Student Response Question

What is the best book you've ever read? When did you read it, for instance what grade? And why do you think it is the best book?

~Ms. Decker

I'll start. Over the summer I read The Hunger Games Trilogy and I was blown away by how involved I became with the characters and the storyline. I felt like I actually knew the characters, because the author gave such good descriptions to who they were and what they were like. When characters became ill, I felt badly for them, like I wanted to help them! I was so captivated by the sequence of events I could hardly put the books down to sleep or even eat! I think I finished all three books in a little over a week's time. Once I was finished with the whole series, I felt extremely sad and almost depressed, because my "friends" were gone and I couldn't experience their lives with them anymore.
