It's been awhile since our last post. Life has been busy. I was finishing up my last two summer classes with Northern Arizona University and Ellee was getting ready to begin Jr. High. Here's to beginnings and endings....
In the meantime, we continued reading. We finished The Aviary, began and completed Yellow Star, and are now enjoying What Happened on Fox Street. So, although we weren't blogging, we were still reading :)
I, personally, enjoyed The Aviary immensely. Ellee did, too. Let us tell you a few things we liked about this book:
Sherri: What was your favorite part of this book?
Ellee: When secrets were revealed. Sorry, I can't tell you what they were! You'll have to read it yourself :)
Sherri: I know, it's hard to talk about the book without giving anything away. So much happens toward the end.
Ellee: I know! The end was one of my favorite parts, too.
Sherri: I liked how the book was set in the late 1800's, early 1900's. How did you like the historical aspect of The Aviary, Ellee?
Ellee: I liked learning about the different types of clothes they wore, the houses they lived in, and the kind of stuff they used to do then.
Sherri: Me, too. It's interesting to learn how life was lived in the past. Who would you recommend read this book?
Ellee: I think kids in 5th - 7th grade would like this book.
The Aviary is a great read. It grabs your attention and holds it till the end. But we won't tell you anymore, because we would give all the good stuff away. So go check it out from your public library or buy at your local bookstore. If you do read this book, please share with us in the comments what you thought!
We'll talk about the book Yellow Star on our next post. A really, really important book that everyone should read.
We hope you have a good book to read this weekend!
Cheers,
Sherri and Ellee
