3rd period ACL Language: Sweethearts by Sara Zarr

Hey class,

I am currently reading the book Sweethearts by Sara Zarr and its really good so far. I just started it this month so I cant say much but its about this girl named Jenna that always has bad luck, especially on her birthday. Her past memories are not so great so she has reason to. Its the day of her birthday and events happen already and its not even noon, She feels inside that something really bad is going to happen and when its about to happen someone saves her but runs off. Who was this mystery man and where did he go?

I like the way that the author gets his point across descriptively and orderly . It helps me better understand what point she is trying to get across.

Then one day at recess Matt Bradshaw told me that Cameron had died. The story was that his family had ended up in San Jose, California, Where he always got into fights at school. Matt said cam’s enemies dared him to jump off the school roof, and he did. They said the jump cleared the school yard and he landed in the street. A car was coming and it ran him over, Matt even described his brains getting smeared every were.

As you can see, she gets to the point but gives you details to keep you interested.

xoxo,

Taylor B
