Your Reading Blog

This is where you will share what you're reading.  Here's what I want to know when I'm reading your blog posts:

1.  What book are you reading?
2.  Who wrote it?
3.  How far have you read?
4.  What's happened in your book (be very brief)?  If I want more information, I'll ask questions in the comments.
5.  What do you think about it?  Is it good?  WHY?
6.  Why did the author write this (other than making money)?  What makes you think this was his/her motivation?
7.  What's the theme?  What big idea did the author want us to think about when writing this?
8.  Who's the best character?  Why?  How has he grown or changed?
9.  Type out a cool quotation from your book.  Why is it important?
10. What questions do you have about your book?

Feel free to write anything else you notice about your book or author.

What questions do you have?

  1. Blog Post 1 - Trevor Yahr - Transall Saga

    My book is called the Transall Saga. This book was wrote by Gary Paulson. At this point I am around chapter 14.
    So far in my book Mark has went on a trip through the desert hills. He mysteriously fell into a blue which seemed to have either taken him to the future, past, or onto another plant. Currently he is fighting off strange creatures and fighting to stay alive after crashing down from a tree where he was trying tot get food. So far I think its great because the author holds back sooo much information from you and lets you figure out the mystery by yourself. I am also into survival type story so this really fits along great with that. I think the author wrote this because its fun and interesting. I would love writing this book because there is so much that can happen and so many ways the plot line could go. I think the biggest theme the author is trying to make is that no matter what happens if you don't give up faith you will prevail. So far there is only one character. His name is Mark and he seems to have a little bit of an idea as to what he is doing.”Good now what this be.” Mark cut the vine on the package and unfolded the skin. Inside was a bluish piece of glass. Mark was astonished. He’d had no idea these people knew how to make glass. He turned it over in his hand. There were letters printed on the bottom: PRODUCT OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY”. This is a very important quotation because it proves that he is still on earth. He then needs to find out when and how he got there. So far I have little questions other than where is he? and how exactly he got there.
    This is Trevor Yahr I dont know what happened.
