The Mysterious Benedict Society

I have finished reading another book called The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart.  It is about when a peculiar ad comes in the newspaper and dozens of children start enrolling to take a lot of mysterious and mind twisting tests.  But in the end 4 special children succeed.  They go on a secret mission which only the most intelligent and resourceful children can go on.  With a a new friendship at stake can they pass the most important test?

Wonderstruck

Wow! I have a new favorite author. It is Brian Selznick. I LOVED reading "the Invention of Hugo Cabret" and now I also enjoyed "Wonderstruck". I love how in Wonderstruck there are two separate stories, one told in words and one told in pictures. It is fun to figure out how the stories fit together! Have fun reading this summer!

Thank you so much for sharing with us Mrs. Law.  You are the best teacher to follow our blog.  We hope your summer has been great and we can't wait to see you again soon!

I Love My Daddy

I Love My Daddy, by Giles Andreae, and brightly illustrated by Emma Dodd, is a fun book that showcases a delightful and humorous rhyming text.  “He lifts me on his shoulders high, Until I nearly touch the sky. And when we’re playing on the swings, He does all sorts of silly things.” Each page is filled with a different bold background of color.  This would be a great book to read with your Dad during the summer.  And it is always fun to read a book that rhymes.  You can get this one at the library.  Happy reading.

A Wrinkle in Time

A few weeks ago I read, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.  I loved it. The story is about a girl named Meg and her little brother Charles Wallace. Their two parents are scientists but her father has been gone on a top secret mission and has not made any contact with his family for a long time. Charles Wallace doesn't speak to anyone outside the family and Meg is not considered to be smart in school. But really she just does things her own way. Anyway one day a strange lady appears at their house and then leaves after saying this, “And remembers there is such a thing as a tesseract and it can be used in real life." These words seemed to make Megs mother angry. The same lady comes back the next night and tells Meg and Charles Wallace it is time to find their father. This book was so good I read it in two days!
