The Westing Game

I started reading the book, “The Westing Game,” in my Language Arts class. It is about sixteen people who are chosen to live in Sunset Towers. Sam Westing, who lives in the Westing house on the cliff of a hill close to Sunset Towers, has died. The Westing Game starts with the sixteen heirs trying to find the murderer with clues that they get. Each person is paired together with someone and they get to share the clues. I like this book because it makes you try to figure out the clues, too. You get to see everyone’s clues while the characters don’t. It’s also fun to picture every character because of the descriptions the author gives you for each character. I drew the characters from the book! This is a great book even though I have not finished the book yet. The book is mysterious, interesting, and fun to read.

 

Tree Planting

Last week, I went tree planting at Keep Durham Beautiful (Hillside Park). Something that I learned about the park is that Hillside Park High School did not have 12th grade until 1937, when it was introduced as a vocational training grade throughout the 1940s. I learned how to plant a tree with my friends. First, my group had to shovel out a hole in the ground to make a base. Then, we put the tree inside. We had to separate the roots so the tree could grow freely and not in a circle. Then, we covered the tree with dirt and sprinkled mulch on the surface. Finally, I put a plastic shield in the tree to protect it. My group named the tree Fredrick (pronounced Fridrick). I love tree planting!

My (Second Round) Snow Day!

On Saturday and Sunday, I received more snow! I had a snowball fight with my dad (he lost), I made snow angels in the ground, and my baby brother got to touch some snow (he is only one year old). Afterwards, I made some hot chocolate and went outside to build a snowman. My grandparents and I first built a snowman and then cut out pieces of cardboard and drew black marker on them to look like eyes and ears. I had so much fun enjoying the second round of snow!

On Monday, I didn’t receive a lot of snow. It was mostly ice. Because of that, I only made a small snowman. I had a lot of fun pulling my baby brother around the hill. He had a lot of fun! Even though the head of our snowman melted, I still loved playing in the snow and ice! Later, I went inside and made some hot chocolate! I had a very fun snow day!

School for Good and Evil series by Soman Chainani

Have you ever imagined a fantasy life? The School for Good and Evil series by Soman Chainani is a fantasy book about Good and Evil, Lion and Snakes, and a dangerous adventure. This book is about two girls, both totally different but bonded somehow, fighting for a happy ending. If you love fantasy books, this book is perfect for you.

In the first book, Sophie and Agatha live a plain, normal life in Gavaldon. When they were snatched away to the School for Good and Evil, they were dropped off at the exact opposite school they wanted to be in! Later, Sophie starts turning into a witch. The Storian almost kills Sophie, but Agatha saves her. They both returned to Gavaldon and continued their normal life. In the second book, Sophie and Agatha return to their school but realize something is wrong…..

I love this book because there are many plot twists and unexpected turns in the stories, which I find interesting. My favorite part is in the last book of the series, when the One True King is decided, and everything is returned to normal. Sometimes, you might think that the book has already ended, but suddenly the villain returns! As you read more and more books in the series, each book gets more shocking!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I rate this book 5/5 stars 🤩 This book is for people 10+ years because there are only small violent parts, and they don’t last long.

Read the entire series (each book leads to another book, like one long book) and comment on your favorite book in the series!
