Book Recommendations

Image result for reading meme

Dear students,

As a voracious reader, I love discussing books with other lovers of literature. I have joined book clubs, emailed with friends, and sat down over many meals where the conversation turned to what everyone was reading. Books are a part of my life.

I have noticed I have certain friends who never fail to disappoint me with their EXCELLENT recommendations. When recommending a book to me, they tell me what the book is about without giving too much away.

I would like for you to write a book recommendation about a fiction book you love! Be sure to include the book title,  characters, settingand the plot (problem/action). Assume I have not read the book and be sure to edit your work.

Here is my recommendation:

Ida B is about a young girl who lives with her mom and dad on a farm. She is home schooled after an unpleasant experience in kindergarten. She lives a happy life, using her imagination to play on the farm and with her pets. Sadly, her mother gets cancer and Ida B's life is turned upside down. She is heart-broken! She must return to school, where she makes a decision to change into a person with a cold, hard heart. You will love this book is you like character-driven stories and realistic fiction.

I cannot wait to see your recommendations!

Your teacher,
Mrs. Eads

Brian finds out that he is having a heart attack. He thinks the pilot is dead. He has to fly the plane on his own. He ends up crashing. He has to live on his own, and he does not know where he is. He has to find food, get water and build a shelter. I recommend Hatchet because it is exciting, and you don’t know what is going to happen next. I would recommend Hatchet.

Everyday Mickey puts hair chalk in her hair to match her outfit. Mickey's best friend C.J. partners up with her because who doesn't want to go to Europe.

  17. I recommend a book called Pubic School Superhero by James Patterson. This book is about a kid named Kenny who kind of imagines himself as a superhero named Stanlezz Steal. Kenny has problems along the way including that his grandma takes care of him and not his mom and dad, so at his school people call him grandma’s boy. He has to give a big, long speech about how all the kids at his school want one of their old principal, Dr. Yetty, and along the way he slowly realizes that he too, wants Dr. Yetty back. If you like fiction/action books you would love this book.

  18. I recommend the book The Law Of Finders Keepers By Sheila Turnage. I think this is a good book because I read Three Times Lucky. That is also by Sheila Turnage which is good too. So when I read that, it made me want to read her books. But when I found out there was a series, I wanted to read those books even more! Sheila Turnage is a good author and has written many good books. I hope you like her series too! Goodbye. -Dino

  20. A book that I would recommend is the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because it is very well written. I love this book because there is a lot of crazy things that happen. Like one of the golden ticket finders gets sucked up a chocolate tube. There is also a lot of drama like one of the girls named Veruca salt that whined until she got her father to get his whole factory to open chocolate bars until they found a golden ticket. I really recommend this book if you like candy and drama. Lowell

  22. I would recommend the book Derek Jeter because it is about a kid that never gives up. He keeps on trying and he never gives up. He always tries to beat his dad in a game of pig, but his dad always wins. He keeps on trying, and I like that he always tries. You should read this book if you like sports books.
