Joshua’s comments from the 9C group.

The name of my book is Sterling Squadron and the author’s name is Eric Nylund. I’m on page 19 of 307 and so far I’ve read 1 book so far. I’m doing my book talk on my previous book Storm Chasers and I’m TEXT TO TEXT with my new book. I believe it is text to text because the books are kind of similar. I believe they are similar because there both in a series and there both about people that must overcome a task. Also I’m doing TEXT TO WORLD, still on my previous book. I believe my previous book text to world because my previous book is about a kid who mother and sister die in a car crash and now him and his dad travel the country helping people in storms. In the story of my previous book Chase, the main character, is at a new school with his new friend Nicole whose city is preparing for a storm and at the end of the day the storm hits and the bus they are in crashes into the lake but luckily only Chase(boy), Nicole(girl), there new friend Rashawn(girl), and the school bus driver(man) were on the bus but sadly the driver dies...to know the you will have to read the book Storm Chasers. I believe my previous book is text to world because my previous book can relate to recent storms like hurricane Sally and Katrina and how people and organizations like the Red Cross helped people that were struck by the storms...but the book has more action.

The name of the book that I am reading is Storm Runners and I am on page 83 of 143 pages. The first conflict in my story is internal. It’s internal because in the beginning of my book the main character Chase’s mom and sister are killed in a car crash and further into the story he is asked what happened and he has a flashback of what happened. In the flashback, he remembers being at Boy Scout camp waiting for his parents to pick him up. Chase remembers the sadness and pain he felt as they actually passed his parent’s car in the accident. Chase has to live with that sad feeling. The second conflict is Man vs. Environment. It’s Man vs. Environment because the main character (Chase) is uncertain about getting on the bus to go home from school because there is a hurricane on the way and he gets into an argument with his principle about how the busses aren’t safe in high winds and could flip over in high winds and that they should stay at the school. He knows this because he did a report on school busses buses.

The name of my book is Storm Runners by Roland Smith. The main characters name is Chase Masters. Chase’s mom and sister died in a car crash so now it’s just him and his father. John Masters is Chase’s father. He owns a business called M.D. Emergency Services. Tomas works with Chase’s father and knows very little English but is great with tools. I am guessing that he is Spanish.

My book has 143 pages and I’m on page 44.
