Independent Reading Check In!

I just finished reading the Orphan Train over the weekend. I couldn't believe that 200,000 children were sent away to new families out West in the early 1900s. The book I read was fiction, but based on many true facts and stories, so historical fiction. I loved the main characters and was a little sad to finish the book. I've moved on to another very dramatic book recommended to me by Mrs. Papadakes! My backup reading is cook books, magazines and of course, Toddler 411 to learn about Aliya!

Tell us all about what you have been reading lately! We can't wait to catch up on your independent reading!

  1. Right now, I am reading a book called Princess For Hire. It is about a girl named Desi and Desi is stuck as a pet store job. Her ex-best friend is giving her a hard time because her friend, Celeste was voted Miss Idaho. One day, while Desi is taking a bath while reading the newspaper looking for ads for jobs. Jobs better than a pet store employee. A ad catches her eye. It says " Princess For Hire teen girls!! Call Meredith" She somehow calls Meredith and becomes a princess sub!!!!!!!!

  2. I'm reading a great book called Stella Batts Needs a New Name. I love Stella she is trying to make a book about herself. She has a cute sister named Penelope. I can't believe that just because she said it at a lunch table to her friends she influenced them to changed their names. her parents own a candy store called Batts Confections and she went on a field trip there and her friend Lucy said that they should make there new names candy names. Next I planing to read the 2 book in the Stella Batts book series.






    Love Linda. A.K.A. Helena!!!!

  14. Right now I am reading the Blood Of Olympus. It was really good. Its funny and cool. It has different people too. It tells you about the gods and many other stuff . I am not even close to finishing the book it is so cool. Every time I get upstairs, I start reading. It has inspired me . The other books were good too. They all have action and excitement. Its called the Percy Jackson series. Percy is for Purses. I forgot his power though. Now I know that it's awesome and it makes me read more and get motivated.

  15. I just started Glory Be. I am not very far. I am also reading My Weird School. Stella is also reading a My Weird School. I just finished the second Boxcar Children. It is about four children whose grandfather owns an island. They spend their summer there. They find incredible things on this island. I will not tell you any more because then I would be the spoiler. My next book to read is Wonder. I know that some schools have read it for all school reads. In the car I listen to Harry Potter 3 and read along with the tape. The reader captures Hermione's voice. I have seen the movie many times but the book is so much different. My sister likes the books and the movies.
