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.
Your summary of what you have read is very good Jessica. I cannot wait until you get to the part where Jacob meets all the special children. some of them are very unusual.
