The Trunk

I am reading The Trunk and I am up to Chapter Four. Charlie and his family go to the new neighbours' house to meet them. Charlie went to look in the window before they knocked on the door. When he looked through, Charlie saw the new neighbours were eating raw meat like they haven't eaten in years. It was weird that they were eating like animals.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (Miss Peregrines)

This week I am reading Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I have read up to page 43 which in in the middle of chapter two. So far my book is about a boy named Jacob who spends a lot of time with his grandpa and he tells him about the war and the peculiar children he lived with in a home, safe from the monsters when he was growing up.  He believes his grandpa at first but then remembers what adults said to him and stopped believing as he got older.
When he was at work trying to get himself fired,he got a call from his grandpa who was telling him that the monsters had found him. Jacob did not believe him but was concerned he may have lost it so his friend Ricky picked him up. As they drove past the houses a man turned and stared with white eyes and Jacob assumed he was blind. The monster had attacked his grandpa and before he died he told Jacob to go to the island and stay safe before they monsters got him too. I am enjoying my book so far and it is very thrilling.

In R3 this week we have been learning how to write a summary to improve our writing skills and use only the important parts of a story or text.

The 78-story tree house movie opening night by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton

I've started a book called The 78 Storey Treehouse - Movie Opening Night by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. So far the book is all about Terry and not about Andy.Why you maybe wondering? This is because the director, called Mr Big Shot, does not like Andy. So far I'm up to page 164-165 in the middle of chapter 7. Andy felt left out so he went to Andy Land and in the 6th chapter, Andy Land is in trouble because of all the Andy clones. The first Andy tells them about the treehouse movie and the other Andy's yell "yeah!". The real Andy says they are not in the movie because Terry is the movie star and that they are replaced by a monkey. No one really cares because they say they like Terry better then themselves.
my favourite bit is when  Andy goes to Andy Land and calls out to himself. This is funny because he is literally talking to himself.


 

Two Weeks With the Queen by Morris Gleitzman

Two Weeks With the Queen 

I am reading Two Weeks With the Queen and my favourite part of the book is when the two brothers  don't get along very much, so the other brother starts telling gross, killing, blood dripping stories and the other brother starts getting the shivers and can't speak he is so frightened. I think this is funny. I don't really like the book very much.

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children

This book is about a boy who is trying to find out about the truth of his grandfather's death. All he knows is that his grandfather's eyes were taken. To find out about what happened Jacob goes to Ireland to see the Peculiar children. He found some suspicious clues in an old abandoned house before he was found and taken hostage by the children who lived there. Miss Peregrine knows straight away that he is Abe's grandson. Before long they sit down for dinner then Jacob heads home, leaving the loop of September 3rd, 1940.

This week in R3 we are learning about making inferences that are using the clues in the text to find out what the author hasn't told you in the story.

Caesar the war dog by Stephen Dando-Collins

This week I am reading the book Caesar the War Dog and it is at a really good part where this girl Hanna's dad is missing in Afghanistan. Ben and Caesar are called to Afghanistan to help find him and bring him back to Australia. Ben's son Josh had found something out that might help Ben and his team find Hanna's dad. Josh found out that Mr Park might be in a cave at the top of the mountain that only has two entry ways: one is out the front of it and is guarded by the people that had taken him and the other way they could get in was a way that was 100 meters under dragon lake. They are working out a way to get in that and trying to get Caesar under as well.

I would rate this book 10/10 because it is getting interesting.

The Killing

If you like to read action books this book series is for you!!!!!! I have read up to book four in the Cherub series and what I have noticed is that each book has a new character and new drama. In book four they have been talking about how James and Lauren's mum died. James and his friends went on an egg hunt because they were sitting around doing nothing and when they came back from the egg hunt, James went up to Lauren and stole her eggs and jumped on them. I think he did this because she was being nasty to him and he wanted to get her back. In the last chapter of book three,  James cheated on Kerry and Lauren saw the whole thing happen and now James is know trying to get Lauren to not tell Kerry about the kiss. I hope that Kerry and James break up because Kerry is not a nice person towards James .

Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin

If you like to read about World War Two and what it was like to live in Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, then this might be the book for you! Wolf by Wolf follows the story of a brave young girl (Yael) whose mission is to assassinate Hitler. What makes this book really interesting is that it actually changes the course of History. Ryan Graudin has created a world where Adolf Hitler is supreme ruler after defeating the Allies in World War Two. Fear and control is part of everyday life in a Nazi world.

Yael belongs to an underground organisation and she has a special power: she can transform her body to look like another person. This is the result of Nazi experiments that she was subjected to when she was a young girl. Her mission is to win the annual Axis Race - a motorbike challenge where competitors race from one side of the world to another. It is a dangerous mission as each of the competitors are just as hungry to win. Yael's life is constantly under threat and she struggles to find an ally in the group. The book keeps you guessing right to the end and the outcome of the race is truly unexpected.

THE TRUNK BY S.CAREY

The book I am reading at the moment is The Trunk and it is confusing me because one of the characters called Charlie can hear a girl singing through the walls and she makes contact with him be saying "It's me...". He gets a chill down his back. He tried to speak but he couldn't, he cleared his throat and asked, "Who are you?". She told him her name was Sonya. He doesn't know who that is. He thought it was his neighbour who he calls 'stick woman'.

I think he will tell his parents and they might not believe him. When the father researched their new neighbours, he found that he was a scientist and I think its important because they also have a crocodile in the backyard. They could be experimenting on them or the crocodile could get out.
