We just read the book "Grandfather's Journey" by Allen Say.
This is a quote from the author. Think about what he is saying about books. What do you think. In the comments, tell me if reading books changes you and how it does so.
A good story should alter you in some way; it should change your
thinking, your feeling, your psyche, or the way you look at things. A
story is an abstract experience; it's rather like venturing through a
maze. When you come out of it, you should feel slightly changed.

Mrs. M,
This quote reminds me of the book "Harry and the Terrible Whatzit." I read it again a few weeks ago with the class. That book changed my life because I was always scared of the basement when I was little, but the book helped me overcome my fear.

The first time I read the book Kanani it made me think of the blue seas, and it changed my mind so much it felt like I was in Hawaii.I learned a lot about Hawian monk seals.

Dear Mrs.M,
when I read ''Ellie McDoodle'' it made me remember when I moved from Nashville to here. I missed my old friends and made new friends. I still miss my old friends, but I am having fun with my new friends!

Dear Mrs. Mauldin,
I think that quote is very true, because when I read adventure stories, I sometimes learn some new tricks for running away, for example in, From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler they run away right before school, so my mom would think I'm at school and the school would think I'm absent or sick!
Your Friend,
