I survived - The Japanese Tsunami 2011

This book is a very suspenseful page turner and at the end there are facts about the tsunami.
4.5/5

Underworlds

This book is full of adventure and mystery, and mythology and a very good book. 4/5
Bryan

It is about three friends that travel to the Underworld to save their friend that has been swallowed by Hades. I liked the part with the Myrmidons fighting the three friends in the bronze tower. My favourite character is probably Jon.

I didn't like the part where Charon says they can't have a trip back across the Styx river even though he said it was fine to have a round trip

The Unwanteds

A fantasy of art and magic outside the gray, gloomy walls of Quill.
Unwanteds is a fascinating and suspenseful book. Everybody has to escape death more than once. Death comes with the mutter of the mouth or flick of a wrist. "Quill prevails while the strong survive" until Artame and Quill find peace.
Chloe

This book is full of magic and fantasy! 6.5/10

Llama Drama - In it to win it

Book read: Llama Drama

The book is about llamas competing  between themselves. It is OK but I would rate it a 6 out of 10 because I expected it to be funnier. Also there wasn't enough action for me.

I enjoyed the parts with the two bad guys named Bolt & Dolt.

Dixon's Readers Choice!

We just started yesterday and already I have a review! Well done Filip in Div.3
For other students who want more chances to win some books and to have their voices heard, please send me your reviews at kborthwick@sd38.bc.ca

Happy reading!

The voting will begin at the end of April, so there is lots of time to read all the books....

Readers Choice

Readers Choice is a new club that we are going to try out this winter.  It is a way for the Dixon students to have their voice be heard about which book is their favourite.  There will be 4 French novel titles and 6 English novel titles and there will be 5 copies of each text.  The students can read as many as they can and vote the week before spring break.  To earn more votes and a chance to win some of the leftover books, students can hand in a short review of the book, that I will be posting on the bulletin board outside the library.  This is not a mandatory club, we will meet once and then it is the responsibility of the student to come and exchange for a different title.  I hope we have a good turnout and I look forward in seeing which book becomes Dixon's Choice 2014!

Happy Reading!
