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!

Cover Up Book Recommendation

If you like mysteries about football than "Cover-Up" is the book for you! The book is about a boy named Steve Thomas his friend Susan Carol Anderson who work for USTV (a television channel like ESPN) and Steve gets fired right before he and Susan Carol leave for the Super Bowl. So his "agent" Bobby Kelleher takes to the Super Bowl on a job with The Washington Herald. When his plane lands he gets a ride from CBS President Sean McManus, and he offers him a job at CBS, and Steve takes it. On the other hand while Susan Carol was at a party the NFC champions doctor says that 5 of their offensive linemen are on HGH (a steroid). So it's up to Steve and Susan Carol to solve the mystery.
