Dear Mr.Hudson I'm reading a book called Shredderman Meet the Gecko by Wendelin Van Draanen.So far the story is about Nolan he is going to see the gecko one of his favorite character in his favorite TV show and its for his birthday. At school at the playground he over heard that Bubba Bixby was trying to go there to.I predicted before I read and I don't know if my prediction is correct yet.My reactions of the part that I'm reading is why does the school bully want to go see the gecko and Nolan is lucky to see a character in a TV program. I Think the author wrote this book because maybe she was in a school that there was a bully and a kid that goes and sees a character in a TV Program. I cant really find any theme right now because I'm only in the 1 chapter. I think the character Bubba will need to get manner just like Michael in Michael's Manners and Nolan he should continue being how he is like right now.Kind Regards,Lloyd
Wendelin came to visit my school this year and gave a vibrant presentation, which led me to pick up her books. It was very interesting to hear her background and what led her to these pieces. In her head she heard a male narrators voice which led to this series of books (her previous series Sammie Keys. My librarian, as a result of the kids requests, ordered several of Wendelin. I managed to snag one and was thoroughly entertained. This is a great example of how a series can snag a kid and keep them reading.
