readers jounal#1

Dear Alexander,                                                             
                       The title of my book is Take Me To The River. The author of my book is Will Hobbs. I chose this book because the title looked very good , the picture of the cover looked very cool and appealing to me so that is why i chose this book to read. I also chose it because of the author[Will Hobbs] because i have read another book that he wrote.                                                                                           
The characters in my book are Rio,Dylan. Dylan and Rio are both cousins. They have never met each other. They haven't met each other because they live in different places. But they have written letters to each other.           
The setting of the story is in Mexico. Mexico is where Rio lives, so Dylan is going to Mexico to visit his cousin. Dylan has never been to Mexico because he thinks it is dangerous. He thinks that, because he saw  bad things happened to people in the news before.
The plot of my book is that two boys named Rio and Dylan are cousins.They are planning to meet each other and go to the Rio Grande in Mexico.They both are so happy that they are going to meet each other. So Dylan went to Mexico.Finally the day came they both met each other in person.
The conflict in my book is that they can't decide whether going to the Rio Grande or not. Because Rio's uncle is not home to tell them if they are or not allow to go. But they decide to go because they were planning for this adventure long time ago.They packed up all the supplies they needed because they were going to be in the river for a week.There was another conflict which happened in the river.The conflict was that Rio's canoe hit a lot of sugarcane trees that were bent over the river. Then Dylan couldn't see Rio in the water.Finally Rio came out of the water.
I think this book was really good because it had a lot of details. And because it had a lot of action.And the feeling about my book was that i was really interested in my book.My favorite part of my book was the part where Rio and Dylan met each other.This is my favorite part because i feel happy that they met.My least favorite part was the part where Dylan got bit in the lips by a insect.And he was hurt.

  2. Dear Julio,
    I enjoyed your post. I liked it because you put in a lot of detail. I also thought you could have put in a little more information. Thanks for supplying me with this info.
    I never saw the theme in there. Where did it go? Got to go. Keep me posted.
    sincerely,
    Ethan

  3. Dear Julio,
    you said the reason why Dylan didn't want to go to Mexico because he saw bad things happened to people in the news before. What kind of things did he see in the news? Also, what is Rio Grande? The book you read sounded very interesting. The reason why I say that is because I like to read about trips where something bad happens or something goes wrong. The plot also interests me a lot.
    I think this blog could use a little more details. Other than that, your Reader's Journal is awesome. i might even read the book you wrote about for the Book a Week Challenge.

    Sincerely,
    Jacob Kodner
