Madison EM YEAR 10

Catwoman Soulstealer. It wasn’t about stealing souls! It’s about Catwoman being a burglar and her family – her sister being sick, and about her parents and why she does the things she does.

Archie G Year 8

What are you reading?

I am reading The Bone Sparrow for Year 8 English.

What do you think of it so far?

It’s good, intriguing. There is lot of switching between two characters. It gives insight to detention centres. I haven’t finished it yet, but its good so far.

Do you think it’s a good book to read for your English class?

It’s easy to read, enjoyable. There are not too many tricky words, and you can understand the gist of it pretty quick.

What have you learnt from it?

I found you understand what goes on in detention centres. We are very lucky where we are and how lucky we are, not coming from conflict.
