Welcome Moreland Hills 5th Graders!

This blog is dedicated to sharing our thoughts about the books we read and love. All of the fifth grade students and teachers will be able to see the content and information posted. Keep in mind that there are some ground rules that we all need to follow.

This website will be a lot of fun. This is a great way to communicate with each other at all times. We will share thoughts on books, recommendations, and show are strong thinking as readers.

We look forward to having an engaging and fun time!

The Book Without Words Recommendation

In the book The Book Without Words there are many strange and weird parts to read. For example one day there is a old man named Thorston THE next day the old man is twenty years younger! Weird isn't it? The reason why is because Thorston has The Book Without Words. This book holds many secrets, including how to get younger! However, to become younger he must sacrifice a child. The child must be the same age as when Thorston was when he stole the Book Without Words. Another strange part in the story is when a 14 year old boy named Damian gets turned into a piece of gold just because he made the old man upset! That's got to be harsh. Finally I would like to say this if you like old people who can control magic and talking ravens and goats, The Book Without Words is perfect for you. YEAH I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU!
