Gathering Blue
Gathering Blue is a very fast paced book. We recommend it to anyone who read The Giver because it's the companion book. Kira is an orphan who is handicapped. She has a special gift: weaving. Kira uses it to her advantage and earns an important role in the community. Kira works through her struggles with the help of her amazing friends and magical scrap of fabric that gives her preminitions about the future. She endures many long journeys to earn the knowledge she needs to succeed. Your next book choice should be Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry!
Chains follow up
Chains was a great book. Everyday in groups we talked about our quotes. We would disscus them and explain why we chose them. We would also disscus other important things like ahas. We liked self guided book clubs better. We liked it because we all got to choose our own books. Every group was different. When we disscus it, we can see if that book looks interesting, and get others opinions on it.

Dear Ms.Monaco,
I read the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. I would rate this book four out of ten. It was just really really confusing and I did not understand what was goin on at all times throughout the book. I would recommend this book to people that like mystery books. The whole book is about a lot of people in a hotel that try to figure out a murder case because the winner of it gets one million dollars. My favorite thing about the book is the suprise ending that happens.
My favorite quote from the book is when Turtle Wrextler says to Crow "Alice how about a game of chess?" Ths is a good quote because Turtle Wrexler finds out about the murder and then about Crow and how thta is not her real name. Crow is Alice in real life and she always talked anout how Alice loved chess and Crow did also. No one actully knew who Alice was until a valuble clue gave her away. She had all the same emiotional traits but none physical. That is exactly how Turtle found out because Crow was so emotional all the time and so Turtle put two and two together to figure out that.
The message of this book is even the strangest person can come out on top. Or that anyone can good at something it might be weird but it is possible. That is what Turtle did she didn't act smart but she was. She actully was allowed to listen in on people because Bono thought she would ever b smart enough to do anything.No matter how long or old you can do anything you want. Sometimes when your young things trun out the way you want them to be.
If I could change one thing from this book is unsted of having Turtle confront Mr.Westing at the end have her make him figure out she knows. Mr. Westing is a smart man that knows a lot. He thought he would trick everyone. He loves to play games that was basically how Turtle found out.
The author of this story is an fanstastic writer. She tells you things you dont want to know but end up helping you. The author causes you to think hard and put two and two together. I think this story would have been better if there wasnt so many charcters i believe there was atleast twelve not counting the people who randomly come in during the book.

Chains
Madison S, Jaycee D, Emily B
We have recently finished the book Chains. It was a great book. It was about two sisters Isabel and Ruth. Isabel and Ruth are slaves. Their parents are dead, and they are owned by a mean family. Isabel and Ruth are separated and Isabel wants to escape. She just doesn't know how. So the book is about their fight for freedom. We enjoyed reading it, and recomend it. So if your looking for a book pick up Chains.
