Book Recommendations! by Leanne Power https://padlet.com/lpower11/qyh72mzmyjfmvel4 Check these out! en-us 2021-08-18 06:23:56 UTC 2024-10-14 07:11:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Miss Power lpower11 https://padlet.com/lpower11/qyh72mzmyjfmvel4/wish/1683622894 Book Title: Wonder
Author: R.J Palacio
Genre: Drama
Your favourite character & why: My favourite character in the text Wonder is Jack Will. Throughout the text I believe Jack learns the value of true friendship. An example of this is when Jack realises his mistakes and apologises to Auggie. After his apology Auggie forgives Jack and they realise that they're true friends!
Quote from the text: When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.
I recommend this book because as a grade five teacher I can understand how the adventures that Auggie and Jack Will have at Beecher Prep are similar to the friendships I see at Berwick Fields Primary School. I know that my students can relate to the experiences of growing up and finding their place in the world.
Can this book be found in our school library? Yes, I have seen this book in the library. There is also another text called Auggie & Me, also available in our school library. 
Any other information: This book was also released as a movie in 2017!

  • Your Name:Tyler
  • Book Title: Diary of a wimpy kid/ The deep end
  • Author: Jeff Kinney

    With this brilliantly imagined     New York Times bestselling novel, I recommend this because Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez.

    Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. As Morrison follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, she introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized Black world.

    My favourite character is saun because he is adventurous and brave  and the nearly dies.
     in the last scene he is super close to dying but he manages to survive.

    A quote from the book is "A room without books is like a body without a soul.” 

    I recommend this book for a little bit of advanced people i grade 5 but its really for everyone. 

    This book cannot be found in the library unfortunately.

    Genre- Action and some fantasy
    My favorite character and why: My favorite character is andy because he is funny and he is the one who mostly makes the trouble. He also makes things a bit more funny than they already are.

She still dreams about the perfect life for her, and she doesn't just think that she will become sicker and sicker. Then eventually all her dreams that she's been dreaming about come true. That's because tom and the rest of the kids in the children's ward felt bad for her and then they decided to give her one perfect night so that all her dreams will come true.
