Corey day 3 Hello fellow bloggers. I disagree with you Olivia I think this book is not interesting, and it is really boring. there does not seem to be any real plot to the story. I HOPE it will develop a plot because if it doesn't I will not like this book even more. I think that Nadia's father is not mean he is just really really protective! Lily I think a orchid is a place where there is a lot of flowers and other plants. I think it is crazy to have children to memorize FOURTEEN lines of poetry each month. That would be torture. I think that it is wired that they only have the children memorize the times tables up through 12. I learned up to fifteen times tables LAST YEAR!!!!! I wish I was as good as Ethan's brother Lucas his brother is great at everything. I found a simile on page 63 paragraph 2 "he has become a myth like Paul Bunyun or Davey Crockett." You are right Olivia there is tons of similes in this book. I thought was funny how bad Ethan wanted to have his own seat. He wanted that really bad, but he gave it up. I thought was interesting that you don't know who wrote the word CRIPPLE. I thought it was funny that Ethan's luck ran out and the store ran out of all the other puzzles they had on display. I liked Ethan's joke he made to comfort Julian about when Hamilton wrote some mean things on his book bag. I am glad that the four of the kids are getting along really well. I realized that the souls in the first chapter is the 4 kids we are getting told about. I thought that the word chops in the book is a different word of any word I have ever heard of.
