What Are You Reading Good (11/20/08)

I was sick last week and didn't post WAYRG.  :(

I had an idea that I am going to do at school and at home.  I'm going to create a poster where I can put up a sticky note with what I am reading good, and then I'm going to ask my students and my family to put up a sticky note to tell me what they are reading good.  You can do this at home with your family!  It's important to share what we read with others!

So...what are you reading good this week? REMEMBER..tell me the title, the author, what the book is about right now. Try to really be more specific than just saying it is interesting or it is fun. Make me want to read the book! Or...really support why I shouldn't read the book, if you don't like it.

This week I am reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.  I read The Thief Lord by Funke which is a great great great book.  I loved the characters and I loved the story.  This book is the first in a trilogy of books about a girl who loves to read and her father who is a bookbinder.  So far I am only at the beginning and her dad just disappeared because he was trying to save a book...sounds like an adventure waiting to happen!

I am also read Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko.  I have also read a book by Choldenko before but so far this one is great.  It's about a boy whose family goes to live on Alcatraz because his dad gets a job there.  Can you imagine living on Alcatraz!  I think it would freak me out too much!  This book is great so far!  The boy has a sister who is autistic that he has to take care of and the warden's daughter keeps getting him into trouble!
