Spring Break Reading

What a week. Lots of things going on, however, I did start and finished the book Dormia. Alphonso has in his position a plant-a very special plant. Alphonso has skills, amazing skills only when he is sleeping. Alphonso, using his special skills must get this special plant to the main city of Dormia. If he doesn't he could kill the last remaining citizens of Dormia. But he could also kill himself in the process.

This is a fast-pace, adventurous fantasy that many will enjoy.

I found the website very interesting and helpful, so you may want to refer to it while you are reading the book. There is additional information about the authors as well.

The Newest Book-In-Hand:

I have two books left from the Mark Twain list, and this is one.

In this book, the main Vassor Spore is an over-achiever, one who has to do better than anyone else. Her current goal is to get a 5.3 grade point average to be the top in her class. So she has her life planned out until the call from her grandmother. And boy does grandma have plans for her next summer!

Thank-you For My New Name By Mrs. Buchanan

I would like to thank Mr. P for creating the name Mrs. Book-in-hand and the BAM (Books and More)club for spreading it around the school. The name is very creative. :)

Other new things--Checkout the shelfari that I have added. On the shelf, you will see the children'ts and young adult books that I have been reading. So far, I have liked most of the books that I have read!



So the Book-In-Hand now is:Each chapter is the personal account of two boys who would rather fight each other then to look at one another. Punishment is to play games in the principal's office. You learn surprising things about each boy. I'm not finished with the book yet...but so far, so good!
