Book Club Reflection

Club Name: Group 9 Book Title: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelle Pages Read: 1-16

Summary of my reading:

So far in my book, Stargirl, a new girl has come to Mica High. She is unlike any other girl in the school. She wears weird clothes and carries around her pet rat. At lunch she plays the ukelele and sings Happy Birthday to everyone. Leo and his pals don't know what to make of her. Is she for real or is she an actress, like Hillary keeps saying? So far we can only guess.

Weekly Reflection: Blog about your first impressions of your book (do you like it? Are you intrigued?). What do you think of the way our book clubs are organized? Please describe the way each book club period will work and whether you think it's working well. Please, respond to these questions in AT LEAST SIX SENTENCES.

Stargirl is an excellent book so far. I immediately was interested in the main character, Stargirl. Like Leo I wonder if she is putting on an act or sincere. As for my Book Club, I think it's going well so far. I wish we could take the books home, but I understand that we have to keep them organized. I'm a little behind in my reading so I think I'll ask Ms. McKeon to check out a copy of Stargirl to take home with me. Or maybe I'll stay for afterschool to read. My group members are pretty good, except one girl who's not doing her work, but at least I know that a lot of Book Club work is done independently and so she won't affect my grade. Book Clubs are the best unit we've done so far and I can't wait to read more!
