Watch The Sky - Book Review

Before Jory's stepfather Caleb came along they used to live in the city, just Jory and his mom. His mom worked in a crummy coffee shop. She had met Caleb there when he defended her. They moved to an old farmhouse. They had found Jory's little sister in the fields eating pumpkins. Ansel, Jory's little brother, was born there. 

 Jory Birch has no ordinary life. He has a life full of secrets, danger, silent sister and signs.  Now he had to go to school too. Jory had always been home schooled by his mother.  Kit was a secret. So were the signs. School was school and home was home. Jory couldn't let them mix. Friends were school and family was home. 

 Signs were anywhere and everywhere, Caleb - Jory's stepfather says. Signs. They could be anywhere. They could be anything. They mean everything. Red leaves in the springtime. Pages torn from a library book. All the fishes in an aquarium facing the same way. A cracked egg with twin yolks. All signs. 

 Caleb told Jory not to trust things he learned from school. The officials change things so we don't know the truth. Officials. Caleb was always talking about them. They could take Kit away. Tear the family apart. That's why Kit's a secret.

 This book is amazing! I would honestly recommend it to anyone and everyone. The end is so unexpected and I would have never thought that would happen. One thing that I didn't really like was that the story was a little rushed at the end. Otherwise, it's actually an amazing book.

    Why to many spoilers so fix that,
    Not much details hat you think about the book,
    Good definition on the main character.

    I think this is great. But I think you should talk more about what you think. I like that the writing is descriptive and has good punctuation and grammar.

    I really liked how you had great punctuation and grammar. I wish you had read through you post before posting it because some of the sentences were way to short. Also you should write more about what you think about the book. But overall it was good

    I loved your connections, but just try your best to not really spoil the story. I know that you aren't supposed to ruin the story in a book blog, but I felt like it was a little more than confusing.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown - Book Review

What will Greg Heffley do when it's a snow day? He'll have a neighbourhood snow battle, that's right. Greg Heffley lives on Surrey Street and it's quite different from your average neighbourhood. On Surrey Street, you're either a hill kid or a non-hill kid. Greg and the hill kids can't stand the non-hill kids. In the summer the kids at the bottom never let the hill kids play down there. But in the winter the tables are turned. The hill is amazing for sledding and all the non-hill kids want in. Upper Surrey Street ambushing lower Surrey Street kids If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy. In this book, there are a lot of callbacks to things that happen in previous books. So, to understand this book read a couple of the older Wimpy Kid books.  So I really loved this book. In fact, I really love the entire series. I would recommend this book to ages 10-12. Something I would love to see is this book in movie for...

Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas - Book Review

We'll get to the root of Petey's problems. Why he's the villain, in every Dog Man book. Well, this time it's different. Petey's the good guy. We'll also meet his childhood friends, who want their revenge with a giant Robo-Brontosaurus. And Petey will fight back with the power of knock-knock jokes, in Flip-O-Rama. Will the power of good arise or will Petey stay his rotten old self?  This book is very funny. Something I always enjoy about Dog Man books is Lil Petey (he's my favourite character). He always does this thing where he says "why" after everything. Here's an example from the book.  Lil Petey is never mad or angry. He is always happy and innocent. He makes many jokes that are always HILARIOUS!   I also really love Flip-O-Rama scenes,  Dav Pilkey always has Flip-O-Rama's in his books. Flip-O-Rama is when you flip a page very quickly and it looks like it is animated. I think that anyone, any age would laugh and learn some...

Black History Museum

Black Canadians have made so many changes and contribution to our history. They have changed the way people think about Black people. They have led the path for many Black Canadians and have been an inspiration for many. My classmates and I have spent many weeks to demonstrate the real lives of Black Canadians, including all the struggles they faced. That is important to know because life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for the Black Canadians. My topic was Africville. I know some of you don't know what Africville is. Well, I don't blame you. Things like this are usually not taught in school. Africville was an example of racism in Canada. Africville was a place that slaves escaped from the USA to live peacefully. It was peaceful and quite prosperous early on. There were many stores and businesses.  But, the government of Halifax, Nova Scotia didn't care about letting them live in peace. They added unwanted businesses to Africville such as the city dump, a priso...
