Hi Everyone!  I know that we have had some people still purchasing the book, and reading and some already finished. How great is this?!  So, here's what I'm thinking we should do for the rest of this book club.  I think everyone should continue reading until they finish.  We will set up a time to discuss in school (maybe a breakfast? or after school?) if you'd like.  Post and let me know what you would prefer! Let's try to set this up for after Thanksgiving break

I'd love to see more people blogging about the book so I am going to be at school early on MONDAY NOVEMBER 25th at 7:30 am. If anyone would like to come in and get help setting up and blogging please come in then- I just ask that you bring your gmail username and password and let me know that you are coming in so that I can reserve enough computers!  Hope to see you then...


I also found this video- it is an interview with the author and character Salva..I thought it was pretty cool to see the character we have been following in the book.  Let me know what you think :)

A Few Announcements

Hi everyone!  So happy to see so many posts, I think this is such a fun way for us to communicate outside of school about literature!

Just a few reminders...

Scholastic Book Orders close TODAY (November 8th) for any middle school students.  I will have another order form to put through before Christmas. Thank you to everyone that ordered :)
