Title: Watcher.
Author: Lee weatherly.
Summary: This book is about a girl called Sarah, she lives with her dad. Her mum left them when Sarah was very young. Sarah never knew why but she was about to find out. She logged onto her dads account on the computer, this was very easy because the password was very obvious. Sarah after her! She began to read her dads e-mails and found some from her mum! She finds out that her mum only lives a few blocks away!!
She decides to leave her mum a message saying IM.WATCHING.U. She hangs around the part of town where her mum lives and skips a few days of school. One of the days she sees a car which suddenly makes her remember that it belongs to her mum!!
One day when her mum isnt home she decides to break into the house. She sees loads of pictures of her, throws the pictures at the wall and writes on the wall" IM GLAD YOU LEFT"!! She gets tired and suddenly falls asleep
She wakes up to find her mum looking down at her!! They talk things over and decide to meet up again. Everything turns out good in the end!!!
I would definitly reccomend this book to others!
I think the main theme of this book would defintly be family.

Reflection on " Crazy about books."
I thought that using the internet for book reviews was not a good idea. I liked having a blog and being able to put up pictures and your own choice of colours so from that point of view I liked it but i also found that I always forgot to do it but if it was on paper I wouldn't . I like the idea of being able to go onto other peoples blogs but I never really did it because I didn't have time. No I wouldn't really like to do another blog next year as it was too much hassel and I just kept forgetting and my reports kept dissappearing and I had to do them all almost twice!!

BoOk ReViEw 6- RoLl Of ThUnDeR hEaR mY cRy.
Title: Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry.
Author: Mildred D. Taylor.
Summary: This book is about a black family who are living in the age of very bad racism! It's very hard for them...... as white people don't treat them as equals!! This book is narrated by Cassie who has three brothers!! The book goes through all the terrible things that happen to the family. It shows the night men and how terrified Cassie is. Alot of bad things happen this family along the way including the mother losing her job and the father getting hurt so there is no income coming into the house!! But through it, they all stick together and in the end thats the main thing!!! There is also one white character who stands out because even though hes very young he still believes that racism is wrong and he walks to school with the black Logan children even though his father is one of the night men and his sister treats cassie like dirt. You will have to read the book to find out the whole story!!
Yes i would reccomend this book to others but mainly to the older children(as it is quite confusing!!)
The main theme of this book would definitly have to be racism!!
I dont really know if i would reccomend this book as i didnt really enjoy it!!
I would give this book 5 out of 10 because i didnt really like it but i thought it was ok!!
