In this novel, Diamond's friends are very concerned about Diamond's safety, posting her information on social media and holding candlelight vigils. This reminds me of a news article I read about Annie Schmidt, the daughter of one of the Piano Guys, who went missing recently. Her family and friends showed their concern by posting her picture on social media and asking people to look for her. ]]> 2016-11-17 17:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_nelson1/n0wkrrg016ws/wish/138499408 https://padlet.com/madison_nelson1/n0wkrrg016ws/wish/138499873 Im reading Dead Ends by Erin Jade Lange, the book is about how a guy named Dane very mean nd likes to fight and this other kid who had down syndrome, Billy D. and Billy D. wants to find his dad ]]> 2016-11-17 17:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_nelson1/n0wkrrg016ws/wish/138499873 3134917 https://padlet.com/madison_nelson1/n0wkrrg016ws/wish/138499881 I'm reading Wilwood by colin meloy, illustrated by carson ellis.

This book tells the story of a 16-year old boy that works for an agency called, "The Program." He is a part of this because his so called "best-friend at the time" killed his parents, and then was kidnapped to choose between joining his parents or joining The Program.
