https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat Here are the books I have read in the 2016-2017 school year. en-us 2016-08-25 20:40:51 UTC 2026-01-09 19:27:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Beartoy.png blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121193122 I thought that 47 was a really good book because I was taught a lot about slavery through this book. I liked how the writer wrote very descriptively, because it helped me visualize the book better. I thought that it was cool that it had historical details in the book, but also a bit of magic and make believe.]]> 2016-09-01 18:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121193122 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121194686 I enjoyed reading Diary of A Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel, because it brought me back to my elementary times when I loved reading this series. I remember buying the whole set and was interested in getting a bit of a refresh from my past. I think it is super neat that there are so many more that I haven't read yet. It was also fun to read some comics than just regular books for a change.]]> 2016-09-01 18:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121194686 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121245424 Armada was a really fun book to read, because it always kept me on my toes. I loved how Ernest Cline incorporated a bunch of 80s references into his book. I thought it was super cool to read about a dystopian future that had a retro game aspect woven into the story. Another thing that I thought was really cool was how the main character could teleport into his game then come back to reality. I thought it was nice to have two very different worlds have so much impact on one another in the story.]]> 2016-09-02 02:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121245424 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121245593 What I really liked about this comic was the fact that I could see my favorite TV show 's characters be live on a book page. I loved the details and colors that was put into it. Since the season is on a break, it was fun to be able to read this comic in between the waiting time for the next season to come out! ]]> 2016-09-02 02:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121245593 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121245670 Cured is the continuation of the first book of the series, Stung. But, this time the story has switched perspectives. Instead of us reading what is happening to Fiona, we are reading about Jacqui. What basically happens is that after Fiona is safe and in the wall, her Jacqui and others go to find Fiona's mother and Jacqui's missing brother. They have to go against ruthless raiders in order to get to their target.]]> 2016-09-02 02:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/121245670 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/124903320 Number the Stars is about a little girl who's best friend is Jewish in the times of the Nazis. They found out early and decided to hide her as her own sister when the Nazis where storming into houses looking for Jewish people. This little girl learns to protect her friend and hold very important secrets for her safety.]]> 2016-09-19 20:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/124903320 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/138615240 I really like this book because it was really fun to have historical events occur in the book. This is while I was learning them in Social Studies. I definitely learned new things about the American Revolutionary War. The plot of the whole story was thought out very well. It made reading from the main character, Tim Meeker's view very interesting. This is since we are about the same age, it was cool to see what my life might have been like if I was alive in that time period. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend, because it informational and interesting at the same time.]]> 2016-11-18 06:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/138615240 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/149744562 The Fifth Wave is set in a time where aliens have come from the sky and arrived at Earth. The aliens set out waves for example tsunamis, earthquakes, disease etc. We follow a teenager named Cassie who is trying to survive, find her brother, and discover the reasons behind the alien's actions. ]]> 2017-01-26 19:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/149744562 blossomh2021 https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/168797872 I really enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird because I liked how it touched on very difficult situations for the time it was published. I really like the suspense with Boo Radley in the book and how mysteriously he was portrayed. I actually like this book so much, I wouldn't mind reading it again. Seeing Scout grow was very interesting to see especially since her aunt came to live with her, she was forced to change. I would recommend this book to a friend because of the classic story line that also teaches an important lesson by talking about controversial topics such as gender, rape, and class]]> 2017-04-28 04:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/blossomh2021/cookie_cat/wish/168797872
