Book This Week

This week I read both The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure, which are part of the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. They are both awesome books, and I would reccomend both of them to anyone in the class. I can't give an overview of the plot without giving away what happens in the first book, so you just have to take it on faith that there is a good plot.

Children's Classics week

This week I read James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. I personally believe that anything Roald Dahl writes is the fourth coming of the Holy Text, the first three being Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the Holy Book (the Bible, the Torah, and the Quran, which are basically the same book written in different languages, and with additions and minor changes to some of them). James and the Giant Peach is exactly what it sounds like. I boy gets stuck in a giant peach with a group of giant insects, and is transported to a magic world. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a quick read.

Slice

Expo has been relatively stressless in comparison to other years for me. I think that this year i realized that Expo is a big deal, but the more stressed I get about it the worse my display will end up, so I made sure to not get stressed this year. Also, having an app on the app store was the biggest part of my display that I needed, so  that also made it less stressful for me. I will hopefully not get more stressed as it gets closer to Expo.

Maze Runner

This week I read Maze Runner, by James Dashner. It is about a guy who wakes up in the middle of a maze with no memory of how he got there. It then details his struggles to escape. It is a great book that you should all read. I am doing a book talk on it today, so I will say more about it then.
