Tomorrow, When the War Began

Tomorrow, When the War Began

by John Marsden

This week I have been reading Tomorrow, When the War Began. This starts off with a brother and a sister wanting to go camping with some mates. Then they ask their parents and their parents say yes. They get ready and they were planning to leave at eight o'clock.

The 1,000 year old boy by Ross Welford

I have continued to read this book it is a very good book because there is a brave kid (Alfie). He is determined to find this life Perl (a life Perl is a thing when you crack it open and put it in your blood you will never age again) and he races on his friends (Aiden) grandpa's boat to cocktel island where he and his mam hid the life Perl. He meets his person who was talking to his school about this archeologist dig on cocktel island. The archeologist found the Perl and gave it back to him. I think it is a really good book and I think that you should read this book. Overall I give this book a 9/10.

Tales of the Peculiar by Ransome Riggs

This week I am excited to be reading a new book in the Miss Peregrine Series. It is called Tales of the Peculiar by Ransome Riggs. I have really enjoyed this series because it is jam-packed full of action, adventure and suspense. Although I have not read very much of this book, I can already see that this book is different to the others. The series is about an extraordinary group of children who each have peculiar talents and traits. For example, Emma can light a fire with her hands, Olive is lighter than air, Millard is invisible and Jacob can see the dreaded Hollowgasts. The children are protected by the watchful Miss Peregrine, but get into some real trouble in the series as they fight for survival against the evil Hollows.

This new book has been written as an extension of the series to explain some of the folklore surrounding the world of peculiarity. From what I can gather so far, this new book is a collection of stories that explains the existence and history of the peculiar people of the world. After scanning through the contents page, I cannot wait to read about ‘The First Ymbryne’,’The Girl who Could Tame Nightmares’ and ‘The Man who Bottled the Sun’, to name a few. I am expecting these stories to be full of surprise and excitement.

Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children

I have read up to page 211 of my book which is in the middle of Chapter 8. Jacob was on the other side of the island all day in the loop telling the children about mobile phones and computers. When he returns to his father later that night, he hears about the dead sheep across the hill. People suspect that Jacob is the one who killed the sheep as he was missing all day. The next morning Jacob woke up before his dad and went back to the house. He searched for Emma but was confronted by Miss Peregrine who took him to a private place. She gave him a small lecture about what he had been telling the children. The children had been going on about how they wanted to leave the loop to see what Jacob had been talking about.

In R3 we have been learning how to make an inference, figure out the main idea and identifying the important parts of a text. I think that I am good at identifying the important parts of the text by finding what the writer is trying to tell you.

Divine Madness by Robert Muchamore

This week I  have been reading Divine Madness by Robert Muchamore. The latest  scene that I have read in this book is when Lauren and James are at school and a new girl walks into class. Her name is  Melanie and she was a 'Pommy'. When it was time for recess, Melanie walks up to Lauren because apparently  Lauren was being 'mean to her' and she punched her in the face. Lauren did the same thing back. When Lauren punched her Melanie walked up to the teacher and told on her . The teacher approached Lauren and said "No punching people." This made me feel very angry because Melanie didn`t get into trouble, but Lauren did. This is a very interesting book and I suggest this book for 13 year olds and up to 16 because it is action packed and violent in places.


The things that I have been learning in R3 are: making an inference, finding the main idea, summarising. I am good at finding the main idea but I need to work on putting more information into it.

Caesar the war dog

This week I am still reading Caesar the War Dog and it is a really good book because it is interesting. I am at the part where Ben and his team have found Dr. Park in the cave, where they thought he would be. Little did Ben know that Josh's sister Maddie had already told the bully where Dr Park was. This was a problem because it was top secret information and Josh shouldn't have told anyone this.  What will happen next ...... I think they might get caught by the Taliban.

I would rate this book A 9/10 because it has interesting parts and boring parts . The reading skills I have learned to use in R3 are: To summarise and to make thick and thin questions when reading. I think I can do these well.

Wizard of Once - Twice MAgic by Cressida Cowell

In this story there's not much happening but Bodkin is saying to Wish that they need to get in cupboard because they need to stay safe. I think they are in danger but I am not sure why?  Once they are in the cupboard,  they have to use a spell and figure out what the password is. Finally, they learn that it is 'U-N-L-O-C-K'.

I'm not going to say why they got put in there because I'm not giving spoilers away. 

I think the book could include a bit more action at the start so it kinda hypes you up, but other than that it is really good .

Diary of a wimpy kid The Long Haul

I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Long Haul and it is a good book to read. It is about a family that puts a boat in the water to have fun with their kids. They have the best time in the boat and then they pull the boat out. When they are going back to the house, they get a flat tyre on the way home and this happened because the boat was too heavy.   After they get home and they made a hole in the boat and they fix it. That is the end of the story

.

Thank for read
