Finished Icebound Land about a week and a half ago and immediately started The Battle for Scandia. Now I'm about half way through that. I can not get over how much I LOVE those books. It's fun to re-read them and see how much Will and Horace grow as people and learn to make a good come back when Halt playfully jabs at them.
OK, for school, I have not gotten into To Kill A Mockingbird yet, but I will soon. I did read, however, a book called After the Dancing Days by Margaret Rostkowski. It was good, I like it. It was about a young girl, Annie, right after World War I and how she adjusts to the changes the war made and makes a friend at the hospital for injured soldiers who aren't able to go home yet. Cute story and had a good lesson.
I also read a book by Beverly Cleary, a well-known children's author, called Dear Mr. Henshaw. This book was a bout a boy in six grade who is having some problems adjust to a new school and having his parents divorced and his dad gone. It is written in a form of letters half to the boy's favorite author and half to his diary (yes, he calls it a diary). It was OK, definitely an real easy read and not a book I would read for fun.
Next book I'm going to read is Christy, an older book and I can't remember the author right now. But that's all folks!!! =D
