Hi boys and girls! I hope that you are all enjoying your summer! I am so proud of all your efforts and how much great reading you are doing. You are reading some of my favorite books, Nancy Drew, Judy Blume - I enjoyed reading all of them! I always enjoyed Judy Blume books because I felt like the characters in her books were going through some of the things I was going through- trouble in school, a fight with a brother or sister, making a tough decison. Is that true for you? I am reading mysteries this summer. I love to keep track of the clues using post its or a time line. I like to challenge my self to keep up with the detective! As you write your posts remember to tell how you feel about the books you are reading, what it reminds you of, how you connect to the book or one of the characters- make those text to self, text to text or text to world connections. Happy reading!! You guys are doing great!!!
Miss G.

Fudge-a-Mania
The Hatcher and the Tubman families decide to spend their summer vacation together in Maine, not next door to each other, but in the same house, much to the disgust of Peter Hatcher and his arch-rival Sheila Tubman. Sheila and Peter are related at the end of the story because their grandparents marry each other. Fudge no longer plans to be a bird when he grows up, but instead a bird breeder, or as he misprounounces it, "bird breather", to which Sheila immediately corrects him by saying he cannot breathe for birds. This is a great bird.
Double Fudge
Peter is twelve years old and in the seventh grade. For weird motives, Fudge has taken up a hobby in money, inventing songs about money, drawing pictures of money, and after he visits the Mint, the situation only gets worse. Moreover, they meet Peter's father Warren's long-lost cousin's family, Howie Hatcher from Hawaii and his perfect twin daughters Flora and Fauna. They invite themselves to stay with Peter's family, and only cause more mayhem when they embarrass Peter in school. This is a great book to read.
