! *****

#2 JUDY MOODY!!!!!!!!!!! - By: Megan McDonald 

I've been reading a ton of this series lately.  It's about this girl named Judy Moody.  Her friends are Frank and Rocky.  Some books in this series are;

#3 Small As A Elephant- By: Jennifer Richard Jacobson

This is good.

So far anyway.  It's about a boy named Jack who wakes up and his mother isn't there.  He goes looking for her and she isn't anywhere nearby.  Jack realizes that he should look outside the campsite.  So he starts looking farther away from the campsite. Jack runs out of food and collects cans to turn in to get money to buy food. Jack also breaks his finger.

Jonas is a Twelve and he will be Assigned- or Selected, as he was, by the old Receiver Of Memory.
He has a little sister named Lily, who in the beginning is about to be a Nine.  Jonas starts seeing Fiona's hair red, in his world where it is colorless.  The Giver, as he asked Jonas to call him, gives Jonas memories of snow, sunshine, colors, etc. Gabriel, the newchild, his father, a Nurturer, brought home, Jonas takes him away and runs, runs, away!!

I've gotten to go to the pool alot, and had a friend over.  I've read lots of good books, but I want you to tell me what you're reading.  I've gone to Welcome to Middle school camp.

I finished the library summer reading program already.  (And my summer homework reading!!!  :) :) :))
