Peter and the Starcatchers…
I can not say enough about this book! I love it so far! Peter Pan has always been one of my favorite childhood stories. I am not sure which character I like this best thus far, but if I had to pick I would say Molly. I love how strong, courageous, and stead-fast she seems to be. Molly is a character that I would like to impersonate, or the role that she plays is one that I would love to play if I could be in a fiction book. I really enjoy the flow of the book, it seems as though the pages just fly by like the wind. I had to stop myself tonight just because I have other work to do, or otherwise I would have continued to read. Students would love this book! My little brother has always enjoyed books like this and I can’t wait for him to read it and tell me what he thinks. It is a novel that I could see going very far such as: with activities, SSR, take home reading, read aloud, group activities, etc. This book gets my attention, and if it can get my attention it can probably get that of a students’. I also found myself intrigued with Black Stache. On page 84 in the last paragraph it reads, “Then he stood and, stepping on the remains of the Wasp, stalked out of the cabin. Time for the kill.” I love it! What a wonderful selection of words. He defiantly means business. I love how this character is so mean and determined. Sometimes I wish I was more like him and knew exactly what I wanted. I think it is important to point out the positive qualities of a bad character. Everybody will identify with a different character or a different part of the story and I find that important!
