WONDER by R.J. Palacio

Yay for Thursday! Tomorrow is Friday! Well, for most of you Spring break started today (Mine is next week!) But either way today is book review time and just yesterday I finished reading Wonder, so here you have it!
WONDER by RJ Palacio

August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial abnormality that made his over protective parents homeschool him, until now. Auggie considers himself a completely normal kid, but can he convince others of that? Middle school is hard enough, and if you've ever been the new kid in school, you know it can be hard. In this beautiful story we discover different peoples points of view of August and follow Auggie through the new challenges of middle school. R.J. Palacio has written a modern must read classic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I think you will too! You can find it at the Tremonton Library
Happy  reading and happy Thursday!

Wednesday!

Today while looking at random facts, I found several about hearts. One being that the largest heart on the planet belongs to a blue whale and is typically 1,500 pounds! And because the heart has its own electrical impulse, it can continue to beat even when separated from the body ( As long as it has an adequate supply of oxygen). The stereotypical heart is meant to be two hearts fused together. And although when people hearts are broken they feel they could die, an elephant can die from a broken heart. Stress can also literally break your heart. It's is called "Broken Heart Syndrome" and occurs in stressful situations and occurs when the bottom of the heart balloons into the shape of a pot. Definitly strange. Have any requests? GOOGLE FORM FOR THAT!

The Selection by Kierra Cass

The Thursday Book Review! Yay! Todays book review is about a love story
The Selection by Kierra Cass
America Singer. Average girl who thinks she has her life planned out alongside the love of her life, Aspen. In a future separated by castes marrying someone lower than you, is considered wrong. Even so, America has her heart set on marrying Aspen but when she gets pressured to enter a selection competition for  becoming the future queen, she gives in and her life gets turned upside-down. When the prince turns out to not be as horrid as she though he was she questions, what if her life wasn't meant for Aspens? From living the life of a lower caste to suddenly being expected to fit right in with royalty, it comes with troubles one could hardly imagine. Competing with other girls for a crown is hard enough (Even if you don't want the crown!), and what if royalty wasn't as picture perfect as it was made out to be? In this 6 book series follow America through the many things of the Selection.
Try reading the book and tell me what you think! 😀
Wonderful Thursday to you guys!

Palindromes

Palindromes are not very common but there seems to be quite a bit. The definition of palindrome, as explained by Dictionary.com is, "A word, line, verse, number, sentence, etc., reading the same backward as forward, as Madam, I'm Adam or Poor Dan is in a droop." Some are names such as Hannah, Naman, Bob, Ava, Otto, Layla and Reiner. While others can be sentences like the ones above. Some are words also like, racecar, radar, civic, stats and kayak. Palindromes are fun words (Also fun to make some up) Comment any palindromes you guys know 😀😀
Do you guys have any requests for me to write? Interested in sharing your poem or story? Here comes another google survey!

With best regards
