Thinking of my book club besties today and hoping they have the best first day of school. I’ve no doubt those smarties will take the year by storm! As for me, I’m feeling pretty gleeful over the raving reviews our last round of books garnered. Just hoping Tate’s Grandma Pam doesn’t find out I sent him a book with a couple swear words in it.
This bookclub has been the highlight of my summer and I’m nowhere near ready for it to end. So as long as these boys keep reading what I keep sending, I’ll share their reviews here. A fun update from Nolan: he took a while to read The Wednesday Wars because he was so busy reading the follow up books to The False Prince and Circus Mirandus. Now that makes my book-and-Nolan-loving heart sing.
Tate(11): I liked this book a lot! The monster is my favorite character. This monster can shape-shift and it helps the boy by telling him stories and becomes his friend. The end is really sad but I still really liked it. I would give it 5 stars! Beware: there are two cuss words in it.
Jude(7): I was really happy to get this book because I like comics a lot and it was long. I liked how the character, Claudette, wanted to be a warrior. And it was cool that Gaston wanted to be a sword maker. I give this book 5 stars for sure!
Nolan(9): I thought this book was really funny! There is a little adventure but more humor. I give this book 4.5 stars. I would tell my friends to read this book. Even though the main character doesn’t like school, reading this book still gets me excited about my school starting Monday!
