Holiday Reading Challenge: Sidekick

Title: Monkey Boy
Author of book: Donovan Bixley
Type of book: Fiction, Naval
How you're sidekick helped the main character:
"The French are coming!" The shout spread like wildfire. The sound of boots slamming against the boards was deafening. Jimmy walked towards his cannon station unworried. He knew Jake wouldn't disappoint. He  reached his cannon crew, and a furry object flew towards him, a bag of gunpowder clutched in one of its hands. His monkey handed it to him, and he gave it to the cannon loader, who rammed it down, quickly followed by a lead ball. Then he lit the fuse and a few seconds later the deafening BOOM! sounded, followed by a smashing sound and cheers from everyone on board.

Above decks later:
"Did you see that men! The French ship down and not a single casualty! We have this monkey and the monkey boy, Jimmy tom thank for that!" The crew cheered three times: "Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!" and hoisted him and Jake (his monkey, of course) on top of their shoulders. Right then he felt like the king of the world.

Holiday reading challenge: Book recomendation

The book I am recommending: White Fang

Who I am recommending it to: Mengchun

Why I am recommending it (3 reasons): I would recommend this book to Mengchun for these reasons:

• She likes books that are Non-Fiction
• She reads books that have animals in it
• It isn't too long (like Narnia) but it isn't like a year 3 length book either. This means that you cannot sit there for like, 1 second and be finished and yet you cannot sit there and read it for 24 hours straight, if you know what I mean.

This is my recommendation for the holiday reading challenge activity called: Make a recommendation. For this activity, as you see above, we have to choose a book, recommend it to someone and then explain why recommended it to that person in the form of three reasons.

Holiday reading challenge - Cover Design

This is my new design of the cover of the book: Time hunters: Cowboy showdown by Chris Blake. We can do this activity by choosing any book and making a new cover for it. We also have to include why our cover is better so here is my reason why: My cover is different by not showing cowboys. Instead, I show their mode of transportation back in time to get to the Wild West: A whirlwind. I did this because by looking at the title, you can tell there will be cowboys in it. It's kind of obvious there will be cowboys in it isn't it? This is why my cover is better.

Retelling: Holiday reading challenge

Holiday Reading Challenge: Setting

This is one of the activities for the holiday reading challenge given to the seniors of our school. For this activity, I had to choose a book (I chose Rick Riordans Heroes of Olympus: The house of Hades (Fiction, Mythology)). The setting in the story I chose was the lowest floor of the House of Hades. I drew: The doors of Death and the remains of a altar to Hades, of which was destroyed which explains the random pieces of rubble.
