Leave a comment to tell us what book you are reading, what genre it is, and how you know the book is the genre you think it is. Answer this question: How is your book an example of _______(genre)?

Here's an example:

I am reading Bigger Than a Breadbox by Laurel Snyder. This book is an example of fantasy(genre) because the girl in the book wishes for things like money, a diamond, and junk food and it all appears in a breadbox she has in her room! Wishes don't really come true so I know this book is fantasy.

I'm excited to hear about what you are reading and what genres you are reading! Go Team Read!
