         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Chealsea Bobulski<br><br>I chose this book by having a friend recommend it and seeing the similarity from my last book.<br><br>The author got me interested in the book by having an eerie or uneasy feel about what goes on past what the human eye may see.<br><br>Three interesting facts about Chelasea Bobulski 1)The Wood was her fourth manuscript.  2)She is a graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in  History.  3)She now lives in Ohio with her husband, daughter, and dog with a possibly magical wood behind her house.<br><br>The protagonist, Winter, struggles with living without her dad and taking care of the wood on her own.

While falling in love with a boy from a different time period.<br><br>The character with the worst relationship with the protagonist is Uncle Joe, this is because Joe try's to kill her and take over what she loves.<br><br>The genre of my book is fiction because it talks of a fictional disease that poisons the wood in which people travel to from different time period. <br><br>One character that reminds me of my mom is Winter's mom because she is constantly worrying.<br><br>One thing I would change bout the plot if I could would be to make it a bit more realistic and give more backstory on Winter and her dad especially.<br><br>The poisoned wood would be the new title I would give my book because it isn't talking about the poison that takes over the wood.<br><br>I would ask Winter what add her fall in love with Henry.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Morgan Matson <br><br>I chose this book because the title and cover intrigued me. <br><br>The author began by the narrator sharing a happy memory about her and her friend.<br>This got me interested because the book took a turn after the flashback and it got interesting. <br><br><strong>3 interesting facts about Morgan Matson <br></strong>1) Some of her books are inspired by her love of road trips, snacks and a good playlist.<br>2) Since You've Been Gone was the 3rd book she ever wrote and published.<br>3) Her books have been translated in many different languages throughout the world. Her work is well known.<br><br>The protagonist, Emily Hughes struggles with her only bestfriend  leaving her without telling her. She also struggles with the fact that she is shy, awkward and alone. She has to learn how to be herself and find new friends when solane goes MIA.<br><br>I think this book is very realistic, it shows the struggles of teenagers as well as having its own unpredictable plot to make it interesting.<br><br>The character that had the worst relationship with the protagonist would probably be solane, her so called bestfriend that ups and leaves without an explanation. <br><br>The most important thing this protaginist learns about herself is, that she doesn't need someone to define her and to be yourself always.<br>Two book I would read from these padlet posts are, Happiness Index and All the Bright Places</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Robb White<br><br>.I chose this book because it was the smallest book I could find<br><br>.The author began the book in the desert with two men hunting big horn sheep. This got me interested because it's like a survival type book with action.<br><br>.1 His father worked with Igorots in the Philippines.2 he became a military chaplain.3 he attended the naval academy.<br><br>.7 Madec the hunter has the worst relationship with the protagonist (Ben). Madec is trying to kill Ben.<br>.8 the genre of the book is science fiction because it could happen but it didn't.<br><br>1. My book reminds me of an old western because it takes place in the desert and he is be hunted by an out law.<br>2. My book is in first person P.O.V. and this is effective because it almost makes you feel like you are also being hunted.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Julie Berry<br><br>I chose this book by going into the library and asking about a fantasy <br>style novel that could interest me and keep my attention. <br><br>What the author did to get me interested was section off each chapter for each character. Meaning the author wrote a chapter per character, describing their life stories that's currently occurring, all throughout the book.<br><br>Three interesting facts about Julie Berry are...1) She was the youngest  of seven kids 2) She dreamed of being a marine biologist 3) Julie grew up with turkeys<br><br>The protagonist, Botille, struggles with keeping secrets from those of who are trying to find a certain girl, Dolssa. I would also say she struggles with keeping herself and others in control and in line with everything.<br><br>The level of characterization so far is realistic because the author uses sensory adjectives, detailed appearance descriptions, and detailed personality traits to describe each character as they come. Especially with the main characters and reoccurring characters in the book.<br><br>My books genre is fiction and I know that because nowhere on the book it says that it's non-fiction and the story is told in a fashion that is highly descriptive during a middle-ish aged time period. It's a little obvious how some events are made up.<br><br>If I had to spend a day with one character it would be Botille because she is brave, compassionate, and a leader. Together, her and I could go on some adventure that could possibly end us up in a bad situation, but it would end up being fun and humorous in a way, as she can make situations into. <br><br>One character that reminds me of my sister would be Dolssa because Dolssa is quiet, mysterious, and likes events to happen her way. My sister is quite similar because shcarries those traits as well.<br><br>A show that this book reminds me of is a show called "Salem." The show is a witchy based theme, and that reminds me of <em>Dolssa </em>because both the show and book are taken place during the same time period relatively and they both have similar descriptions of place, such as homes being located in a small town-like village and both having a forest nearby where people discover new secrets about people in the village.<br><br>Two things that make my book different are the rich heightened languages spoken and the amount of detail put into something so small (like a description of a tree for example, being described as something beyond what it actually is).</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Julie Israel <br><br>I chose this book because my friend read it for the last book talk and it sounded interesting.<br><br>In the beginning of the book the author began with the chapter saying "65" for the number of days junipers sister had been missing. This got me interested because it was a unique way of starting a book.<br><br>Three interesting facts<br>1. She told stories to young kids before she knew how to write <br>2. She tried writing in high school but wasn't good at it<br>3. She published her first book after she graduated college<br><br>The protagonist, Juniper, struggles with finding out what happened to her sister, she struggles because there was very little clues left behind and her mom makes it very hard for her. <br><br>If I could change one thing in the plot I would change when her sister died, I would've liked the book to start with her sister alive so it would be easier to understand what happened when she died.<br>My book is realistic fiction, I know this because the story didn't really happen but the story could actually happen.<br><br>My book is in first person, the whole time its juniper.<br>I would ask my character what she would've done differently if she knew her sister was going to die, I would also ask her what made her finally think of who "you" was <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By James Dashner<br><br><br>I chose this book because it was the next in the series that I am readin and recommended by a friend.<br><br>The author starts this book off with the protagonist waking up in a car, driving down a highway.<br><br>Three facts about James Dashner: <br>1) He wrote the Maze Runner series.<br>2) Dropped by his agent and publisher in 2018 after he was accused of sexual harassment. 3) Graduated from University with a masters degree in accounting.<br><br>The protagonist, Michael, struggles with being in a real body and finding out he was a "tangent", lines of code in a game, and not a real person, along with not knowing who is who.<br><br>The genre of this book is fictional action/adventure because it is a book with lots of action and exciting moments and didn't really happen, along with lots of adventure.<br><br>The level of characterization so far has been somewhat realistic.<br><br>If I had to spend a day with a character in my book, it would be Michael because he is the most interesting out of the main characters.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Brandon Sanderson <br><br>I chose this book because I love to read fiction/fantasy style books that take place in the future.<br><br>The author starts the book with a very detailed backstory of how the whole situation began. This interested me because it made me want to find out what happens next, which makes the book even harder to put down.<br><br>Three facts about Brandon Sanderson include:<br>1) As a child, Sanderson never enjoyed reading; he didn't find a passion for it until high school<br>2) Sanderson studied at BYU in chemistry. It wasn't until he took a trip to Seoul that he realized that he missed writing.<br>3) Sanderson finished 7 novels during his undergraduate years.<br><br>The protagonist, David, struggles with his father's death, and how he needs to find a way to avenge him.<br><br>I would say Steelheart has the worst relationship with David because he killed David's father, and he is out for revenge.<br>My book's genre is fiction because there is really no way that superhuman abilities can be gifted to anyone.<br><br>This book reminds me of the Mortality Doctrine book trilogy, as they'd both take place in the cities of the future.<br>The book is in a third person POV, and that is effective because it easily shows the opinions of all the characters.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>By Katie Alendar<br><br>I chose this book by looking around at the book store, and grabbing it because the title was intriguing.<br><br>Interesting facts about Katie Alender : 1) She loves talking about herself in 3rd person 2) She dislikes scary books, but supposedly writes scary books herself <br><br>The Protagonist, Alexis, struggles with trying to figure out how to get her sister Kasey back to normal when she gets possessed and turns into something she isn't, and she also struggles with the popular kids at School from how much they taunt he<br><br>   Some ways the character Alexis from my book and I are similar are Alexis could care less about anyone besides a very few amount of people, and she doesn't like someone talking bad at her family which is the same way I am. <br><br>If I could spend a day with a character in my book, it would be Kasey, because I find it would be interesting to be with the little girl who is possessed since it would be interesting to find out how bad or creepy it would be to do so.<br><br>    A choice I would have made differently from one of the characters is that I would have trusted people easier than Alexis did since she didn't really trust anyone for a while, but if she would have trusted the girl Megan sooner than she could have dealed with her sister sooner.<br><br>    One character that reminds me of my friend Tasia is Alexis because they are both people that don't trust easily, and they both do not care what the ''popular" and other kids think of them in the book and in real life. Also they both love taking photos, so they both have a similar hobby and similar traits.<br><br>Looking at the other Padlet entries, two books that I would like to read are : Since you've been Gone and The Cellar<br><br>If I had a chance to interview the character Alexis in my story, I would ask,<br>1. Would you have wanted more than one person helping you with your sister?<br>2. How come it's so hard for you to trust someone even though they are trying to help you and can be trusted?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Jennifer Chambers <br><br>I chose this book because the author is my cousin and it is a fiction novel that is set place in Oregon, which makes it easier to visualize everything. <br><br>The author began the book by giving a very clear visual of the scene, she set the scene very well and provided a lot of detail. This got me interested because it alowed me to "see" what was going on rather than just reading it, I could get a visual in my head easier <br><br>Three interesting facts about Jennifer Chambers<br>1) She is my cousin on my dad's side <br>2) She is a survivor of serious brain injury which forced her to have to learn everything from walking and talking to tying her shoes all over again<br>3) She is kind of a feminist, but in a good way. She writes a lot of books in which the lead role is a powerful woman. She is big on women empowerment.<br><br>4) A way that me and Jo in the book are similar is we both have a hard time concentrating but still try our best and show initiative.<br><br>5) One character that reminds me of Mrs.Neff is Hailey Marie</div>]]></description>
