Week 1 - March 17 - 18, 2011

     Give the title, author, publisher, copyright date, genre (how do you know the genre - from the back of the book, the title page, the text?), a description of the cover of the book, and the main character(s) you have met so far and on what page you first met them. 

        The book I'm reading is"The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle,"by the author Avi,the publisher is the arrangement with Orchard books, New York. The copy right date was on 1990.The genre of my book is Adventure, I know this because the teacher told me that the genre was in the cover of the book in a little sticker ,she told me because I didn't know were to look for it.


The cover of my book has a girl who I'm pretty sure it is Charlotte Doyle who is wearing a blue dress.She is in a ship and I know this  because you can see it in the background.You could see she is staring out to nowhere and I think she is happy because she is kind of smiling.I think she is happy because she is living the time of her live sailing through the oceans. The cover also has the tittle ,with the letters color red.It also has a award for being a good book on top next to the tittle and it has a little  hook  in  the  top of  the  tittle and  it  said " A spellbinding tale of murder on the high seas". This hook made me more interested in the book.






  Right now I have 4 main characters which are Charlotte Doyle who I met on p.7, Zachariah who I met on p.22, and Mr.Hollybrass the first mate and Jaggery the captain who I both met on page. 29. They are right now setting in chapter 5 where Charlotte and the captain are talking and Mr.Hollybrass is east dropping on them and Zachariah is working on the ship. They are all connected to each other some way and I think I almost know why.Right now I think there connection is that they are looking and interested in the "red robins" I think this because when the captain heard that someone had a red robin he got all mad.I think  a red robin is some kind of clue to a treasure, I know this because I read on p.83 that Zachariah new it was a piece of a map to great treasure.
