Hello there - I hope you are all enjoying the new book Holes. I seem to be rather behind and am disappointed I was not able to come to see you all the last couple of weeks so we could finish up our discussions on Baseball in April.

As you are all now on a new book, perhaps you can tell me which book has been your favourite so far and why?

Who is your favourite character from all the books to date? Why?

I hope to be able to see you before the end of the semester. I am on vacation next week in Belize (do you know where that is?) so will not be able to come to see you all.

HOLES

Hey guys,

What is the book about? Who are the main characters? Do you think you are going to like this book? Why or why not? This book takes place in Texas....I wonder if you are going to find out anything about my home state. A lot of people rate it 4 1/2 stars out of 5 at www.barnesandnobles.com Go and check out other people's rating of the book....she what they think of it.

The View From Saturday Chapter 1

1. Why does Noah's mother require him to write a B & B letter? Why doesn't he want to write the letter? Do you think that Noah is right (that his mother owes his grandparents a B & B letter, not him)? 

2. What is a B & B letter? Have you ever had to write one? Describe your experience. 

3. On the first page of the book, the group The Souls is introduced. Why might this be important? What is a soul? 

4. List the characters in the 1st chapter and describe each one with one adjective. 

5. This story takes place in two places. Describe these two places. Have you ever been sent away for the summer? Where have you been sent? With whom did you stay? Was it a good experience? Were you happy to come home?
