Week of September 27th

We are a community of readers! Add a comment about whether the books you are reading "keeps you reading."
Consider:

• Is the book interesting? Why?
• Is the book about something that you already know a lot about? (For example Ian knowing a lot about sharks.)
• Is the book one that someone else told you about?

Here's my example:
I am reading the book, Crash by Jerry Spinelli. This book has definitely been holding my attention. I find it interesting because the main character, Crash Coogan, is changing. At the beginning of the story he was more or less a bully. He is developing into a more caring, respectful person. This happened after his grandfather had a stroke. No one told me to read this book, but I picked it up because of the author. There has not been a book that I haven't liked that Jerry Spinelli wrote. 

Remember to:

• Write using capitals and end marks.
• Add details in your comment.
