Book Groups!

Hi!
For those of you who don't know, for the past term I've been doing a thing called "book groups."
Its when a couple of people meet up and chose a book to read. During a period of time we read all at the same pace and meet up every now and then to discuss what's been happening in the book.

Tomorrow is our last book group book meeting so to celebrate that we finished the book were planning on brining in some lollies and party hats. its going to be sooooo cool!!

The book I'm reading is called "Running Out Of Time." its about a girl who lives in 1956 (or something like that) and later on finds out she's living in a tourist attraction. In the normal world its something like 1975 where they have a place called Clifton. this place is a very famous tourist attraction where there's screens (that are supposedly mirrors in Clifton) where tourist can see everything that happens inside of Clifton. There are people living in Clifton and pretending that its 1956. They don't tell the kids living in Clifton about the real world until there around 12 years old. One day a disseise called diphtheria starts spreading around Clifton and the government refuses to give them modern medicine. Children start dying so Jessie's mum sends Jessie out of Clifton to get help.(Jessie is the main Character) Its packed with unexpected things and I recommend it for people who like adventure.

I think book groups were a great idea because it gives you a chance to read books you never thought you would.
In my book group we always disagree on where to read up to because some people are really slow at reading but others are really fast. Other than that were totally fine we have lots of fun discussing things even if they're boring cause we can always find a way to make a laugh out of it.

Please comment some good books because I'm running out of ideas!

SEE YA!!!

My Favorite Book From Long Ago....

Hi guys i hope your day has been going well so far.

My favorite book when i was younger was definitely from the Thea Stilton series's. Out of all the Thea Stilton books my favorite was properly... The Mystery In Paris.
It was based on these five girls that had to go on a mission to save the fashion designs that were stolen because "the show must go on!!"
I don't know why i loved it so much but i guess i just found it interesting because i read it like three times.

I recommend the Thea Stilton Series for anyone under 10.
 What was your favorite book when you where younger??

Comment your answer to let me know!

SEE YA!!!

Auckland Rapid Jet!!!

I was starting to get really nervous as the small ,red jet that we were on started picking up speed.
We were going so fast when suddenly I notice that the driver puts his hand up in the  and turns his finger.
I recognise that signal, it means where about to do an epic turn.
I hear everybody scream as the boat turns at an amazing speed and heaps of water splashes onto everybody.

PS.. I was soaked at the end.

It was so fun
SEE YA!!!
