What a great time we had! I miss you all already, and can't wait for next year! Here is a list of three books I'd like you to read over the summer. For each book, please write a page about an aspect of the story that you can relate to your own life. You can do this through an experience you had, something you have in common with the protagonist (main character) or a time when you've felt something that one of the characters is feeling.  

Also, for each book, please compare and contrast something about the book (the plot, setting, theme, etc) to another book you've read at some point.

Thanks, and happy reading!

Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

Matilda by Roald Dahl
