Tomorrow When the War Began, by John Marsden
intriguing, mysterious, addictive!
This book is about a group of friends who go out camping in the Australian outback without their parents, and when they return, they realise that they have been the only survivors in the WORLD from a nuclear war. They are completely on their own.
I’d recommend this book for 11+ readers who love a good story with lots of twists. It’s defintely for advanced, mature readers, but is well worth the effort. John Marsden is an award winning author. I was introduced to this author in my very first class when I became a teacher – by a grade 5 student! Let me know if anyone gets hold of this book to read, and what you thought of it.

Jacky Daydream
By Jaqueline Wilson
Jacky daydream is a biography about Jaqueline Wilson.
It tells the reader loads of information all about her baby years, early childhood, school years and life about all her family.
I really like this book and would read it over and over if I wanted to.
I like the bit at the end of each chapter where it includes a bit of a story that Jaqueline has written that realates to that chapter. And you have to guess what book it is from.
FACT: It is an auto biography which means jaqueline herself wrote it.
I would recommened this book to anyone who likes Jaqueline Wilson and would like to find more about her. Or is looking for an example of a biography.
(I read it as I thought it goes well with our unit of inquiry as it is a biography.
And I read it beacuse I was looking for an example of a biography for the biography I was writing)

The diary of a young girl {the diary of Anne Frank}
By Anne Frank
This book is about what happened when the franks went into hiding.
The Germans wanted holland to be a dutch country with NO jews so they searched every house for jews. Sometimes they would charge large amounts for each person so they didn`t have to go. They sent the jews to labour camps where they would be worked to death then taken off by a truck to be gassed.
So the franks decided to go into hiding along with another family called the Van Daans.
There were eight people in total: Anne,her sister Margot, Their mum, Their dad, Mr Van daan, Mrs van Daan and their son Peter.
About a year later they included a old densist called Mr. Dussel.
They hid for 25 months. But very sadly on the 4th august they were found.
Boys and girls went to different camps so Anne never got to see her father.
Anne`s mother died in a different camp to Anne and hern sister.Mrs van Daan died in the same place too.
Apparently Anne cried every time someone went off to be gassed. She saw her best friend Lies for just one night during the camp. They cried together but were very pleased to see each other. Anne didn`t get told straight away her sister died but soon she sensed it. Later she died very peacefully with no thoughts in her mind whatsoever.
Only her dad survived and he was the one who found her diary and secretly published it.
Her dad`s name was Otto Frank.
The story was made into shows and books.
Altogether about 900,000 of her books have been sold worldwide.
I would reccomemed this book to people who will be able to be able to understand it and be grown up about it.
As it can be very said
and some bits can be hard to understand.

Hi! I’ve enjoyed reading your book recommendations. I currently teach fifth grade Math in Laurelville, Ohio, but I previously taught fifth grade Language Arts. I’d like to share with you some of my all-time favorite read-alouds (based on end-of-year surveys of my students):
1. Harris and Me
Author: Gary Paulsen. Hilarious! My students would literally beg me to read more each day. If you check out this book, please let me know what you think of the electric fence scene. At the end of the book, can you guess who the “me” is?
2. The Giver
Author: Lois Lowry. Suspenseful, confusing, thought-provoking. Jonas lives in a community where there is no money, no rudeness, no pain. As he begins learn more about the task he has been chosen for, he realizes what has been sacrificed so that his community can live like this. Would you like to live in Jonas’s community? If so, what would you be willing to give up?
3. Among the Hidden
Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix. suspenseful, thrilling. Luke is an illegal third child who must never be seen by anyone other than his mom, dad, and brother. Would you like to be told you had to stay in your attic and never be seen by anyone, especially the Population Police? What would you do? Read this first book of the Among the Hidden series by this author. Each book in the series just gets better and better!
I hope you check out these books and enjoy them as much as my students have! Most of all, keep reading!

Book:Judy Moody goes to college
Author:Megan McDonald
nice, , rare-squared
Judy needs to improve her math .When her parents knew about how she was doing in math, they told Judy that she needed tutoring! To her, it meant revising, flash cards and a boring tutor.But then she noticed her tutor is a crucial college student with an awsome sense of style. Judy really liked her. Judy’s bad math-i-tude turns into an radical glad-i-tude!!!
PEACE OUT
(That’s what she says in the book)
