I read this book Petey. Petey is elderly and  gets picked on because he’s in a wheelchair. This kid named Trevor is like his brother but he’s not. He just takes care of him. Sissy is like Petey’s nurse and lets Trevor do fun stuff with him. This kid-I forgot what his name was- but he spun Petey around and he fell on the ground.Trevor went down to tell Petey to fake a seizure and they pulled it off. The next day, Trevor yelled at the kid. One week later,Trevor took Petey fishing and, believe it or not,  Petey caught more fish than Trevor. Trevor had made three thousands dollars just for a new wheelchair for Petey.

I read the book, A Hole in the World, by: Smith Sonian. This book is an x and is about a boy named Paul that has to go live with his grandparents.  He makes a mistake that wasn’t really his fault. He was trying to stick up for his friend. I made a connection (text to text) between, Survivng the Applewhites and, A Hole in the World. These two books involve two boys that have trouble and go to a place where they both realize something that changes their lives. This boy named Paul and a dog named Einstein  love each other very much but a ghost comes and makes the dog run away. Who is this ghost and why is it haunting them?

In the book The Winter of Red Snow the main character had to do tons of extra chores because George Washinton marched his troops into Valley Forge. She had to wash clothes untill her hands were raw and she made shirts. Her friend shaved her head for 6 shillings and a soldier stole the money. Then a boy ran up to her and pulled off her bonnet right in front of her parents. The punishment was to not wear a bonnet where ever she goes. That was really bad. Keep reading to find out what happens next!!!!!
