The book I have been reading is call everlost by Neal Shusterman. It is about two kids, Nick and Allie who both her in a car accident. On their way to heaven they bump into each other and land in a different world, Everlost. It is a world where you are not alive or dead. It is between life or death. 

While reading this book I came across the word Adamantly. I didnt know what it meant so I looked at the words around it. I found the word denied after it so I guessed it meant- with an attitude and I was right.

Throughout this book there are a lot of challenging words and you have to use context clue in order to understand the book better.

While Nick and Allie are in everlost they find out that they cant feel any pain. They are practically ghost in a world no one knows about. No one has ever escaped from everlost but Nick and Allie are determined to.

I would be really confused if I was in a world where you not living or dead. Every thing around is the same and will never change. I would be freaked out, wouldn't you?

Reading Log #2

The book that I have been reading this week is called Wringer by Jary Spinneli. It is kind of a sad book. First let me tell what a wringer is. At the annual fair the town has, thousands of pigeons are released. Then hunter shoot them down for fun. It's pretty brutal. Most of the birds die instantly but some of them fall injured. While they try to wobble away boys come out and break its neck. They are called the wringers. They break their necks to take them out of their misery. 

In a small town there lives a boy named Palmer. He has just had a birthday and turned nine. There are three boys that live on his block named Beans, Henry, and Mutto. You might think that those are weird names but those are just their "club names". According to them when you turn nine you can join the club. The bad thing is that they are really big trouble makers. They pull lots of pranks and always get in trouble. Palmers mom doesn't really like the idea of Palmer playing with them.

Mean while Palmer finds out something horrible. When he turns ten he has to become a wringer! His dad was one and he just found out what wringers do. I would be freaked out if I were one too. He dreads the thought of becoming ten. Maybe not all birthdays are welcome.
