II just finished reading Endangered by Eliot Schrefer. It is one of the SSYRA books for 2014-2015. My first instinct was that it was just a book about another animal lover. Nothing wrong with that of course, but I was not expecting to actually learn all that much from it or feel emotions. It takes place in Congo in Africa and is the tale of a girl that finds herself coming to the rescue of a baby bonobo. What's that you ask? Well, you will have to either read the book or do a little research to find out for yourself. The bond between Sophie and the bonobo really touched my soul. I also liked learning more about the Hutus and Tutsis. Although it is a fictional story, Eliot uses factual information about the bonobos and the battle in the Congo area between the Hutus and Tutsis. As I always say, much can be learned about the world by reading even if it is a piece of fiction! Let me know what you think of the book when you read it for yourself.

I am currently reading a book called Bounce by Natasha Friend. It's about a girl named Evyn who's going through a lot of problems. I think this story will be a good story to read because it can relate to others who are going through the same problems. It's "insightful and heartfelt".

Hi, I'm reading Paper Towns by John Green. I've been reading this book since Friday afternoon. At first I thought this book was all about maps, hence the title, paper towns. But honestly my opinion has changed. Quentin (Aka Q) is a senior weeks away from graduating. He's lived next to Margo most if his life, and over the years their friendship has gradually faded away. But Q is hopelessly in love with Margo. But as the end of the year rolls around Margo needs the help of Q, to get revenge on her enemies.

I am currently about to read Looking For Alaska by John Green. I haven't started reading it yet but I read the back of the book and it stunned me. I have previously read some of John Greens other books and I absolutely loved them. Greens use in grammar and vocabulary is incredible.

I'm currently reading "the endangered" and at first I thought it was going to be stupid but it actually is really good and my favorite part is when she was face chatting with her dad and asked what she should name the bow-bow.

I wish Auto would eat or drink something, I think he is just scared of the girl and her mother. That's probably why he isn't eating.

My favorite part so far is when the "cop" from the border came with two baby bonobos and the mom freaked out on him and he believed her that she put a spell on him.

I think in the class book that we are reading "endangered" that Anastasia is going to let Sophie and Auto stay with they because she already met them and Sophie is a girl and Auto is a bonabo

This book is soooo good! I can't wait to see what happens, I think that the other bonobos will accept her and be nice, and maybe Otto won't want to leave with soffie and stay with the other bonobos.

I predict that the group of bonobos will accept Sophie into their group because she has otto, and they probably see her as a mother,and not a threat.

I'm really enjoying this book so far, the story hasn't even fully developed yet and its still making me bite my nails. Will Sophie survive? How will she make it home?

I think Sophi will end up taking Auto with her because if she doesn't take him, he may start crying and the people will hear him and they will kill him just as they did to the rest of the bonobos and the people who were in the enclosures. They may even take him with them. Auto is so used to being raised by human people, he may not be able tonsurvive without anyone.
